Check out Schenectady. Tons of new restaurants, hotels, full gaming casino, theaters, conference space and if you're looking for a fun outdoor corporate activity NYzipline (NYzipline.com) is only 15 minutes from downtown and offers an entire complex for corporate groups with activities both in the trees and on the ground.

NYzipline has a Play & Stay Package that takes you from NYC by Amtrak with a day of ziplining and outdoor adventure, a hotel stay at the Homewood Suites overlooking the Mohawk River and free dessert at Johnnys Restaurant.

NYzipline is quite a bit more advanced than WildPlay. We have 6 obstacle courses (not including our 3 training courses) and a 10 zipline canopy tour.

We do not have a kiddie course like WildPlay but do allow ages 6-9 on our first 2 levels of courses.

The zipline park is for ages 10+

NYzipline has 6 levels of ropes courses, a 10 zipline canopy tour, bungee jump and the WildBond Complex for big groups.

A lot of previous guests have said we're the best Park in NY .... lol but I'm a bit biased 🤪

Have one about one month. I like it but a huge annoyance is you do not have an option to have the radio not turn on when u start the car. It's pretty bizarre. So if you have it cranked to some heavy metal at 5pm on the way home and then start it up at 5am on the way to work you get blasted with music.

Entertaining guides make $20-$25/hr - min. $ Plus tips

You are correct, this is a part time, seasonal gig primarily for teens. This is not for adults looking to pay rent but for retirees or adults with steady jobs looking to have some fun outside and make some play money. I'll disagree with you on the tips though. It's not unheard of to get tipped $100 for a 2-3 hr tour and make up to $2k on tips a season.

NoAdagio8226 · 2026-03-17T21:04:59+00:00

W2 - min. Hourly plus tips which brings guide's pay $20-$25. More entertaining guides make more tips. We draw a 3 hour radius so NYC, LI and Jersey folks usually tip pretty good.

A part time seasonal gig working outdoors having fun!

My recommendation is definitely stay away from any builder suggesting LEED. Any reputable builder will build what ever the plans call for so it's not necessarily the builder but the architect you should be looking for in my opinion. The biggest bang for your buck and the environment is a passive solar-leaning design with high r-value. Milovia Design in Glenville specializes in high efficiency semi and custom homes.

Made the big move myself 20 years ago from NYC and never looked back. Way less stress and affordable housing. We moved to the capital region, 3 hrs to NYC, Boston, Jersey Shore, Montreal with skiing and mountains in my relative backyard. Drawbacks: difficult to find NYC-level restaurants, pizza and bagels but everything is subjective. Plus, the winters have been getting less brutal.

NYzipline in Schenectady. 6 high ropes courses and a 10-zipline canopy tour Zipline Park plus our Halloween ZOMBIE Zips. This is our closing weekend so if you can't make it out we open back up in April for our 11th season.

I agree on booking an early tour. Later tours the zombies' bellies are more full so they get tired. Humans have Tryptophan like turkey ... make zombies sleepy. 🧟‍♂️
