Outdoor Adventures

Albany offers four seasons of recreational activities and beautiful parks and gardens. 

Explore the landscape. Hit the Hudson River aboard Dutch Apple Cruises, zip through the wilderness at Mountain Ridge Adventure, hike the trails at the Albany Pine Bush, or kayak at Thompson Lake State Park.

Expand your horizons. Soar above the city with M&R Helicopters, or go deep underground at Howe Caverns. 

Experience the thrill of a live sporting event. We've got baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and more. See why they call Albany a Tournament Town!
