Choose between the following options: • For $5, you get admission for two (a $10 value). • For $39, you get one family membership for two adults and all dependent children under 18 (an $80 value). Named one of the top 20 science centers by Parents magazine, CMOST hosts a spectrum of interactive exhibits and inspires young minds to explore and embrace the wonders of science and technology. Visitors can rouse their curiosities at one of the hands-on sets such as Operation WILD: Working in the Living Domain , a living collection of exotic animals that represents species in their natural habitats and shows museum-goers how to growl in 17 languages. The 75-foot-long Living Indoor Hudson River exhibit is an interactive tour of the historical tidal-river environment from the Adirondacks to the Atlantic Ocean and includes pit stops at the butterfly and half-mile hiking trail. Like billboards advertising the Andromeda galaxy, CMOST also dazzles patrons with a host of optical illusions in the Light, Optics & Vision exhibit.

River Sports Adventures from Beaver Brook Outfitters in Glens Falls. Three Options Available.
Traversing a river demonstrates yet another way humans have mastered our surroundings, much like flying an airplane or swimming through peanut butter. Assert your might with today’s Groupon to Beaver Brook Outfitters in Glens Falls. Choose from the following options: • For $13, you get a single kayak rental and return shuttle (a $25 value). • For $18, you get a Lazy River Tubing Adventure for two (up to a $36 value). • For $79, you get a whitewater rafting adventure for two on the Hudson River (up to a $160 value). Beaver Brook Outfitters opens the window to the great outdoors by leading expeditions and adventures in the heart of the beautiful Adirondacks. Explore the scenic Upper Hudson River with a single kayak rental , which plants paddlers on a private launching point before they float from Thurman Station to 1000 Acres Ranch on a five-mile trip. Take in the views of surrounding flora and fauna before a complimentary shuttle whisks you back to civilization. The tubing trip allows two people to relax in harmony during a leisurely 2.5 mile float down the Hudson. Lasting approximately two hours, or the time the average American spends watching cat videos per week, this tranquil trip provides serene surroundings and calming conditions for bonding or splash fights. The whitewater rafting trips provide thrills and adventure in beautiful Adirondack Park. Grab a trusted companion or smiley pre-friend and cascade through 17 miles of Class III-IV+ rapids including ragers such as The Narrows and Givney’s Rift. Rafters can practice synchronized swimming routines in the Dunk Flats, or jump off Elephant Rock before eating a riverside lunch and climbing back in the raft to pilot through even more rapids. The day concludes with a hot dinner at the raft base. This trip includes a raft, wetsuit, booties, a helmet, personal flotation device, lunch, dinner, transportation, and an NYS-licensed guide.
