Wildlife Sports and Educational Museum
We had heard about this museum in Vail Mills, NY, somewhere around Amsterdam. We thought it would be some simple museum with a few stuffed animals. Well, we got there a few days ago, and boy, were we surprised! This is a 14,000 sq. ft. museum of wildlife, hunting, fishing and trapping with specimens from all over the world. The $10.00 entry fee was well worth the price. If you have ANY interest in the outdoors you need to get there. They are located at the corner of Rte. 29 and Rte. 30 in Vail Mills.http://www.wildlifesportsmuseum.com/ 518-883-4933.
