We also offer weekly family events, like face painting and pirate treasure hunts.
2. Play a Round of Miniature Golf
What’s more fun than mini golf? In Lake George, we are often called the Mini Golf Capital of New York State, offering several quirky and fun courses to add to your summer itinerary. Play a round with your family and navigate the sunken ships of Pirate’s Cove or the castle fortress of Goony Golf.
3. Visit Amusement Parks
The Lake George Expedition Park is not your typical amusement park. Walk through Dino Valley and discover the fascinating world of dinosaurs through hands-on activities and giant dinosaur statues. Then, visit The Forest and take a spin on the Tilt-a-Whirl together, or take a scenic train ride through the woods. Make the short drive to Queensbury and discover fun rides and attractions suitable for older kids at The Great Escape amusement park.

One of the most popular ways to experience summer in Lake George is on the water. If you’re looking to relax and take in the sights, boat rentals, tours, and lazy river tubing are excellent options. If you want something more exciting, you can spend an afternoon parasailing or jet skiing around the lake.
