Fun stuff in the area

These are a few of our favorite things…

  • Hiking, amazing views, and geological history at Thacher State Park
  • The New York State Museum in downtown Albany is very good and has free admission!
  • The Egg at the Empire State Plaza is arguable the coolest concert hall you’ll ever find.
  • Lark Street is Albany’s arts and entertainment hub.
  • Washington Park is Albany’s Olmsted-designed “Central Park”, great for strolling. It’s possible you’ll catch some blooms leftover from the Albany Tulip Festival
  • Nearby city of Troy has a vibrant historic downtown
  • You’re really into navigable waterways, right? Good! Check out the famous Waterford Flight of Locks at the eastern terminus of the Erie Canal. The greatest vertical lift in the shortest distance of any canal system in the world!
    • Check out Upstate Kayak Rentals for a one-way rental so you can actually paddle the flight of locks yourself! (We did it, and it was awesome)
  • Farmers markets on Saturday morning:
  • Good beer in the area:
