Family fun

Get ready for one of the most spectacular displays of the season. The Saratoga Giant Pumpkinfest is happening this weekend with a ton of gourds from all over the Northeast.

Get ready for scary fun and celebrate the Halloween season in style at this Upstate New York Fairground this fall.

If you are looking for a thrilling ride this spring and summer how about riding the longest mountain coaster in, not only the United States but in all of North America?

About six months ago, in an effort to bring family game nights back, it was announced that a "Board Game Tavern" would be opening in the Capital Region. It has finally opened and is ready for you and your family to come play.

If you are looking for a thrill ride this winter then you are going to want to head to Lake Placid and do some serious sledding. It's just two-and-a-half hours from the Capital Region to the Toboggan Chute, the longest in New York state!

Another option for entertainment for the whole family is coming to Albany. Urban Air Adventure Park is the largest indoor adventure park in the world. The plan is to open one in Albany at the end of February.

There is a fun way to get into the fall spirit for the whole family this weekend in Saratoga. It's the 8th Annual Giant Pumpkinfest. It highlights agriculture and the largest pumpkins you've ever seen!

Growing up in the Capital Region in the 1980s, it was fun to travel up the Northway and spend the day at The Great Escape Amusement Park (formerly Storytown). We couldn't wait to get there and travel through Ghost Town and become a deputy with Marshal Wild Windy Bill McKay. But one of the highlights of the day was the death-defying high dive act.

Having grown up in the city of Mechanicville and now living there with my family, Family Day in Talmadge Park was always a big deal. Although the past two years the day-long event had to be canceled because of COVID-19, it's making a strong return this year.

Grab your popcorn and the entire family and head to downtown Albany for a free Marvel movie series.

A North Creek adventure excursion company is bringing new life to a historic stretch of rail in the Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Winter is here and there is nothing more fun, in my opinion than finding the biggest hill and going sledding on. You can get some serious sledding in just two-and-a-half hours from the Capital Region at the Lake Placid Toboggan Chute.

Its all about the Family this Friday for Spring Break Family Awareness Day. This is a family fun-filled day with food and educational ideas that are dedicated to the Family. This will also be an opportunity for less fortunate families to get free donations of hygiene products we know that these products often place a financial strain on less fortunate families...

We're only one day shy of the weekend, and there's lots to do- from family-friendly events to scary Halloween fun. Take a look at some of the cool places to be and things to do this weekend in the Capital District. 1.) Tru-Terror attraction is now open and ready for family and friends to visit...
