Planning a picnic, a larger festival, or a family reunion? Then consider holding it at the Ararat Center.

The spacious grounds, located only 30 miles south of Albany, offers the perfect space for any outdoor event. Visitors will enjoy the baseball and soccer fields, tennis court, and even a small playground for children just to name a few outdoor recreational activities offered at the center.

Or, looking to hold an indoor gathering? No problem. We have smaller common space rooms or even larger areas such as the recreation hall or dining room where family and friends can gather for classes, talent shows, arts & craft exhibits and so much more.

We also offer a wide variety of accommodations from small cottage lodging, to hotel and motel type rooms. The property is anchored by seven different buildings which can house up to 150 people in a variety of room types. Some buildings include air-conditioning and heat, as well as private baths and cable television.

And let’s not forget about the winter and those family ski trips or snow mobile fun. Our year-round motel and cottage combined can host up to 20 people depending on the set up. Enjoy our overnight accommodations located near Catskill ski resorts and other winter recreational facilities.
