We went up for the ice castles. It was a nice excuse to head up to NY for the weekend and to bundle up and walk around outside after dark, but I think it was more for kids (we don't have any). It was nice walking around but we probably wouldn't do it again. The colored lights on the ice were pretty. I know they were having issues because of the warm weather so I don't know if there were more elaborate ice sculptures/carvings that just weren't there after the melting and repairs but we were a little underwhelmed. But, we still had a nice walk around and it wasn't too crowded, but we also went at 10pm so I can imagine it getting pretty crowded during the day/earlier evening. They also didn't seem to check the time of your tickets. We stood in line so they could look up our tickets when we got to the window, and they just gave us basic instructions and you could stay as long as you like.

This was the perfect size venue for the music festival we attended! Not too big with plenty to do! Specifically, my family attended the Adirondack Independence Music festival, kids under 12 were free and we could leave and re-enter fairy easily. There was quite a wait for the bathrooms during the evening and parking was difficult. The brewery across the street charges $10 for event parking which was easy to use. There skate park for the kids is an added bonus, and on one of the nights we visited, there were fireworks on the lake, it was absolutely beautiful!

Decent spot for a concert. We were there yesterday for day 1 of Memorial Meltdown and had a great time. Only critique would be that they need more/better public water fountain options and to create some more naturally shaded areas for hot sunny days. Being a super close walk to the lakefront was also pretty sweet. I imagine if you were rocking out late it would also be cool that it's so close to town and local bars (walkable). We parked in the Fort William Henry parking lot next door for $20.

Nice natural style playground. Lots of balance items to play on with a plastic slide at the end. Good for ages 3+ on most items. They also have some drums and a xylophone style music area. It's located to the right of the field when standing at the lake looking back. Nicely hidden in the design of the park. Although it's made primarily of wood we didn't get or see splinters. Very clean playground.

Charles r wood park hosts Adirondak Independence music festival each year. The gist” The festival is super convenient with two main stages right next to each other. So it’s non stop music with very little need to walk around between sets. The grounds are immaculately clean and downtown lake George is a stones throw away. So it’s a quick walk to the beach. One of my favorite places to paint live.

Excellent unique playground! We went with a large group of kids (12) after playing mini golf. Kids were ages 2-7 and all loved this playground, very interesting especially for the 4+ crowd. It was cool how it's set up so kids can just explore and use their imagination to experience each part in many different ways. If you have kids in this age group, don't miss it!
