if it were only that simple.

How to get here? Well it is New York, so getting
here is not a problem, with unlimited national
and international flights. Flight costs vary
greatly, but regular costs from California can
start as low as 210RT, 150RT from Chicago and
international flights into JFK are not a problem.
A quick search shows flights from London to JFK
at 650RT. These were just quick searches, Im
sure cheaper flights can be found. Car rental and
car services are available at all airports. Drive
time from LaGuardia or JFK to Atlantis Marine
World is about 1.5 hours Flights into Islip/
McArthur (30 minute drive time to AMW) tend to
more limited, but major airlines like Southwest,
Jet Blue, Continental fly into Islip. Expanded

New York City is a great place to visit and has
so much to offer, and is less then a two hour
train or car ride from Atlantis. If you extend
your visit, it is easy to find a place to stay in
Manhattan, and the LaGuardia and JFK airports are
within easy reach.
