Multi-generational vacations – in which parents, children and grandparents travel together – have become increasingly popular, and the Lake George Region is one of the top destinations for multi-gen families due to its unique blend of relaxing, accessible activities for older adults and active adventures for kids.
If you’re planning a multi-generational family vacation in Lake George, these group activities and lodging recommendations from the hospitality team at Northern Living will help you create family memories that will last a lifetime.
Lake George Group Activities for All Ages
The secret to a successful multi-generational family vacation in Lake George is selecting activities that allow everyone to participate at their own comfort level.
- Steamboat Cruises – Book a sightseeing cruise or lunch, brunch or dinner cruise with the Lake George Steamboat Company. Seniors can enjoy the climate-controlled indoor decks and sweeping mountain views, while toddlers and children will love the live music and themed cruises aboard the Minne-Ha-Ha.
- Miniature Golf – Challenge each other to a classic game of mini golf, offering the perfect blend of low-impact activity and an unhurried pace for family bonding. You’ll find more than a half-dozen mini golf courses in the Lake George Region, including the first wheelchair accessible course in nearby Lake Luzerne.
- Parks & Beaches – Enjoy sandy shorelines and designated swimming areas with shallow waters and lifeguards on duty at several beaches on Lake George, including Million Dollar Beach, Usher Park Beach and Shepard Park Beach in Lake George, and Veteran’s Memorial Park Beach and Rogers Memorial Park Beach in Bolton Landing.
- Pontoon Boat Rentals – Rent a pontoon boat from a local marina and spend the day on the water. The wide, flat deck, safety railings and plush seating allow seniors and young children to move around without feeling cramped or unsteady, and make it easy for older kids and adults to go swimming and tubing.
- Nostalgic Family Fun – Bring your children and grandchildren back to the same spots you remember from childhood vacations. From the arcades on Canada Street to Great Escape Amusement Park to the fireworks displays and live music in Shepard Park, Lake George provides a variety of classic vacation experiences for all ages.
