Utica: A Historic Amtrak Station

Explore Central New York by taking Amtrak to Utica (UCA).

The small, but historic city of Utica, is a hub in Central New York. From the moment you pull into the historic Union Station, built in the Italianate style and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, you will be primed for an adventure. Visit the Utica Zoo or Munson, a popular arts institute with unique programming. Eat at the Tailor and the Cook, Utica’s most famous farm-to-table restaurant or grab a beer at one of the many breweries including Saranac Brewery. Taking Amtrak to Utica can also be used as a jumping off point for exploring Central New York and beyond. 

Utica (UCA)
A grand hall reminiscent of Utica Station, boasting ornate architectural details and tall marble columns. The high ceiling with skylights bathes the space in natural light, while warm, round lights add charm. Wide wooden stairs ascend to a large entrance framed by arched windows.
