Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y. There’s no place on earth quite like the Adirondacks, and there’s no place in the Adirondacks quite like the Adirondack Museum. The Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, New York is now open for it’s 54th season. This season, the museum has two new exhibits sure to wow visitors, and also introduces a host of fantastic family activities and special events. In addition there are two new initiatives to
encourage visitors this summer.

First, the Adirondack Museum has lowered some of its admissions prices for 2011. The new admissions prices are $16 for seniors (62 and over), $12 for teens (13-17), and $6 for kids (6-12). The price for adults remains $18 and free for those 5 and under. Admission is free for members and all active military every day. Special reduced group rates are also available.

Secondly, the Adirondack Museum is also collaborating with Stewarts Shops in their “Lucky Tape” promotion. Stop by your local store during the week of June 27 to enter to win tickets to the Adirondack Museum. Participating shops include: Indian Lake, Long Lake, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, Warrensburg, Bolton Landing, and North Creek.
