We look forward to your visit to experience and enjoy our natural beauty, our rich history and our many attractions. Nassau County is less than 20 miles from Times Square, the Crossroads of the World, easily reached by car or the Long Island Rail Road, and less than a half-hour ride from LaGuardia, Kennedy and MacArthur airports.
