Great experience today with Captain Aaron and his son Mississippi... I mean, River. LOL…read more Aaron was friendly, had tons of information and was great with everyone on board, from 8 to 80. He shared all sorts of great information and even let my niece drive the boat for a few minutes. She LOVED that so much. Great value for your dollar as well. Definitely check out Captain Aaron and you might just end up with a fun selfie on your phone too.

Fantastic experience. Lots of interesting information and fun. Boat is comfortable and snacks and…read moredrinks for sale.

Mixed review for me. I went on a historical tour last year as the haunted tour was full. That was…read morereally good, I learned a lot about the city, history, lots of cool sites that I would have never found on my own. My cousin who lives in town didn't know 1/2 the stuff we learned. We marked our calendars to come back for the haunted tour. Dr. Hawk takes it a bit serious for me, I was asked/told to stop talking twice (I was whispering with my cousin while masked, it was not loud). It is clear that Dr. Hawk expected everyone to sit and listen attentively to her for the full tour, I am an adult and paid for the experience as things come up I think it should be ok to quietly talk to my companion. The cemetery visits were very interesting, some good info/stories and that was fun. I believe that there is something out there but not sure how much in ghosts and some of the ghost hunting equipment and trying to talk to the spirits was a little out there for me, others seemed to enjoy it, and it was only a smaller portion of the tour. The covid practices were very good, hand sanitizer as you enter the trolley, masks covering nose and mouth. Hoped for some more stories and a little less ghost hunting. Entertaining unique night out

I think, was very knowledgeable and passionate about her tour. She did a great job. She went the extra mile when we had problems with our uber driver getting lost and needing help. If you want to learn more about the history of the Mayo family and the Mayo Clinic from a more personal perspective this is a good stop for you. Especially during Christmas time, as the home is decorated similar to the decor from when the family lived there.

I lived here for a few years and never knew the history museum was here because I never really made it to this side of town. The museum part is pretty small but informative, but the outside features are cool. You can tour an old farm house and an old school. There is a lot of history about the Mayo Clinic, which I didn't really know about and you can do the whole thing in about an hour. We had a nice place to kill a couple of hours and I am glad we did.

They had a Beatles exhibit which featured a very nice stroll through the history of the entire Beatles phenomenon. We wound through the pre-determined path which had a few artifacts, most of which were along the lines of "here is a guitar like the one John Lennon played during this period". My expectations weren't too high for seeing real artifacts, so that was fine. They did a very nice job of taking us through the chronology of Beatlemania, and in particular I liked the photos on display. I'm very knowledgeable in Beatles history, and there were many photos that I don't recall ever having seen before. There were some cool interactive setups where you could play with some sound stuff. It was all fun and interesting. I didn't see any souvenirs for purchase that were specific to the Beatles exhibit; I'd have been interested in that. This venue is a historic theater in downtown Rochester, so it has a really cool vibe to it. You enter under the old-school marquee, past the old-school box office, and are greeted by an old-school lobby that has some fun memorabilia you can peruse before entering the main section. That main auditorium is *probably* pretty cool, but when we were in there it was mostly obscured by the Beatles exhibit. My hope is that it retains its classy, retro character, which would make it a nice environment for all kinds of events.

It is…read morean excellent exhibit with many pieces of Beatles memorabilia, great photos, quotes from the guys and info on how they mixed music in their later days. Very interesting and fun. The Chateau is an old and very interesting building. My only negative comment is that it was cold inside. We had parked in the ramp and considered leaving our coats in the car. I was happy that we wore them as it was very chilly in the building. If you get a chance, you should go and see this exhibit, and bring warm clothes.

Then for lunch we had grilled sandwiches and soup (I had a chicken wild rice that was so delicious) along with a cookie. During our lunch we had the option of taking a guided tour of the home. There is so much history in this renovated home with original furnishings and decor. And the views of the property are amazing. For the meeting, the technology worked great to have our remote participants feel engaged as they could see us and each of us in the room had a mutable microphone. Can't wait for an invitation to come back!
