The legendary William Shatner returns to the Adirondacks for a fan-favorite event at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, June 25 – June 28, 2026.

This four-day pop culture event blends immersive museum experience with live appearances, giving Trekkies and curious travelers alike a rare chance to step inside television history—right in the Adirondacks.

What this Adirondack event is all about.

This semi-annual appearance by Shatner—forever known as Captain James T. Kirk—is more than a meet-and-greet. It’s a full-scale fan experience built around one of the most detailed television set recreations in the world.

Guests can tour the USS Enterprise sets, meet cast members, attend special talks, and purchase photo ops and autographs. The weekend feels equal parts convention, museum visit, and theatrical immersion.

And yes—this is as close as most fans will ever get to standing on the Bridge with “The Captain.”

The Star Trek set tour in the Adirondacks.

What makes the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour so remarkable is its authenticity. These sets are painstaking recreations of the original 1960s series—down to the control panels, lighting, and sound design.

Visitors don’t just look—they walk through. The Bridge, Sickbay, Transporter Room, and corridors are all fully realized, creating a uniquely immersive experience that feels more like stepping into an episode than visiting a museum.

Set in Ticonderoga—within easy reach of Lake George, Lake Champlain, and the wider Adirondack Park—the attraction adds an unexpected layer of pop culture to the region’s natural beauty.

Why this Adirondack experience is truly unique.

There are plenty of conventions across the country—but very few take place inside a fully realized, screen-accurate set.

That’s what sets this apart.

Here, the Adirondacks provide the backdrop, but the experience transports visitors light-years away. It’s a rare blend of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and fandom—one that appeals equally to lifelong Trekkies and those simply looking for something unexpected to do in the region.
