THE STRONG NATIONAL MUSEUM OF PLAY REVIEWS
I really loved this museum. Perfect for young kids. The entire first floor is geared to them. There are cool activities like the miniature grocery store, a play gym, train ride and so much more. The upstairs is geared more for teens and adults with cool video games, the museum portion, history of toys with a few little kid activities. Washrooms were clean, they had space to buy food or eat your own which was clean and maintained. Staff were friendly. If I didn't have kids I might not rate it quite as high unless you are really into arcade games and the history of toys. But my family loved it and would definitely go again.
We are so lucky to have the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester! Always an incredible experience. They also have done a great job keeping families safe during COVID with constant cleaning and limited capacities. Very excited for the additions to come!
First visit since the pandemic and it was pretty nice. I can see the effort that the staff is making to insure a clean, safe and Fun atmosphere for all. Our family enjoyed our experience and im pretty grateful that I purchased a membership this year. Definitely worth it.

SENECA PARK ZOO REVIEWS
We’ve had a membership for a few years. My parents held a membership when I was a child so I’ve been going to this zoo my whole life. I’ve witnessed a lot of changes and growth to this zoo. Now I’m glad I get to share it with our daughter. She loves coming and looking at all the animals. It’s a small zoo and can be walked in about an hour to an hour and a half depending on how quickly you go through. There are protocols to follow still with the pandemic still going on. Check their website for all the details. This is always a fun thing for us to do that’s close by. The prices are reasonable at the food stand but you can also pack your own picnic lunch as well.
Love the Seneca Park Zoo! I always have a wonderful time and this is my second year of having the zoo membership. I am always grateful I can drive less then 30 minutes and see beautiful exotic animals. Yes, the zoo is smaller than others but, it very clean and animals are healthy/ well cared for. The zoo also has special events like the Zoo Brew for adult time and a bunch more the options. Definitely worth the time and money.
Just got back from my most recent trip! I've been going to Seneca park zoo throughout my whole life so far, and I have had wonderful experiences every time. They are enforcing CDC mandated policies, and have made the park one way. This system worked out pretty well and everyone maintained the proper distancing for at least 90% of the time. All in all I love this zoo, and will continue to visit in years to come!

GEORGE EASTMAN MUSEUM REVIEWS
The George Eastman House is a beautiful building with a lot of interesting exhibitions. For Photography lovers it is a real gem! The gardens are beautiful and we really enjoyed walking through them and looking at all the plants. The staff was very nice and helpful. I am looking forward to my next visit!
Absolutely beautiful. I recently moved to Rochester and I'm so glad this was one of the first sights I went to see. I did not know there was so much incredible rich history in Rochester. The staff was so nice and so helpful I can't wait to go visit again!
Beautiful museum for photography fans. We really enjoyed all the flowers and the Night Reel exhibit. The staff were very friendly and vovid guidelines were enforced very well. I think it is really wonderful that they let families on ebt visit for free. They also sent us home with a kids craft, a bulb to plant. We had a very nice time.
