Albany is the capital of New York State, which means it is where the leaders make important decisions. It is one of the oldest cities in the whole country.
Tour the grand State Capitol building with its fancy staircase, ride the elevator up the Corning Tower for a big view, and explore the New York State Museum full of history.
This huge stone building looks like a castle and is where state laws are made. Its carved staircase took many years for artists to finish.
The New York State Museum is packed with stories, giant models, and even a real old carousel to ride. It is a fun way to learn about the past.
