Great place to hike, have some quiet time or learn about the history of Saratoga. The park guides will give you tons of great info on the revolutionary war, General Burgoyne, the surrender of the British forces and more. You can walk the battlefields and get some real perspective on what occurred on this historic land. At the main building, there is even more to see and do. This includes some fabulous dress up opportunities for the kids, as well as a digital display that explains how the British and American forces moved about during a long conflict. Put in for a couple hours if you want to get the most of your trip. Also great for history classes and or scout groups.

The Battlefield is a year round destination if you enjoy the outdoors. Winter x-country skiing on the trails; birdwatching in fall and spring; beautiful sunsets; excellent cycling on low traffic and well maintained park roads; as well as hiking and horse riding trails. Surrounded by history as you explore the battlefield that helped to turn the tide of the American Revolution.

This large park has a driving tour and a walking tour - both with informative audio tours via cell phone or mp3. The visitor center has a short video explaining the history of the park and the battles that happened here. Theres also information on how this battle worked into the rest of the American Revolutionary War.

Great history and beautiful. Unfortunately our visit was cut short by a severe thunderstorm. Thearticles car tour with online audio was the best way for us to experience the park. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was thebest lack of a place to buy snacks and a drink. Otherwise wonderful.

Great place for hiking, a family picnic, cross-country skiing, biking, site-seeing, and just being outdoors. The only negative thing I can say about the park is that the tour road is only open from 9am-6pm during the open season. The park is now free and the trails are well maintained.

We did the driving tour and its pretty cool. They give you an MP3 to stream and listen at the 10 stops. Its not overly exciting, but the views are great. Make sure you stop at the visitors center. They have a short video on the battle and an interactive map of the battle as well.

It was a nice hike, and after watching the short video describing the troop movements and skirmishes during the Revolutionary War before going on the hike, you could more easily picture the troops fighting in the surrounding fields, and feel more aware of the history of the area.

Lots of American History here right in our backyard. Lots of people dont even know its here. And starting this year its free admission. I like to ride my bike on the 9.4 mile path for exercise and for the awesome views. You can also drive your car on the road at slow speed.

The Rangers were very helpful and friendly. The 4.2 mile Wilkinson Trail was a great snowshoeing loop. It has markers along the way indicating places of historic significance that you can learn more about from the map you can pick up in the visitor center.

The visitor center staff was very knowledgeable and gave lots of background information. We did the self driving tour with the phone app and that turned out to be a lot of good information, however most o f the stops had little to see.

Super friendly & attentive staff, lots and lots of trails, some good long hiking trails, loads of monuments; my favorite ones are the few cannons perched up on top of the hill that overlooks Bemis Hights.

Excellent Revolutionary War Battlefield that has an excellent cr tour and excellent war sites. Just be careful about the ticks as they are common throughout the battlefields long grass.

The Visitor Guide was so nice and helpful. Today is the Centenary of Saratoga Historic National Park and the entrance was free. We come here every year with our 4 children.
