I like the set up of the exhibit. The First part was informative more intimate with the correspondence between the brothers. The second part was a cascade of visions that started high up and came down toward your feet, creating the illusion of being swept by the art work. The third part, was the one that I experienced a number of times. Once, was not enough to grasp the emotions of the scenes being projected on the walls, the floors, the columns. A brilliant idea to explore different artists.

I…read morehave been in love with Starry Night since the Boy Meets World episode, and it's one of those things that has just stuck with me. I was able to go to the preview night, thanks to Yelp. This really was not what I expected. I thought there would be several rooms we went into. It's just 3 rooms. In all honestly, I skipped through the first one. Reading a bunch of stuff is not my thing. :) The waterfall room was really cool. It was on a 5 minute loop. I stayed a few minutes. It was mostly the same. And I didn't realize there was only one other room either. The main room was really cool, but I think it would have been better if they had done a few smaller themed rooms or something like that. It was really cool and I have no idea how they do things like that. But it sat on some things a really long time that wasn't really needed IMO, then rushed through stuff that was really great, like Starry Night for me. The pictures would blink and do subtle things sometimes, but I felt those things slowed the show down. I stayed in that room the entire time to make sure I didn't miss any. Some of it was hard to tell if I'd already seen it. And a few parts gave me motion sickness. When the houses melted down, I felt like I was sinking and I knew I needed to sit down! Lol. There were benches there to sit on. The gift shop was right outside the room. There were several things I liked, but they were very pricey IMO. A $20 coffee mug was a lot, I think. It wasn't even 3D. The 3D prints were very cool, and a few other things. I was there for about an hour, and I watched the show on the big room the whole way through to be sure I didn't miss anything. Also, be sure to check the concession stand because I missed a beer sampling!

West of Rochester and on the shore of Lake Ontario, the Oak Orchard Light was constructed in 1871…read moreand deactivated in 1916. The current structure is a replica that was built by the local community group. It is easily accessible, a short detour of the Lake Ontario State Parkway that follows the shore. The original light was built at the end of a 1000 foot pier that extended into the lake. It was destroyed by a winter storm. This new structure is on land and there is plenty of parking for the marina and the small park. The park has a public restroom and some picnic tables. It's next to the Old Orchard Creek boat ramp. The lighthouse was closed when I stopped by at 6pm on a weekday but I understand that it does open for tours. [Review 1411 of 2024 - 415 in New York - 22434 overall]

This is one of the few sites where a president was inaugurated outside of Washington DC. During the tour, you can visit the library room where Roosevelt took the oath of office. It is interesting to have this bit of unique history in Buffalo! There is an on site parking lot located in the back of the building. There is also street parking (but there are typically ample spots in the lot). Your tour guide will bring you through a display about the Pan AM and give you a sense of the time period. You also learn about Teddy Roosevelt and his presidency in a video presentation. Additionally, you can sit in a replica of Roosevelt's desk and enjoy an interactive photo opp. The down side for me is that there are several interactive exhibits and lots of panels to read when you enter the museum portion, but you really don't have any time to read and enjoy them because you are forced to move on with the tour. Worth a visit to learn more about this unique piece of Buffalo history, but also learn more about Teddy Roosevelt as well.

And the views are beautiful! My photos are from early November, and it's still gorgeous, so I can only imagine how the scenery is during the summer months! The hike itself was easy enough - most of the trails we took were on mowed grass, though they had some decent sized hills along the way, and other paths that slimmed out and veered off into the wooded areas too. We parked in a quiet side lot, so we did not get around to visiting the Native American Cultural Center, but we will definitely be going back for that in the near future!

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!!!
