| We are driving to Albany from Rockville and need a good place to stop half way --- any suggestions? We have two children, ages 4 and 6, and are open to options that take an hour to several hours, just as long as they can stretch their legs. Thank you in advance for your help! |

| Diggerland in New Jersey, perhaps? Do they like construction stuff? |

| Why stop half way? Only about 7 hours. Wake up early and just get the drive done. |

Any suggestions in Pennsylvania so we can avoid 95? Or in NY south of Newburgh?
PP, yes, it is only 7 hours, and is easily done all at once; but we want to break it up so the kids are well rested when we get to the family reunion in Albany on Friday. |

The Castle is near Goshen (Rte 17)-- maybe 15-20 minutes off of 87 north? Min-Golf, go-karts, climbing wall, arcade games, and the Goshen diner has pretty decent food. It would probably take you 4.5 hrs nonstop/no traffic to get there and then another 2 hrs to Albany so not really halfway. You can also get there by taking 81 north to 84 east so avoiding 95.
