The first stop to exploring Albany is at the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center. There are plenty of brochures and information about the region and knowledgeable staff to answer questions. But the Visitors Center holds much more than brochures! It also offers an orientation show and exhibits that explore the history of Albany, the Gift Shop and the Henry Hudson Planetarium. Tours and special events are scheduled throughout the year.

The Albany Heritage Visitors Center shares it home with the Albany County Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACCVB) at historic Quackenbush Square at the corner of Clinton Ave. and Broadway in downtown Albany. Free parking is available in the Visitors Center parking lot adjacent to Quackenbush Sq. (off Broadway via Spencer Street).
Open Monday-Friday 9 am-4pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am-4 pm.
