Another example of grasping at straws. Will host local events of little interest and expect the public to want to buy into it. More

Lots of fun for adults and children; engaging activities. Only drawback is there's more to see than is possible in a half day, and I don't want to spend more than 3-4 hours in a museum. More

The exhibits in this museum are well-curated and designed and appeal to a variety of ages, from 4 to teen to adult. We return year-after-year during trips to visit family in Rochester. More
