Samanea New York, the retail, entertainment and dining destination located at 1500 Old Country Road in Westbury, New York, recently celebrated the grand opening of Empire Adventure Park, a first-to-market trampoline and active entertainment venue.
Empire Adventure Park will be the first new entertainment anchor tenant on the second floor of Samanea New York in more than 25 years. Formerly the Mall at the Source, Samanea New York has undergone a $30 million redevelopment and revitalization project over the past five years to successfully transform the property into a lifestyle destination. Samanea New York currently has a 78% occupancy rate.
“Empire Adventure Park has been many years in the making, and I am proud to officially be open for business. I would like to thank everyone who helped make it a reality as well as those who joined us to celebrate,” said Matthew Mullen, owner of Empire Adventure Park. “As a lifelong Long Islander and entrepreneur, I had big dreams of what Empire Adventure Park would look like and offer to the community. Finding a space big enough to accommodate what I had in mind was no easy task, but I was driving by Samanea one day and knew it was the perfect location. As the newest entertainment destination on Long Island, drawing visitors for a unique and exciting time out, Samanea has already proven to be the perfect home for Empire.”
With 35,000+ square feet of event space, Empire Adventure Park features 17 attractions including: Ninja Courses, Trampolines, Climbing Walls, Laser Tag, Virtual Reality Arenas, Augmented Reality Games, Glide Rail Ziplining, an Indoor Playground for the younger jumpers and many more. Trained staff will always supervise the play areas to ensure safe active entertainment. Parents can relax in the Empire Cafe with free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and a variety of food and drink options. Adult guests can also enjoy a new, revolutionary self-service bar. Staff will check a guest’s ID, then provide a RFID card that can be used to purchase a beverage using the eight tap self-pour “bar” technology offering four beers, two wines, and two cocktails.
“This is such an exciting time for us at Samanea New York with many new venues opening their doors. Our team is proud of the work being done to revitalize this once iconic property to be a unique lifestyle destination that not only offers a variety of options to entertain, dine, and shop, but also creates jobs and economic benefits,” said Dominic Coluccio, head of real estate for Samanea New York. “We are thrilled to welcome Empire Adventure Park to Samanea’s one-of-a-kind tenant roster. It is a beautiful new, first of its kind, entertainment venue offering fun for all guests, and we look forward to a long successful partnership.”
