The Lighthouse sits on a NY State park grounds. Within the overall park area they allow dogs on leashes. Within the specific area that you pay to enter to walk up to and into the Lighthouse itself, they restrict dogs to only those that are "service/therapy" dogs. These dogs are not allowed into the actual light house building (museum and shop).

I would suggest to bring the bike near the lighthouse but for your 11 yr old, i think he will enjoy more if you just do the hiking. There is a path on the side of the entrance. You will end up by the shore which is fabulous, then there are Boulders that forms like a stair, your family can go around towards tge back of the lighthouse property, better view for photos and you can even watch the waves. Its a family friendly place for bonding. I see a lot if couples with much younger kids 4-5. Its safe but you have to be near with your kid. Its very relaxing and adventurous place to go. I think i even enjoy it there than inside. Enjoy and good luck!
