Check out The Wild Center in Tupper Lake; The Adirondack Scenic Railroad in Thendara; Revolution Rail Co. in North Creek; McCauley Mountain for chair lift rides and mountain biking. The Adirondack Experience in Blue Mountain Lake is definitely worth a visit as is the nearby Great Camp Sagamore. Please check the Old Forge area website for activities if you are looking for things to do. Or, just kick back, unplug and unwind. Additional plans for outings can be made once everyone is registered.
