Saratoga Springs is a laid back college town well known for horse-racing, the performing arts, and the nearby springs. The RRoosevelt Baths and Spa at Saratoga Spa State Park is the only place where you can still take in the springs.

The state park also includes golf courses, a large swimming pool, trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, ice rinks, picnic areas, and the well-known Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Visit from July to September and take in a horse race at the country’s oldest thoroughbred track - the Saratoga Race Course. The downtown features restaurants and local shops to explore after a day soaking in the baths or cheering on your favorite horse.
