A Magical Birthday Experience at the Nature Center!…read more We recently celebrated a birthday at this nature center, and it was absolutely wonderful--far beyond what we expected! The indoor nature exhibits were a huge hit. They were interactive and filled with fascinating things to see and touch--specimens and lifecycle interactive displays. It was hands-on, educational, and exciting for both kids and adults. The animals were a favorite part of our visit. There were so many more than we expected, and we especially loved the friendly bird that said "hello"! Outside, the nature trail was beautiful, peaceful, and filled with hand-painted murals that gave it a magical feel. We added our own fun by hiding tiny money gnomes along the fairy trail as part of the birthday party, and it turned out to be a big hit! You can also hand feed the chickadees along Birdsong trail. The volunteer staff was amazing--so helpful, patient, and welcoming. They really helped make the day feel special and run smoothly. Our package included a very educational 1:1 with several birds that we got to take photos with, pizza, drinks, access to facility, nature center, private room and staff to assist. All in all, it was a fantastic experience--fun, educational. We're already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

Writers and Books is a wonderful non-profit literacy center dedicated to promoting reading and…read morewriting. They have a book store on site and host workshops, and events with authors in person. The building is quite large and has on site parking with a back lot. I was very excited to learn of a free event with graphic journalist Joe Sacco. The event was free and I found great value in the conversation with Joe Sacco and Daniel Worden. I learned a lot about the authors body of work and felt it was a great evening focused on the arts. I also learned Writers and Books hosts events like this throughout the year and brings authors to the Rochester area to discuss their works. As previously mentioned, The book store had new and used books, including books by the visiting author available to purchase and have signed. I also enjoyed an interactive typewriter display where you can type out a line and add to what others have written before you. A wonderful organization with a worthy cause, I hope to attend more events in the future and visit the bookstore when in the area.

Spoke with both Rebecca and Holden by phone for scheduling and worked with the tech Trevor, for repair work.

Am relieved to have it back up and running since it's only a few years old (new from box store). Will definitely be using them in the future for any appliance repairs. Thanks for help :)

I did find a reasonably priced flower pot, an overpriced but kind of perfect basket for my bedroom ($8), and a pretty-good-condition summer dress. One other annoyance is that there are no fitting rooms, so I had to hope for the best that the dress would fit once I got it home. They did offer an opportunity to enter an email/phone number at checkout and get a discount off of your total purchase, and I happily did so. There is a rewards program of some kind, but I likely won't go here enough to utilize it. This is a good place to go to satisfy the thrifting thrill in the colder months when there are no garage sales. The staff was friendly and it is an organized store, I just wish the quality of the items was reflected better in the pricing.

They also do literally everything possible to keep the cats happy and healthy. I have watched them treat an elderly cat with hyperthyroidism, spending money on two different surgeries to help him. You can tell how much the employees love these cats and how passionate they are.
