And I was impressed! It was so well clean and talented care of. They had merch that I haven't seen at other theaters. I plan to go back and check out the arcade (so cool!) and there was a good amount of seating in the lobby. It's a bit of a maze if you aren't used to it. The bathrooms could probably use a sign in the hallway, but they were otherwise clean and well kept. The theater that we happened to be in was elevated, and I have not seen one like that in such a long time. We sat all the way in the back, in comfy leather recliners. The movie looked great on screen, and it sounded great, too. I will definitely go again!

I happen to live in an area where theater options are plentiful. I will now make sure everyone who I have the ability to reach will not attend Cinemark either. While this won't make a dent in the discusting amount of money Cinemark brings in, it will let my little corner of the world know that this company has no regard for the people who want to attend. So between myself, my family, and my friends I will at least know that we have deprived Cinemark of our few thousand dollars a year. Our conversation concludes, but the word of mouth social media campaign now begins. You're very welcome for the thousands of dollars I have spent ove the years. Thank you for sending me to try out my other theater options.

However new owners decided to buy it recently and have done such great things!!!. They have a full bar to purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; as well as a popcorn and candy stand. The owners and staff that work there are very very nice and knowledgable about ROC history. What I liked most though of ROC cinema was the ambiance. Outside it looks like an old school cinema (which I find fun). However on the inside is all brand new and renovated. The theaters are different too. They are full service so you can order anything you like during the movie and it will be delivered to you all at decent prices unlike the other full service movie theaters. There are long counter type tables in every aisle and the large comfy computer chairs for your seating that are adjustable in any direction. Every 2 seats there is a table light to be on or off depending if you're eating out. Every night of the week they have special themed events as well too. I Plan on checking them out too! I highly recommend ROC Cinema.

Amazing experience- one I'm sure to remember for a long time to come. It's really a shame I was…read moreonly able to see one film of the many that were shown this year. I came to see The Wedding Invitation directed by Rainy Kerwin on the last night of the 2016 High Falls Film Festival. The Wedding Invitation is your typical rom-com, filled with heartbreak and laughter. The story was focused on the lives of three female leads who make a game out of trying to get their perfect dates for a wedding in less than a week. When this film was being produced movies like Bridesmaids had not actually come out yet, so, although movies with female leads are now getting more attention, there is still much competition with being recognized as being a "hit". This is especially difficult because 60% of sales come from foreign markets, and foreign markets only recognize the profitability of female leads at a fraction of what a male lead would be. For example, a movie with a female lead would make 2 million compared to a male lead that would make 20 million. But this gap is decreasing with the increasing enjoyment and sales of these types of movies which is wonderful. What is also really amazing about this experience is to understand that this great film, because it wasn't picked up by a major label studio, was made on a tight budget- as most independent films are. I think it's important for people to realize that independent films have some amazing content in them and they should not be discredited as being just as enjoyable as those produced by bigger studios. To top it all off there was a Q&A session with the director Rainy Kerwin afterwards. She was so personable, alive and open- it was very cool to meet the person who made the film I had just enjoyed on the big screen and be able to shake her hand.

My kids are 6, 4, and 2 and each of them had a genuinely wonderful time. My husband and I did as well. We brought our lunch both days and ate in the cafeteria. We brought our stroller in with us all around which was helpful for toting around all the stuff you need for 5 people. I really can't complain about a thing. There were employees all over the place cleaning up constantly and taking care of the exhibits while also not interfering with the kids and their play at all. On friday and Saturday they have extended hours into the evening which is what lead us to come when we did. We were happy to have extra time each of those days and stayed well beyond 4pm which is the closing time the rest of the days. If you are considering giving this place a go, check it out for sure!!!

This place reminded me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco, , except instead of interactive exhibits highlighting scientific principles, these interactive exhibits were all about play! Play for both the kids, and the grown-ups. They had a ropes course for the younger kids, and another one for older kids and the grown-ups. For the kids, they had a scale model of a local grocery chain, where the kids could either "work", or "shop", right down to the working checkout lanes. They had a Sesame Street exhibit...., A butterfly habitat, and and All kinds of different indoor and outdoor play areas. I can still hula hoop! (for a whole five seconds...). They also had all of the exhibits on toys, games, and video games. This is the home of the national toy, Hall of Fame, and the national video game Hall of Fame. it was so cool seeing toys from my childhood, and a wide range of video games and pinball machine machines that are playable. The price to get in is very reasonable, and they also offer a military/veterans discount, and memberships to the museum, which offer free museum admission. There is a parking garage attached to the museum, with a small charge for parking, and there is a also a small charge for the ropes course, the butterfly habitat, or to play the video games/pinball machines. (4 tokens for a dollar, and every machine only takes one token...) This is an absolutely fun museum for kids of all ages. Thanks!!!

They have a full wood shop, 3D printers, resources for working with metal and glass, electronics equipment, arts- and crafts-type setups, and computer work stations. Basically, if you have a creative instinct, like to tinker, or have a penchant for experimenting with gizmos and gadgets, you will find something to appreciate here. The place works on a subscription model where you pay to use the facilities, but they are freely open to the public on Thursday nights (which are the only occasions I've been there) and Saturday nights. Everyone is very friendly and open to chatting about what they do, what you do, and whatever there may be to talk about. It's great to just investigate what different people are doing and where they're coming from in their work. They keep a little fridge stocked with sodas and ice cream pops. The whole vibe is very communal, proactive and family friendly. I only took off a star so that they hopefully continue to grow and improve! Definitely stop by and check it out!

In 1941, a group of deaf men met on a regular basis in a clubroom located at 21 Front Street in Rochester. They were members of the so-called Rochester Sphinx Club. Socials and other entertainments were planned to raise money to pay the rent of the clubroom. The club incorporated in 1945, and the name was changed to Rochester Recreation Club for the Deaf, Inc. (RRCD). Women were eventually allowed to join. Socializing was very popular as there were no ttys, no tv captioning, no open-captioned movies at theaters. People met at the club to catch up on news, and make plans or other appointments. From 1945 to 1966, the club met at various locations, renting space when needed. RRCD began hosting New York State Bowling Tournaments. They also started showing 16-mm captioned films every weekend, sometimes showing twice in an evening to handle the large crowds. In 1966, RRCD purchased a building at 1275-1279 St. Paul Street for $12,000. Members volunteered their services fixing up the club into presentable condition; more socials were planned and membership grew. Bingo, Bank Night, weekly bowling leagues, and euchre games were frequent social events. A number of educational programs were presented for the members. In February 1989, the clubhouse burned down, due to arson. For one and a half years, the members had no place for their meetings, so they met at Perry's Bowling Lanes, and began searching for a new clubhouse. In 1991, a building was purchased at 1564 Lyell Avenue for $144,000. After remodeling, the building officially opened in 1992. Many bowling tournaments were hosted by RRCD. Super Bowl parties were held with the club's 52-inch TV. Steer Roasts kicked off the fall season each year. A local publication, Deaf Rochester News was sponsored by RRCD for ten years. Interpreters were welcomed as members, and new programs such as D.E.A.R. and R.E.A.P. were started. Euchre became popular and drew many new members. Soon the mortgage was paid off, with a note-burning ceremony. Other local organizations began using the clubhouse for their events. A new website was started in 2006. RRCD has truly become a hub for the Rochester Deaf Community.
