I had such a great time visiting the New York State Museum in Albany. There is something for everyone to experience on site. I was there when they had the pop up Barbie exhibit which was neat to see. I also enjoyed learning about New York City, the Adirondacks and of course, the Hudson Valley too. 

The New York State Museum has a carousel to ride on as well in addition to places to get something to eat and a gift shop. There’s a new exhibit that we can also explore at this museum this year.
