I recently went here with my husband and a friend to play foot gold, mini-golf and enjoy ice cream…read more Foot golf is played with a soccer ball on greens that aren't super manicured but have been landscaped a little bit. The greens seemed to be around 75-90 yards. You kick a soccer ball to a large hole with a flag with as few kicks as possible. There was a total of 9 holes. The holes were up and down hills, across a field and across a water feature. There was a little shade along hedgerows but most of the course is in the sun. One hole offered a bench to sit down at but the rest is walking or running to kick your soccer ball. There isn't any dribbling involved really. At first our friend wondered why there weren't 18 holes but we soon realized that 9 holes was plenty with the hot sun and length of each hole. Afterwards we bought some water from the concession and played mini-golf. My husband and I have played this course various times when we still lived in Clifton Park. It was my favorite place to play because the greens are normally clean and well kept, also there isn't a ton of shade so there are less mosquitos. I like their water features but it seems like they're frequently if not always under renovation. At the end when we turned in our putters there was a little pachinko slot for our golf balls where you could win a free small ice cream, a free game of mini-golf or foot golf or a free game of foot-golf. We noticed that it was setup so that there were no losing spots. Everyone's a winner I guess :) After 18 holes of mini-golf you can sit inside or out and enjoy some Perry's ice cream. I grew up in western NY and so I'm a big fan of Perry's ice cream which is NYS made. Some of my family is even from Perry, NY although that's not where the ice cream is made exactly. Regardless, they have a wide variety of hard ice cream flavors. I ordered a kids/small (they're the same thing at this place) and it came with 2 scoops. The Brownie Blitz and Pistachio were both delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun family outing or a date night. Tip- you can play minigolf and foot golf for $13 a slightly discounted rate. Also, there were signs advertising couples mini golf for $18 on Thurs.

We went to Dan's last night with a friend after a long hot day, thinking we would just grab some…read moreice cream and hang out. We typically go up to Rob and Deb's in Glens Falls but Dan's is closer. What a disappointment. I'm not sure if it was Dan that served us or he had just found the most miserable, rude " I don't want to be here." staff member out there, because that is what we got. He was sullen, snippy, rude and actually seemed like he resented us being there. Huge turn off. We ordered 3 small ice creams, and they were indeed small! Definitely not reflective of the price, which was more indicative of a larger size. I was disappointed, but the snippy service we had received prior to actually getting the ice cream left a yucky taste anyway. We will not be going back, and will instead continue to drive to an alternative. Maybe Guptil's, which is also nearby. These days, with so many other options, service and being polite to people is key. An older couple arrived shortly after us and he was equally rude to them. The one star is because we did actually get ice cream. I'd give zero stars for service.

This is a throwback golfcourse, with every last bit of it truly hand-made, right down to the…read moregolfball water retrieval tool crafted out of an old kitchen spoon. Many of the holes show a recent sprucing up, although about half still have threadbare turf and are missing "schticks", it still has the feel of a place where an owner cares about how things look. The holes are a mixture of nyeah to moderately interesting. The two that standout are #14, where you have to launch over a fountain, which is fun but the engineering of the ramp wasn't done nicely enough to allow a true skill shot; and #17, a deviously simple-seeming rotating hole (yes, the cup is not in the same spot, it spins around). No Insane Clown hole, which I consider a plus,and one of the better windmills I've seen. I do find it a bit annoying that dead-on shots for trick holes where the "feeder hole" should lead to a hole in one are misaligned; this was the case on two holes, and the 18th hole had a lip to it that made launching into the hole-in-one zone a bit of an adventure. All in all in terms of fun factor and playability it's only slightly above average, but the real grass in place of concrete paths and generally homey feel about the place lead me to give it a fourth star on warm-and-fuzzies. We've been to other courses in the area (we're in the midst of a comprehensive review of every mini-golf in an hour's driving distance of Lock 7) and so far this is the only one we wanted to play again right away, and the only one where they'd obviously bothered to sweep the leaf and grass debris off prior to opening. The large caboose that serves as the snack bar will attract the kids, but unfortunately since the inside is the food prep area, they will in turn be disappointed that they can't go inside it. We did enjoy some soft-serv icecream, but I have to give them downgrades for not knowing how to do a proper dip. Why does nobody know how to do a swirl dip anymore? Is it a lost art?

What a fantastic golf course! My friend and I have tried just about every mini golf course within…read more90 minutes of Albany and this is one of the best. The greens are kept in perfect shape with no ruffled turf, loose bricks, piles of leaves, etc. The (very blue) waterfall was working and added ambiance. Scattered throughout the course are interesting pirate vignettes and facts, and the caves and bridges added to the experience. The course itself is a bit different from most others. Many courses add artificial challenges (sand bunkers, gravel areas, missing sidewalls near water, windmills, etc.) to make it difficult. Here, every hole is straightforward. And most of them are short. Therefore, it is best to approach it as each hole could (should?) be doable as a hole-in-one. And I got two, my friend got another two, and everyone around us was getting them. Does that mean the course is too easy? No, not at all. But, it isn't a course where you should be taking more than 2-3 putts to get it in the cup. There are no dogleg holes, etc. which add length. Some of the holes have fun twists. I won't give away the surprises, but there were several areas that led to good (and bad!) unexpected results. Play it out and you will see what I mean. The staff were friendly, and they had at least six different sized putters making it possible to get the perfect fit. The prices ($13) were certainly reasonable and comparable to other courses. It was packed on Saturday on a holiday weekend, but because the holes are so short everything kept on flowing nicely. Overall, a wonderful course.

This is already my fourth visit here this season, and I've been coming to Control Tower Ice Cream for years. It never disappoints. They have a huge variety of both soft serve and hard ice cream flavors, along with a ton of sundae options. Portion sizes are very generous too, both for sundaes and cones. Today I had the Chocolate Overload Sundae with Moose Tracks ice cream. It came with delicious hot fudge, little peanut butter cup pieces in the ice cream, Oreo crumbles, whipped cream, sprinkles, a cherry, and even a fun size Hershey bar on top. So good. While I was there the people in line in front of me got slushes that looked very much like bomb pop flavors. I bet there's awesome! Almost changed my choice but I stuck with my original sundae choice. I've also had their brownie sundae in the past, and that was excellent too. Trust me when I say a regular size is already pretty large. The large is enormous. This is probably my favorite ice cream place in the area, with Kurver Kreme right behind it. Another thing I really like is how quickly they move people through. Even when there's a line, I've never had to wait very long to order or get my ice cream. They also have go-karts and batting cages, which makes it a fun place overall. The go-karts aren't open until May 16th, but it's nice having those attractions there. 5 stars.

Many of the attractions were not open (bumper cars, indoor go-karts, kids inflatable play area), and those that were tended to be underwhelming. The go-karts were fun, and the rides were generously long, but that may have had to do with the lack of crowd size despite the beautiful weather. The go-karts themselves were wildly different in top speeds, and your success on the track was based entirely on the kart you were assigned vs. any actual ability or strategy. No big deal for us, but there was, shall we say, a slightly more competitive family who were extremely annoyed by this, and were letting everyone in earshot know about it. Most of the arcade games were older and not in the greatest condition, with a few exceptions. What was oddest of all was that I found a roll of 5,000 prize tickets just sitting on top of a closed air hockey table completely unattended. I brought them back to an employee at the concession stand and there wasn't even a thank you offered. If it happens again, maybe I'll just the 5' Angry Bird. They also wouldn't honor the Yelp Check-in offer for a free game of Laser Tag. All in all, this place has seen some better days, and both boys enjoyed playing mini-golf at the place across the parking lot far more than they did playing at Adventure Family Fun Center, but you could certainly do worse if you're looking to kill a few hours with the kids.
