About Albany Kid Family Travel
Albany Kid is a family travel blog 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, day trip ideas, travel tips, and the 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 find fun and educational adventures in all kinds of experiences, some more highbrow than others. 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.”
