First time

As a kid, I liked going to Great Escape. Many motels/hotels have discounted tickets. As far as restaurants go, The Lone Bull is great for breakfast, it is about 3 miles up the lake from the village. Grandma%26#39;s Back Porch is about 1 mile up from the village with lake views. Breakfast and diner are excellent and the prices won%26#39;t break the bank. Dinner comes with a trip to the soup and salad bar, and they have homemade desserts. They used to hand out bead necklaces to the kids too.

First time

Thanks so much. we are staying aweek and I just want to try to see the most popular areas that the girls would enjoy. thanks for your suggestions they are greatly appreciate.

Also, head towads Queensbury on Route 9 and drive up the top of Prospect Mountain. Definitly take a ride on the steamboats at the south ens of Lake George.

Forgot something. Head up to North Creek for a 2- 3 hour train ride through the Adirondacks. Great trip fo kids. This is the website.

Hello, my girls are 12 and 7 and we actually just got back from the Lake George area (we live less than two hours away).

The previous suggestion of Six Flags Great Escape is good - be sure to print out tickets online at their website (or buy them through the hotel you%26#39;re staying at - that actually seems to be the best deal if you don%26#39;t already have a SF season pass) or get some kind of discount coupon (online is $5 off). One day is plenty there - not a lot of thrill rides but good for a family. The waterpark will be great for that time in July.

My girls also love the Fun Spot (Rt 9 Queensbury - Great Escape is actually in Queensbury too). They have water slides outdoors (this will be the last year for them - being torn down to make room for yet another mini golf course in the Lake George area) as well as go-karts and roller skating, bouncy things, a very small arcade, and laser tag indoors. We went to Adventure Racing (similar idea) this past weekend for a Girl Scout event and it was not as good (go karts were sluggish, place was just more run down in general but the arcade was bigger, had bumper car type things, as well as a climbing wall and indoor go karts if you can actually get them to open them up for you - my daughter also didn%26#39;t like their laser tag. The guns were harder to use and some didn%26#39;t work entirely. It was bigger with two levels though). Be sure to hit the Fun Spot website (lakegeorgefun) for coupons as well.

My girls also like to go to Gooney Golf (more aimed for kids) but there is no shortage of mini golf places to choose from. The drive-in theatre is also good for a family evening (starts when it gets dark). A boat ride on the Minnehaha is good too if that%26#39;s something different for your kids - mine aren%26#39;t really interested anymore.

As for restaurants, they have all the usual chains of course. If you go on the route perpendicular to Rt 9 (at major intersection with Home Depot on one corner, the Olive Garden on another, etc) there is a little family restaurant called Jimmy%26#39;s Diner before you get to the Denny%26#39;s. They were very affordable and the food was good for the money - oh, that would be in Queensbury as well). We%26#39;ll be camping in Lake Luzerne (near Lake George) the weekend after next, so I%26#39;ll try to actually get a route # for you and see if I can think of anything else after that visit.

It%26#39;s definitely a good town for families - I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll have a great time with no shortage of things to do. Feel free to ask any more specific questions as you get closer to your trip.

You NEED to take one of the boat rides.. the Mini Ha Ha, the Ticonderoga, or one of the others!!
