- Becca K4 contributionsThis place was just so wonderful. We really enjoyed our visit and show. We will be back again soon.Written January 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cynthia FFair Lawn, NJ3,356 contributionsWorth a trip from Saratoga Springs when the roses are in bloom. They were almost all in bloom on July 4th.
Loved the shady benches.
Wish there were a closer bathroom; had to drive across the park to the ball fields to find a port-a-potty; I assume there were public restrooms near the swimming pool or BBQ area.
Wedding parties surely must come here to take photos.Written July 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They also had an area where one of the staff showed my grandkids different things that they could touch like a starfish or hermit crab, and she was very, interesting and knowledgeable about everything that she was showing us. We also got to see the stingray which my grandson loved touching! Nice gift shop at the end. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the price it was kind of expensive. But overall good experienceWritten July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pat WIthaca, NY5 contributionsWhat a nice market! Visited Memorial Day Weekend; tons of garden plants and flowers (cut and packs to plant) available. Many food choices.Written May 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lauren RWynantskill, NY439 contributionsWe do an unplugged day during the summer each week, and on one week we landed on MiSci. I've been wanting to take my children here for a few years, and we finally made time to do so.
It is pricey to get in, and to go to the planetarium show as well. For 4 of us, it costs roughly $70.
This museum is so hands on, I was impressed. So many different exhibits that the boys could try. They are younger, 11 & 8, so some of them we had to help them with, but they got the hang of it.
The planetarium show was neat, very informative, and our boys got a lot of information from it.
We spent about 2.5 hours here, and we did everything that we could. We wish it was a little bigger honestly. I wouldn't bring younger children here, unless some of their moving exhibits cater to them.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were alot of artifacts, a map room, a huge dollhouse, and some artwork. If you have a NARM card it's free, but if not, the $6 admission charge is well worth it. The lot behind the house is tiny, but it wasn't hard to find street parking. We saw this in just under an hour.Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ben BCalgary, Canada14,150 contributionsWe were catching a train in Schenectady but were early, so I had some time to explore the old town near the station. The library's core is solid 60's / 70's architecture, with a modern addition. Walking through the library you realized it offers a great service, lots of people were making use of the holdings, but it was still open and spacious. I spotted an interesting statue outside, and learned that it was of William Seward and Harriet Tubman. I didn't know that fellow who made the Alaska purchase possible (and for whom Seward Alaska is named), was a staunch Abolitionist and helped Harriet and the Underground Railway directly.

- wmetz20192 contributionsNew to doing reviews but I had to give one for these folks. Really enjoyed the musical 42nd Street.

- waterdanceMcAllen, TX556 contributionsGreat place to watch live improv. The troupe I saw was great with amazing energy. They sell consessions. One of the better improv shows that I've seen in a long time. Will come back. Hidden gem.Written June 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lori AGalway, NY681 contributionsWe go to Rivers every once in awhile to get a quick fix!! Small casino with machines and tables. Food court and a expensive restaurant. Most go there for the poker room. Once in awhile they will have a show or a special event. It is ok nothing fancy.Written August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JamesTaftSchenectady, New York84 contributionsThis place is great. Owner is a neighbor. Beer is made here. Nice variety of it too. Parking in front of the building and on side.Written February 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tricia SSchenectady, New York144 contributionsI’ve been coming here since I was a child. Nice paths, cute creek, great grassy area to spread a picnic blanket or toss the frisbee around. My dog loves it here cause of all the squirrels and bunnies hopping around. The flowers and plants are nice too. It is a garden. I like the big tree at the base of the entrance stairs and the various memorial benches and signs. Not far from the Nott Memorial, the Chapel and the statue of President Chester, either.Written August 28, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
