The 9 Best Fun Activities & Games in Saratoga Springs, New York (NY)
Saratoga Springs is one of those special getaway spots where everything is just, well, pretty close to perfect. The city's lovely tree-lined streets and grand old Victorians, porch swings swaying and gardens brimming with colorful flora bring to mind a gentler era. World-class horse racing, renowned performing arts and natural springs spas, plus 13 golf courses, 10 museums, a historic battlefield, fabulous boutiques, antiques and restaurants mean there is something for everyone. Relax at the Lincoln Mineral Baths, window shop in town and then it's off to the races. Walk everywhere, it's that kind of place. One of the oldest tourist destinations in the United States, Saratoga offers ample accommodation choices in elegant hotels, historic bed and breakfasts or comfortable inns. The only drawback is you may never want to leave.

Me, my wife and her mother had such a good time. We were there about 2 hours and the time flew by. Highly recommended for a fun time.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,810 reviews
This famed 350-acre racetrack features thoroughbred horseracing during its six-week season from late July through early September. Though one of the sport's premier events, the races often take second place to people-watching.

The best horses, trainers and owners are at Saratoga every summer for 40 days of fantastic horse racing. I have attended many times and will return many more times. The NYRA does a great job with this meet and the history dating back to 1863 is incredible. If you haven’t been there you must add it to your bucket list.

We had a really good time and we are not gamblers, but had to throw 2 bucks in the slots came out with $17 so that was fun. Went with other peoples advice and avoided the breakfast buffet. ( go to mrs London's it is amazing ) Our room ( which was really beautiful and comfy very big ) was a standard king that overlooked the track. Was cheaper on the hotel website that the "discount sites " . We noticed they were exercising the horses in the AM so we took a walk out to the track ( you can stand on the rail ) and watched for a while . I wasn't sure what we were going to do while there ( in Saratoga ) as it was sort of a back up plan from what we really wanted to do that got washed out by bad weather, but it was just wonderful the whole place the hotel was the icing on the cake. Lots to do there. Dinner at Old Bryant in is great that we knew as it is a favorite of ours when we pass through town , and you must walk around the park and check out all the springs, be warned they taste AWFUL !!!!!! But do not take my word for it try it yourself you have to !!!!!

A great place to take in the latest movies. Comfy, stadium seating and awesome surround sound. A good rewards program. Always friendly staff. The only thing I do not care for is the assigned seating feature. Love the self-serve station to add as much butter as I'd like and love the free refills on large popcorns and drinks. Reduced prices on Tuesdays and matinee pricing, children pricing and senior pricing. Handicap accessible; not just aisles but seating too.
