This is our always our first stop - an animal sanctuary run by two perfect old lesbians who take in any animal too special for words. Open every day, you just wander the grounds with bags of feed and make furry friends. The above photo is Foonzie, the mentally disabled llama who has stolen GC's heart.
There are three of these along Canada St. (Fun World and Playland are the best), and no less than 1/3rd of our vacations are spent within. New games, seaside classics, and tickets galore. If you've never seen a bride ABSOLUTELY DOMINATE a coin pusher on her wedding day, well, you're gonna.
Do it. We promised it we would feed it.
If mini golf courses were STDs, then Lake George would be John McCool. There are tons of courses in the area, but we particularly like the two in town at Around the World (US states and International - see photo) and Goony Golf, just a few minutes up the road.
There are a ton of options nearby if you have a car - Six Flags Great Adventure, shopping outlets, fishing, Go Karts, ropes courses, Revolution Rail. Just Google it.
