About Albany Kid Family Travel

Albany Kid is a family travel site for curious minds, giving hearts, and adventurous spirits.

Based in Northeast New York, Albany Kid articles are written by real moms and dads who are passionate about local and global travel. We share fun things to do with kids, staycation ideas, day trips, family travel tips, and best family vacations.

While our mission is to inspire lifelong learners to travel the world, our motto – Adventures Abound At Home & Abroad – drives the family travel blog’s content.  Discover New York with kids and family travel across America and around the world. We will show you fun and educational adventures in all kinds of experiences, some more highbrow than others. If nothing else, our travels are full of creative, often unexpected, twists and turns that make the undertaking that much more memorable.

As the renowned Greek poet C.P. Cavafy expressed in Ithaka, a poem inspired by the Odyssey, we “hope the voyage is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery.”
