RMSC (Rochester Museum & Science Center)

A very fun and educational place to visit with one of a kind exhibits. For example, currently there is a live sloth and reptile exhibit on the third floor through May 2024. This is the kind of place that you can visit several times throughout the year and see something different. Besides exhibits, there are also educational shows and other live demonstrations put on by the staff. Recommend spending at least a few hours to browse through, though you can easily spend all day here taking ng your time to enjoy the exhibits. The museum and science center also includes the planetarium next door, but admission to those shows is a separate fee.

New exhibit on 3rd floor very cool. Kids loved it. Sloth very active in spite of its reputation. Actually most of the animals were very active: Iguana, tortoise, snakes, bearded lizards ???? ect. Well done temp. Exhibit. This museum in general is a nice balance of adult and child friendly experience as well as a nice balance of STEM, anthropology, geology, archeology that dovetails nicely into local history relative to each of those facets. Well curated. They even have adult themed evenings with food and cocktails with activities or just while perusing. They also have 3$ entry for like 3 or 4 people if you receive snap benefits. Great activity for parents who have limited financial means to bring kids out to do something fun and expose their kids to STEM and fun educational stuff.

Spend a few hrs at RMSC with my boys. It was our first time there. The lady at the front desk was really friendly. It's fun for both children and adults. We love the electricity show, plus the reptiles and sloth. Staffs are really friendly and professional.
