New York’s capitol city may be small, but Albany is not without its points of interest. Take for example the Empire State Plaza, home of “the Egg”, the plaza’s life performance theater where visitors can see theater or dance. The New York State museum has many interesting exhibits concerning the region’s political, cultural and natural history. The Albany Institute of History & Art has some excellent paintings by artists from the Hudson River School, like Thomas Cole and Asher Durand.

Outdoor adventurers may find the Albany Pine Bush Preserve intriguing. These 3,010 acres of preserved sand plain, with its thick scrub, wild flowers, prairie grass and pitch pine, are part of a rare inland pine barren ecosystem. The Preserve is home to 20 rare or endangered species of flora and fauna, including the Hognosed Snake, the Spadefoot Toad and wild Blue Lupines, flowers critical to the survival of the federally endangered Karner Blue Butterfly. Hiking and hunting are permitted in the Preserve, providing proper procedures are observed.

Other outdoor adventures are within easy traveling distance from Albany. Skiing, snowmobile riding and snowboarding are only a few of the activities available to guests of Windham Mountain Resort. Hunter Mountain also has ski slopes, and offer opportunities for mountain biking and fly-fishing in the warmer months. Campers should look into the sites available at the New York Department of Conservation’s Campgrounds, fun family sites with plenty of educational programs for the curious. Cyclists will be sure to enjoy the Hudson-Mohawk Loop, which follows those two rivers along a 41-mile path connecting Albany, Schenectady and Troy.

If you're looking to take a different kind of family vacation, why not try Albany, Capital Region of upstate New York. It's a great place full of side trips, history, shopping and more, all within a radius of about 50 miles.

Downtown Albany
When you're in Albany itself, you'll notice that it's a great mix of old and new city values. Downtown Albany is what you'd typically think of as the “city”, here is where the Capitol building of New York state is located (on Washington Avenue) as well as many of the state's offices and branches of the federal offices as well.

New York State Museum
Also located in this area is the New York State Museum (on Madison Avenue, a few blocks away from the Capitol). This museum is a great showcase of New York, with exhibits on local wildlife and nature as well as historical exhibits of both New York City and New York state. The museum alone is worth the trip into downtown Albany, and the best part is that the New York State Museum has no admission fee! (Donations are accepted.)

Empire State Plaza
Connected to the New York State Museum by the Grand Concourse is the Empire State Plaza, which houses many state offices as well as shops and the Egg, an arena where events like concerts and other performing arts are staged. Also in this area is the Pepsi Arena (North Pearl Street) where some of the biggest concerts and sporting events in upstate New York are held. The Capital Region, however, doesn't end in Albany.

Saratoga Springs
If you travel about 30 miles north of Albany via I-87, you'll reach Saratoga Springs. This area is a famous spot for horse racing, as well as history. The Saratoga Raceway is located in Saratoga Springs, and you can see horse races from the end of July to the beginning of September. Races take place everyday except Tuesday, and admission is only $2!

It's a great way to spend a day, watching the beautiful horses, and there's no need to gamble while you're there! Just enjoy watching the action.

In downtown Saratoga Springs, there are many quaint little shops and restaurants that will help you pass the time. The types of items sold in these shops range from simple souvenirs to expensive antiques, and there will be sure to be something to fit everyone's taste here. You can also go to the Saratoga Spa State Park, located just outside of town.

This huge state park contains some of the old buildings and spa retreats that made Saratoga Springs famous as a town where you could go to restore your health. You can even go around the park and sample some of the mineral waters that naturally occur here, and maybe go for a dip in one of the mineral baths located within the Gideon Putnam resort, which is inside the park.

Howe Caverns
If you prefer to have a one of a kind experience underground, venture west from Albany NY to Howe Caverns, located in Howes Cave, New York. This trip is about 40 miles from Albany, and it's worth the drive. Howe Caverns are a great family side trip, as you get to descend into the caves and explore (with a guide) the various formations and bodies of water that are located here, 156 feet below the surface of the Earth.

These caves are 10 million years old, and you'll be certain to have fun here year round, imagining the events that took place down here before civilization began!

These are just a few of the spots located around Albany that you can visit while you stay here. There are so many more to discover, so get in your car and come to upstate New York. You'll definitely have a trip you'll never forget, and you'll also discover an area you'll want to revisit again and again. Rent a limo in Albany (NY)!
