Such a great day trip here for their sensory Sunday. We went from 10-12 for this event and it was just perfect. Not crowded at all... not very loud or bright. Perfect sensory for persons with autism like my sister. All the staff was kind and helpful. The museum itself was just incredible !! So much to see and do!! Honestly all ages can enjoy. I really look forward to going back. Butterfly exhibit was so beautiful inside. I loved seeing all the different butterflies as well as the case of all the butterflies in their cocoons ... simply amazing !! MUST MUST MUST GO!!!!!!

This was my second trip to the museum. I have to say it's definitely more fun with children! There is a lot of walking involved and they have strollers for toddlers. There are bathrooms located throughout the museum which is great. It's a huge learning experience as well. They have weekly or monthly events. Big recommendation!

Awesome zoo that really cares about animals & conservation. They are always updating to make the enclosures more comfortable for the animals, while still keeping the visitor's experience in mind. There are classes for 2, 3, 4 & 5 year olds. The classes involve an encounter with at least 1 animal, a story, craft, & snack. They also have camps for older kids during school breaks & in the summer. My kids have really enjoyed both the classes & camps. They also have a unique program for teens called Zoo Teens. It teaches teens about leadership, animals, conservation & working as a team. Great volunteer opportunity.

I was so impressed with this zoo for it's size! A friend and I were in Rochester for a concert from central PA and did this just as something to do. Everyone we met was lovely. Most of enclosures were a good size for the animals. All of the workers around the park know lots about all the animals. The food around the park is good too.

This educational and intriguing visit was supplemented with the holiday display of wreaths and gingerbread houses. The grounds are immaculate, a truly beautiful sight to see. The option of a phone tour was appreciated, although we didn't use it. The play room was one of our favorite parts, an opportunity to apply some of the techniques used in the early days of photography. There's something here for people of all ages to enjoy.

We really loved learning about George Eastman when we visited this museum. The museum was beautiful and the photography section of the museum was exceptionally well displayed and creative - that was a super nice surprise. The tour guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and shared so many interesting things about the home and Mr. Eastman. A must see!!
