We arrived at noon (opening time on a Sunday) on July 6. We were afraid that the museum would be extremely crowded, especially during the Fourth of July weekend. We were very pleasantly surprised to find it practically empty upon arrival; apparently, Americans go anywhere BUT to Rochester during long weekends. It worked out perfectly for us! Our 3.5 year... more

We decided to take our 21 month old daughter to strong for the day after hearing how wonderful it was there. We never expected there to be so much for a young toddler to do there. It was great. She had so much fun and so did we. We could not even finish . The little Wegmans store is fantastic... more

But this past summer, the museum expanded and now they are almost twice the size that they used to be!!! I actually bought a membership... more
