The Albany Government Center in downtown
Nearby is 'The Parks at Chehaw'. Water is the central theme to the Albany way of life, with the Flint River flowing through the town.
Fishing, swimming, boating, and co neing are popular sports.
Hunters naturally will want to experience Albany, dubbed the "quail hunting capital of the world." The beautiful, former Civil War plantations have been stocked with many birds, making a perfect setting that hunters will not want to miss. There are plenty of other outdoor activities available, too.
Stop by one of several parks for a picnic or a game of catch.
Art museums, history museums, a planetarium, model railroad museum, and more await. Explore antique stores for that unique present, or enjoy specialty stores and a mall. You'll work up a big appetite, one that can be satisfied by a wide variety of cuisine choices. Concerts and live theatre productions highlight the varied cultural attractions.
The Parks at Chehaw are home to the Chehaw Wild Animal Park where native and exotic animals roam in natural habitat exhibits. This 100-acre park was designed by famed naturalist and Albany native Jim Fowler. (www.parksatchehaw.org)
