Not every Lake George attraction runs on a summer schedule. The businesses below stay open year-round, so there's plenty to do on a snowy January afternoon or a rainy weekend in April. These year-round Lake George activities include indoor go-karting, axe throwing, bowling, art museums, and hands-on workshops, and more.
Indoor Racing & Family Fun in Queensbury
The Fun Spot in Queensbury has been a family entertainment staple for over 30 years, with a go-kart track featuring a bridge and underpass, an 18-hole mining-themed mini golf course, laser tag, a Ninja Challenge obstacle course, a roller skating rink, and an indoor playground, all under one roof.
For a different kind of indoor racing, ADK Karting Experience inside Aviation Mall offers electric go-karting on a professionally designed track, racing simulators, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and Krazy Darts, a high-tech digital dartboard experience. An on-site restaurant and bar keeps spectators fed while they wait their turn.
Axe Throwing & Active Entertainment
Also located at Aviation Mall, Adirondack Axe & Bash It Smash Room gives visitors a chance to throw axes at a target, work off energy in a smash room, or try a splatter paint room. Private rooms are available for parties, and axe throwing leagues run for those who want to make it a regular outing.
Bowling, Indoor Golf & Arcade Games
Lake George Lanes & Games in the village combines a bowling alley with golf simulators covering more than 80 courses, an Adirondack Fort-themed laser tag arena, a full arcade, and an indoor playground with over 1,000 feet of slides and climbing structures. It's a reliable stop for birthday parties and group outings regardless of the forecast.
Museums & Local History
Glens Falls is home to two museums that stay open through the colder months. The Hyde Collection houses European and American art across five galleries inside the historic Hyde House, with pieces by artists including Rembrandt, Degas, and Picasso. Nearby, the Chapman Museum focuses on the history of Glens Falls and Queensbury, including the photography of 19th-century Adirondack photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard, inside a restored 1867 home.
Creative Workshops Year-Round
The Creative Jam, a nonprofit creative space located behind the Log Jam Restaurant in Lake George, runs a rotating schedule of hands-on workshops, from watercolor painting to macrame and stained glass, designed for beginners and experienced makers alike.
