For all the Star Trek geeks out there, the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga NY is incredible. They have painstakingly rebuilt the Star Trek TOS sets from the original blueprints. We went yesterday and had a great time! Sick bay, Engineering, the transporter room, Kirk’s quarters, the Enterprise hallways, and of course the bridge are all there. Lighting, sound effects, even the red button to hit that immediately lights up the red alert lights and klaxon are perfectly reproduced. You can stand on the transporter pad, “ride” in the elevator, and best of all sit in the captain’s chair on the bridge. Tours run every hour, and our tour guide was amazingly informative. Pictures are encouraged!
Mr wj73 is not that much of a Star Trek geek as I am, but even he had a wonderful time. If you’re in that area, and have any interest in Star Trek or even in 60’s TV in general, I can highly recommend it.
