Zoo brew is an adult only event that happened after hours at Seneca Park zoo. There are a couple of…read moredifferent versions of this event. But in general, it happens during the summer months and features local live music and beer or wine. Participants can walk around the zoo while they are there. It's pretty cool to wander around the zoo during a time when it feels a little off-limits. Plus there are no kids there. It's a lot of fun and sometimes sells out.

The organizers offered ticketed shopping times through Eventbrite and took temps at the door and required masks. Very Covid-safe. From their website: "Theatre for Everybody! The Avenue Blackbox Theatre is where the cool kids come to play. An inclusive, fully accessible, queer space where social justice and art disciplines converge to create dynamic stage productions, installations and live art-making events. Your patronage supports collaborations that elevate voices from the margins, makes space for their art and real time community transformation." Can't wait til post-Covid to come see local community performance!

I have also attended a book release party and a youth literary circle. Most events are low-cost and have an option to pay as you can. The summer program last year included meals for youth. This theater is a gem to Rochester, but especially for youth who don't always have access to creative outlets. One thing that I have noticed, though, is to always add a little time to your plans. Events sometimes start late or have added time during an event that I hadn't anticipated (e.g. Tour of the art gallery).

What an absolute treasure we have here in Rochester! With over 12,000 permanent pieces in the…read morecollection. From paintings, sculptures, artifacts and everything in between. Came here with a six year old first time visitor. When we got our tickets the staff member suggested we do one of their scavenger hunt's. That was a big success., we did the horse one inside and the metal sculptures outside. Great way to keep kids engaged. Loved the Picasso and the progressive proof exhibit in the Lockhart gallery. Had to make sure I visited my favorite paintings including anything by Monet . Great outside area with different sculptures in the garden and surrounding pathways.

I love this little local art museum. I've been here so many times but never reviewed it…read more From their website: "MAG offers free access to children age 5 and under, active University of Rochester students*, faculty, staff & retirees, and SNAP card holders (along with three guests)." They are also open late on Thursdays and second Friday, and admission is half price after 5pm on those days, which is nice for people who work a 9-5. They also have tours that are included in the price of admission. The last time that I visited, I was able to participate in one of the Thursday night MAG general collection tours. Everyone who worked there was very kind, and the tour included some interesting history about Rochester that I would have never otherwise known. For a local museum, the collections are very interesting and cover a broad range. There are also some big names in American art, so try to spot them! They also have a small but good impressionist collection. One of the coolest aspects of this museum is the baroque organ which is played on Sunday afternoons.

They have 3 Skeet and 4 Trap fields but do not have Sporting Clays or rifle/pistol range. All of the members and people who shoot are very nice and willing to help any new shooters. The old timers seem to be very exited to introduce and teach the games of Skeet and Trap to new shooters and they have some great younger shooters who compete and were always willing to help my friends and I with tips. They also do private parties and group shooting with instructions. They sell gun shells so you do not have to buy your own, however, it would be cheaper if you do.

An extremely enthusiastic staff member was kind enough to assist in locating a rare book for us. I can't express how helpful that single book has been! In terms of research space there's a few tables for use. It is a little echoey in the building. Conversations carry far and I imagine having more than six or seven people could make the environment fairly cacophonous.

We utilized Charles as our driver for a winery tour during our trip through the finger lakes, and…read morehe was wonderful. In setting up our trip, he was very easy going, friendly, and prompt in our discussions. Not knowing our way around the area, we informed him that dry reds were our preference, and he took us to several wineries with outstanding reds. To eat he took us to a little hole in the wall sandwich shop that we would have never discovered on our own and it was exceptional. His recommendation was to plan a 5 hour tour, with the option to add on time if necessary at the same rate. He did a great job of being prepared as he made reservations where they were needed, and had an umbrella for us on the rainy day. Charles also did a great job of paying attention to when we were exiting the wineries and pulling right up to the door. He came prepared with water bottles in the van, and a spare box if needed to hold our purchased wine. When we come to the finger lakes again, Charles will definitely be the first driver we contact for another tour. I would highly recommend trusting Charles as your driver.

Spoke to Charles Holmes the owner to reserve a Caravan to tour 4-5 wineries. When I went to…read moredescribe what we wanted to do he abruptly interrupted and stated that I needed to follow his reservation information exchange process. He came across as very rigid and as a know it all which set off some red flags. In In spite of first impressions I decided to overlook all of this and make a reservation. He sent me a confirmation and asked for the full 4 hour rate payed in full up front. I told him that I would not be comfortable paying in advance in cash and would be willing to pay 1/2 which he agreed. When I had a chance to reflect on spending four hours in a van with someone so rigid I decided to cancel the reservation which is within my right. His response was quote "Please do not contact my company again" What a great way to respond to a customer. My advice to anyone looking to have a nice day touring Fingerlake wine country is not to hire this guy.
