Things To Do In And Around Watkins Glen
Watkins Glen State Park
I’m going to start off saying normally the Gorge is open from May to late October depending on weather. If we get another nice November like the one we had in 2020 it might be open a little longer. The Gorge is is a classic place to go in Watkins Glen and is very beautiful.
Smok'n Bones BBQ & Brews
We went here on our first date as our save the dates said, so I’m putting that on here for anyone that wants to see where our first date was. Also the food is pretty good.
Seneca Lake Wine Trail
Another classic thing to do in Watkins Glen is the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. There are so many wineries around Watkins Glen so if you are a fan of wine I highly recommend this. Also to note there are a lot of breweries around so if you aren't a fan of wine look into the breweries.
Corning Museum of Glass
If you are a fan of glass then Corning Museum of Glass is a good place to go to. There’s a lot of history there and there are even shows you can watch to see the process of blowing glass.
Scuteri's Cannoli Connection
If you want really good pizza or cannolis this is the place to go. They only make pizza on Fridays and Saturdays and you have to call to order but it’s the best pizza in town according to my family and I. For the rest of the week they make great desserts so if you want to try those I recommend them too.
Babcha's Pierogies
A great place to get great Polish food is Babcha’s. You’ll have to check hours they are open, normally it is 4pm-8pm during the week and then on the weekends from 1pm-8pm, she isn’t open Sunday-Tuesday. She hand makes all the pierogies, usually she gets up at 4am to start the process of making everything for the restaurant. Some things she makes you have to call the night before to order because it takes her longer to make.
Watkins Glen International
Watkins Glen International is one of our main attractions during the summer. A lot of NASCAR fans know of this race track. Most likely this will be closed but you can always drive past the track.
