Karina we went for Memorial Day weekend. Although it was crappy in weather we had a good time.
There is ALOT to do for all ages.
Arcades, bowling, boating (rent them), canoeing, rafting, renting these small buggy type cars, Great Escape is in the next town over. There is an AMAZING ice cream place as soon as you pass Great Escape. They have the BEST French vanilla fraps and Vanilla ice cream cones.
There is a drive-in a little bit past the ice cream shop on the right hand side. $6 for 2 movies per person. We saw the last part of Matrix and X-Men2. We didn't know. If we did we would have gotten there earlier to see both. Ice cream shop is called Martha's something. Plan on waiting at least 20 minutes in line for your ice cream. SOOO worth it!!
You can also go hiking, camping (FH didn't want to though), walk on Canada Street (Lake george strip).
Places to Eat: Christie's on the Lake: overlooks the lake boardwalk and they have 15 cent shrimps and clams!
Siciliana Trattoria: found to be the best place for the right price.
The mexican place Garcia something is good too, so I heard.
Carl got a slice at the Giuseppe's pizzeria and was very dissatisfied with it.
We stayed at Whispering Pines cottages a block away from the strip and in the village itself. Very cabin like. Very countryish.
I would recommend.Right on the corner of Canada st. and the street off of where Whispering Pines is is Zacharys and D.J.s. Good: place to go for happy hour. They close pretty late around 4 am I think.
Forgot to add there are 2 outlets but small. These are right on Route 9 past Great Escapes or right before it. I can't remember.
Route 9 is the main road. When you are in the Village of Lake George it becomes Canada Street.
There is also a beach area towards the end of Lake George itself by Lake George State Park. Pretty big. We didn't even go since it was closed due to weather.
