Visitor tip
Don't miss the vintage shooting gallery in the back of the arcade - it's a unique 30+ year old attraction with laser targets that's rare to find and worth experiencing, even if you're primarily interested in modern games.
Visitor tip
Kids particularly enjoy the physical ticket system (not card-based) where they can collect and redeem actual tickets for prizes - this tactile experience is a highlight that sets Playland apart from modern card-based arcades.
Best time
Visit Playland as an evening activity when in Lake George - it's conveniently located downtown and makes an ideal way to close out your day with family-friendly entertainment and the friendly, helpful staff.
