The fort has really nice displays that are well lit and easy to read. They have lots of really detailed cannons on display, but they have lots of wasps. My advise is be careful when walking around near the cannon displays. There are several areas were different masons must have been hired, because of the extreme difference in color and... more

Visited Fort Ticonderoga following stops at West Point and Saratoga. Had a terrific day, enjoying all the exhibits and special events going on there. We do a lot of historical sites and felt that this was one of the best we've been to at providing depth of information as well as fun, interactive programming for the kids. I would definitely... more

When you think about the typical cost for historical sites run by the National Park Service, the asking price for the privately managed fort of $15 a person seems a little on the steep side. Still, there are benefits of the additional cost which include frequent demonstrations and talks given by staff members, often in period costume. That and the... more

Fort Ticonderoga is a must see if you are in the lake George area. The fort was destroyed and has been rebuilt. There is a museum inside that has excellent exhibits covering the original construction, history and reconstruction. There are many artifacts both outside and in the museum covering the period when the fort was in use. They do a... more

This fort funded privately. It is not a national park or monument. Much history. It has been completely rebuilt and they are continuing to fix the fort. It is picturesque off lake Champlain. We did not see any tours given when we arrived. We were there when it opened. You have to go later when school kids go for tour.... more

Love it!

We have been to the Fort 2 Summers in a row. Every time we go something different is happening. The admission price is reasonable and all proceeds go to the Fort, they have an excellent gift and snack shop. The Fort sits on the lake and the views from the top of the promenades are great. The kids love the... more

During our holiday at the Adirondacks, we took a day trip to Fort Ticonderoga. What a visit it turned out to be! We were able to participate in a marching band, see musket shootings and canon firings and go on a tour with an guide, all performed by costumed personnel. The Fort authorities have succeeded in giving visitors a authentic... more

My Dad and I love history and have visited many historical sights . Fort Ticonderoga is the best fort or site I have ever visited. I have been here 5 times and still enjoy going. First, the scenery is downright stunning, and the Fort is made of stone, not wood, and very large. Displays are numerous and excellent. Try to... more
