There are 2 rinks - one is Olympic; the other is NHL-sized…read more Weibel is the larger rink on the left (when standing in the parking lot looking at both buildings). There's a snack shop, a few arcade games, some tables, benches and a skate rental area. Locker rooms are spacious and not terrible. Bathrooms are usually pretty clean. There's a separate area with a Boxing gym that has odd hours; I haven't been able to crack the code on that particular business...but the Boxing club is attached to the Weibel building. Vernon - the smaller rink on the right - is more bare bones. There are bleacher seats for spectators, four locker rooms and a couple of public bathrooms. The locker rooms in Vernon are smaller...but again...not awful. Showers in the locker rooms vary in Vernon. Sometimes there's hot water and decent pressure....sometimes not. The ice depends on the day and the zamboni driver. At the beginning of the season, the ice is amazing. This past weekend, it had lots of rivets and ponds. But compared to other rinks in the region, it's still a nice facility. They have open skate, stick and puck along with lots of local teams practicing and competing. There's plenty of parking and the rinks are conveniently located right between the big box stores of Wilton and downtown Saratoga Springs.

They do things differently there…read more If you happen to be in this very busy part of central Albany, perhaps getting an amazing Gyro from My Gyro Station, or a Falafel/Shawarma Pita sandwich from Mamoun's, you will instantly notice the massive, dominant, haunting, imposing structure across the street, just the way you see it in the rainy picture I posted. The Armory, for me, is the most spectacular sight in Albany. Partly because of the way it looks and dominates the area with its sheer size, but partly because it's in an area full of shops and people and traffic, and really stands out from all the typical downtown hustle and bustle, rather than being tucked away somewhere. It's right on a major intersection. It give Albany a lot of character and is well worth checking out. Definitely a 5-star attraction. And if you fall in love with a French girl here (probably from Montreal), then that's very Amoury.

My wife and I came here as part of a work outing to see a Valley Cats game and we had a great time…read more As baseball stadiums go, this place is pretty nice. Parking is convenient and there is no cover charge. The stadium doesn't hold many seats (capacity is posted as 4,500) which means that they only have one main level of seats and a couple of "boxes" above. Every seat is pretty good, and you feel as if you are in on the action. Some games don't sell out (well, most games) so after a while you could probably find yourself in a front row seat... The concession stands sell lots of fun things and the prices seem reasonable. Sadly, I smelled fried dough and imagined it was here but couldn't find the vendor selling it. It was on the sign on the wall as being available. Oh, the agony of being so close... yet so far. The team mascot, "Southpaw," did his best to entertain the crowd. He spent over an inning in our section alone taking pictures and picking on the Yankees fans, which are both admirable endeavors in my book. They had the usual minor-league hijinks between innings that are goofy to watch, are impossible to hear over the loud speaker, and almost always have some winner. In short, for a minor league game on a budget and on a nice evening, it is hard to beat this place.

My wife was part of a group that rented out a pavilion in this park recently. Of note, the parking…read moresituation is a bit unusual so follow the signs (which take precedence over common sense). There were two pavilions in the area and we had the one on the right, but the one on the left was being used by two different groups of people celebrating two different events. I don't know if either or both rented it, or if both showed up at the same time, but it looked like an awkward situation. The pavilion we rented had at least one electrical outlet good for a crock pot or stereo, but don't think there were many more. Next to it was a small barbecue grill that was about 18x24". It was big enough for a family gathering, but it couldn't possibly hold enough food for a crowded pavilion unless they were all eating hot dogs. We tried, and only got about 16 burgers on it at a time. A large garbage can with a bag liner was inside at the corner, but we were told that it was NOT for use by people who rent the pavilion (rental is carry in-carry out) but instead was for use by those who don't rent the pavilion. That must be a mistake as nobody would have such a stupid policy. Nearby was a nice kids playground, and all around us and mixed through the trees was a disc golf course. I should have brought my old Frisbee from college. I was told a creek also ran in the area. Bathrooms were within sight but I never ventured near them. All told, a decent place to rent.
