Things to do with Kids

Rain or shine, snow or sun, Schenectady has a ton of unique and fun activities to help you keep your kids busy and create memories with your whole family! Plan your family’s visit around some of our top annual events and festivals!

The Via Aquarium is a family favorite, where sharks will swim right over your head in the shark tunnel and you can feel the skin of a live stingray at Stingray Bay.  For indoor fun, visit Via Entertainment to compete head-to-head in the arcade and bowling alley. The Empire State Aerosciences Museum offers a unique and educational stop for kids to learn about aviation history and check out some amazing old planes up close.
