Broadway is full of boutique shops and restaurants. Grab a coffee at my favorite spot: Uncommon Grounds. Congress Park is beautiful--you can ride the merry-go-round and try the famous healing mineral water in one of the many fountains.

The park is beautiful and full of natural geysers and springs. You can stroll down the Avenue of the Pines or get a massage at The Roosevelt Baths and Spa. You can also check out the historic Gideon Putnam Hotel, Hall of Springs, and the Automobile Museum. There are two public pools: The Victorian Pool (1930's style pool with a poolside bar and table service for a salad/sandwich), and The Peerless Pool (family fun with waterslides).
If it's a nice night go park your car and catch a couple of movies. The Malta Drive-in has been a destination since 1949, featuring 2 screens & a concession stand.
Lake George is breathtaking and only ~30 minutes north of Saratoga. Go grab dinner and drinks at the Sagamore and check it out for yourself. Lake George village and Bolton Landing are the two towns along the lake to definitely visit.
Although track season is July-->September, the track is definitely something to drive by and check out!
SPAC is the summer home of the NYC Ballet, Chamber Music Festival, and The Philadelphia Orchestra. Popular artists come perform throughout the summer as well.
