Colonie Center
Located in the heart of New York’s Capital Region, visitors enjoy the convenience and selection of Colonie Center for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The center is just 5 minutes from the Albany International Airport and is easily accessible from I-87 and I-90 (NY Thruway). Anchored by Whole Foods, Boscov’s and Macy’s, the center has many stores that are unique to the market—from the L.L. Bean retail store to the only P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in the Capital Region. Our center-wide renovation added a two-story fireplace, a family lounge and the DeNooyer Play Park in center court. Plan a night out at the 13-screen Regal digital cinema or At The Pier Arcade. Colonie Center is dog-friendly! Your leashed, well-behaved pups are welcome in the common areas and select stores!

Peddlers and Parchment Escape
We are part of the global escape room phenomenon. But that's not nearly enough! We are a grassroots immersive museum of the amazing places where a family tree can lead! We bring to life the true story of Dr. Jeffrey Paull who discovered that some of the greatest sages such as the Shpoler Zaide (18th century), Rashi (11th century) and ultimately King David (9th century BCE) are all his ancestors! Our room packs a lot: cutting edge technology from international designers, genealogy, history, kindness and self-sacrifice.
