It's been a while - though we do have plans to see a few more sites soon.
The visitor center at Saratoga is really nice - there's a film, very well done, and a light show. I find that light shows are more helpful for getting a feel of a battle than anything else I've seen. There's also a nice section focused on Benedict Arnold. There's also a nice driving tour of the site, which includes some lovely overviews of the Hudson River. I'm not sure just how, but I'd never really understood the role that Saratoga played in the Revolutionary War, so it was definitely a great learning experience as well.
