Awesome 1 room theater in downtown next to other local shops. Be sure to check out what is playing. Current films back to classics play at this theater along with real food and drinks that can be eaten in the theater. These folks are truly trying to create community with this business. It’s always positive and a great time! (Also movies are cheaper!)

Tipps für Reisende
Mit Kindern reisen
Albany Carousel
Albany carousel is a community project over 15yrs in the making. It is easily the best thing to do with kids in Albany. $2/ride. Open everyday 11-5pm.
Verkehrsmittel
Poor public transport
There isn’t much for getting around. However getting to and from is easy with I-5 coming close by along with Amtrak and bolt buses.

Art and air festival every august.
This is the greatest event Albany offers (in our opinion). Make sure to go to at least one balloon launch early in the morning. You will not regret it! Around 40 balloons filling and launching and the best is you can walk amongst it all!
