Huck Finn's Playland, Amusement park in Albany, New York, US
Huck Finn's Playland is an amusement park in Albany, New York, featuring classic rides spread across about 3 acres. The grounds include roller coasters, bumper cars, a carousel, arcade games, and a concession building for refreshments.
The park opened in 2015 after taking all its rides from the former Hoffmans Playland in Latham. This move saved attractions that had been operating at another location for many years.
The park takes its name from Mark Twain's character Huck Finn and continues a tradition of family fun that began at another location. You can see rides that have entertained generations of visitors over many decades.
The park operates seasonally from spring through early fall, with daily admission tickets and weekly wristbands available. Visitors should check the season before planning a trip, as exact opening dates may vary.
The park sits on land with hidden history, as burial sites from the canal era are believed to lie beneath the back section. This underground layer connects the location to Albany's past as a transport hub.
