10 Things to do Good for Couples in Lake George That You Shouldn't Miss
When people find a great vacation getaway, they keep coming back. This 32-mile-long "Queen of American Lakes" is chock-full of lodging, attractions, eateries and just about any form of recreation you can name. A significant player in American history, Lake George is the site of two great forts, Fort William Henry and Fort Ticonderoga, both open to the public. Before plunging into the myriad activities in this family-friendly town, start off with a relaxing lake cruise to learn about the area. Then, take your pick of recreation: parasailing, fishing, diving, jet skiing, hiking, golfing, minigolf, horseback riding and more. If you've got kids in tow, you can't get away without visiting the Great Escape and Splashwater Kingdom, New York's largest amusement park. Hikers gravitate to the international trail system or Prospect Mountain, which offers panoramic views from the top; for an easier way up, hop on the tram. Among the cleanest and clearest of major U.S. lakes, Lake George is as splendid today as when Thomas Jefferson described it as "...without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw."

VERY reasonably priced. About an hour, start to finish. Jim was a great instructor, telling fabulous Dad jokes! He had the big pieces, which needed to be cut, or ones he had cut already which you just scoop up. He explained that he started offering those for his group of special adults. It makes things more accessible for them. This would also help smaller children. He was a really great guy, and a fantastic family activity, even with two teenagers! There was even an area set up for "fancy" pictures! There was a scent called monkey fart!

Stopped in and tried the tasting deal of 3 liquors for 5 dollars and you keep the shot glass! As a bourbon man, I tried the two bourbon offerings and the rye. All were excellent and distinctive. The others I was with tried other offerings (cinnamon whisky and moonshine) and other than the smoke one, enjoyed them all. All varieties are there for purchase at under $30 a bottle. If you want to sample several different liquors, this is your place!

My wife and I walked around Lake George today and saw this escape room. We decided to go in and do the horror themed room, “What Happened in Raven Woods?”. We had never done an escape room before and weren’t really sure what to expect. It was just the two of us being guided by “GameMaster” Blake. Blake was awesome and knew exactly when we needed hints. The girl checking us in told us it was only Blake’s second time doing this escape room, but you would never know it. The room we chose was horror themed and the lights were out. Our first task was to find a flashlight located in the first room. My wife didn’t want to do an escape room at first (she thought it was way too expensive being $100 for the both of us), but it’s been on my bucket list for awhile. We both loved the experience and will probably do it again next time with a group of friends. We made it out with 8 seconds to spare (we got a little extra time because our walkie talkie stopped working so they paused the clock while they fixed it). Overall it was a great time and I highly recommend for families and couples.
