What Can Guests Also Do In The Monroe, NY Area During This Carnival?


Those who attend the Village of Monroe Carnival can also explore the area. Depending on the time that guests attend and then leave the festival, they can add these experiences to their list.

Be sure to check out Museum Village while in the area, which is a historic museum. Also in Monroe, NY, locals love the Captain’s Table nearby. For a sweet treat, head to Wally's Ice Cream Parlor II in the area.

To add more fun into this day, the Castle Fun Center isn’t too far from this carnival. In addition to these suggestions, you could also visit LEGOLAND NEW YORK which is located in Goshen. LEGOLAND is a close drive from the Village of Monroe Carnival.

Eat Your Way Through The Hudson Valley With The Best Ice Cream

I have always enjoyed stopping by my favorite local ice cream shops and choosing a new flavor. Whether it's a hot fudge sundae, chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a cone, or an ice cream sandwich, count me in.

The Hudson Valley has strange ice cream flavors. From lemon poppyseed to thai iced tea and barn boots, there aren't any boring flavors in our area.

A 'Premiere' Hudson Valley treat shop was expanding their space during the winter months to prepare for a busy summer season.

Thankfully, we have a large selection of local ice cream shops to visit in the Hudson Valley.
