Adirondack Museum 5.0 (reviews)

Kids - have you ever known a museum to feature 121 acres of outdoor adventure, with 40,000 sq ft of exhibitions spanning 24 buildings? That seems like a lot of learning fun - and that's because it is!

The Adirondack Museum is located in the incredible view of the iconic Blue Mountain, and can teach you all about the Adirondacks and the people who lived there. There are an incredible range of topics to explore, from boating to logging, and plenty of space for kids to play and get active too!

Other exhibitions within the Adirondack Museum explore the outdoor recreation popular with the people of the region in the 1800s, as well as transportation history, and even fine arts where kids might be inspired to get creative themselves!

You can learn about how tourism is important to the region, and what life is really like in the community.

There are permanent exhibitions at the museum so you can keep going back to your favorites, and some of them are interactive too! Kids can "cook" a meal over a campfire, or spend some time "napping" in a tent. You can even use snowshoes, or try rock climbing!

If you ever wondered what life in a one room log cabin in the 1900s would have been like, the museum is the perfect place to find out! You can really feel what the atmosphere would have been like, and a great insight into how other people lived!

The museum also have temporary exhibitions where you can learn about different topics such as birds in the region, and local artists!

The Adirondack Museum isn't all exhibitions though. There are fun events throughout the year, from special events to music, that can give you that bit more fun into your family day out!

After your visit, there is the whole region of the Adirondacks to explore, which will be the perfect end to this museum-filled day!
