Itinerary

Day 1

We depart aboard a deluxe motorcoach and we’re off to the races at the SARATOGA RACETRACK. It’s race time and excitement fills the air at this world-renowned Race Course. Enjoy the races from our reserved grandstand seats. Count your winnings as we head for the NEWLY RENOVATED QUEENSBURY HOTEL with spacious guestrooms. Welcome dinner this evening.

Day 2

Breakfast begins our day before departing to Lake George. Cruise aboard an authentic Sternwheel Steamboat, MINNE HA HA, for a 1 hour tour of Lake George’s stately Southern Basin. Imagine the way people traveled the lake over 100 years ago. Step back in time, as the Calliope, powered by steam from the vessel’s boiler, serenades you while you board. Enjoy beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains and see stately homes along the water’s edge. Time for lunch on own in Lake George Village before we return home with memories of our winning trip to the races!
