We had a great time at Seneca Park Zoo…read more Be prepared for lots of walking if you want to see all the exhibits. I appreciate how shady the park is and how you are mostly out of the sun while browsing around. Lots of animals to see and visit with. The docents here are very kind and we're happy to engage in conversation with us. I learned there is a new female red panda who was in quarantine. Can't wait to see her when she can join Mo (short for Gizmo) the male red panda. They have accessible bathrooms throughout. They also have food and drink vendors, but pricing is high (imo) You can bring a picnic lunch if you want to and they have a shady picnic area to eat at. If you bring a cooler and need to go to your car, this is fine, just make sure to keep your ticket handy. We are very lucky to have such a well maintained zoo here.

The tanks are super clean and you can tell the owner takes pride in his work. This place deserves better than a 3 star rating. Any time you introduce new fish you risk something going wrong.

Established in 1986, it was the first of its kind and easily the most impressive animal sanctuary I've ever been to. Situated in upstate New York, it's a marvelous vision, the scenery is paradise. We visited for my daughter's thirteenth birthday; this is the trip she wanted most in the world. Last time she was here, I was wearing her in an infant wrap. Five years from now, I expect she will be FS staff. Scott was our tour guide today and he is perfect at his job. He introduced us to the animal ambassadors and the mission of Farm Sanctuary's founding. My girls, their friend and myself loved interacting with the wonderful animals, learning their names, hearing about their origin stories and seeing how they've adjusted to the kindness of vegans after lives of suffering at human hands. I highly recommend anyone reading this make the trip to Farm Sanctuary someday. It's a life-affirming experience. YES : VEGAN AF YES : FAMILY FRIENDLY AF

It was a dreary day and ended up pouring!!! for the duration of the trolley ride. It did not dampen our spirits even though we got wet!! The boys loved it!! They fed all the animals that came up to the trolley and got to pet the Watusi cows! The guide was awesome and handled that bus like a champ thru the rain and mud! Of course it stopped raining when the ride was over. We then went in and had lunch and it was delicious!! . I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was!! The burgers were delicious and the boys loved the hot dogs and chicken tenders. The fresh cut fries were an also delicious! After lunch we went to the small animal adventure and fed all the animals in there. Our grandsons have goats so they were very comfortable with the little ones jumping on them. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. I'm sure way more beautiful when not raining. lol We will definitely go back next year so the boys can see all the animals again and hope for good weather!

My BF surprised me with this day trip. He didn't tell me where we were going, just that he had a…read moresurprise for me. We drove about an 1.5 hrs. From Rochester. The scenery was gorgeous, the sun was out, I was ready for it. I never asked where we were going, I just went with it and enjoyed the ride. It looked magnificent from the minute we pulled in. The grounds looked Immaculate, with custom waterfalls around the building, and restaurant below. Lots of places for kids to run around before even going into the park. They have a cute petting zoo. With goats, ponies, OMG! They even have a Giraffe. Perfect for little kids to feed and get close and personal with them. Then I saw what looked like a Forrest. That is when BF revealed to me that, this is a self drive Animal Park. I felt the joy of being a little girl again. I have been wanting to do this for so long, and to find out there is one so close felt like an awesome joy punch! You can also take a bus in, looked like an old school bus with the windows and window frames cut out, so kids and families can hang out and feed the animals. They all looked like they were having an amazing time. Probably the way to go with kids 10 and under. We chose to self drive. Of course there is a waiver that we take full responsibility for any damage to the car. Signed it in a NY minute. I'm so glad we did. It was so much fun X 10. After we checked our car. No damage at all We bought 2 large tubs of food, because neither of us knew what to expect, and we wanted to be ready for anything. Highly recommend doing that, these animals are very smart, and tricky, in a fun way. All animals are free range, some group naturally together. But they can choose to roam anywhere. They all appeared very healthy, happy animals, clear eyes, no lethargy. They looked really well cared for. We fed Buffalos, Zebras, Ostriches, long horn steers, emu's, deer, and much more. Our first animal was a Buffalo with big horns. I rolled my window down, food in hand, outside the window, hand flat, like they tell you to do. That Buffalo didn't care about that little bit of food. He stuck his head right through my window, and into the bucket I was holding in my other hand. I was screaming out of joy, surprise, and a little nervous of the unexpected. Lol We had a moment, when we were wondering how to move forward before he ate my whole bucket. He started retreating from inside our window. I sighed relief that he was exiting, just a wee bit too early. Because on his way out, he suddenly grabbed my bucket with his teeth, and pulled it out of the car. I was astonished It was very exciting. We made a quick pivot and evened out our buckets, and I made note to hold on to that bucket tight, and try to keep it out of site. Haha! Good luck. The animals worked together. A Zebra would stand in the road and block cars from going by, while other animals came to eat, then the Zebra would move enough for us to get by and pay, what we dubbed the Zebra toll. Lol. When we fed an Ostrich, they started pecking at my car door, when I brought my bucket in. I did not even care, and I love my car. But being up close and personal with these animals felt like a spiritual refill. Some let me pet them, I got to look some in the eye, and feel connection. I was not surprised by their intelligence. It felt like an honor to meet them at this level. Although the long horn steers worried me a bit, but they ended up acting like babies. They could have easily flipped my car. But instead they chose to lick my hand. Now don't get me wrong, these animals seemed aggressive at first to me. But they understood the assignment. They were just being who they are. Respect that, and you will have a great time. I saw some cars trying to maneuver by delicately to keep their car from getting damaged. We didn't even try. It's a lot more fun to just not worry about, like I said earlier we had no outside damage to the car. Now the inside we had spilled food all over. Hahaha! And I was NOT mad about it. They also have a restaurant, we didn't go in, but it looked nice and clean. We didn't go inside. Being a couple with no kids. We decided to eat elsewhere. I highly recommend trying this place out. Perfect for kids, couples, lone travelers. It was a completely different experience I have ever had. It worth a drive, perfect for a day trip.

Once when the shop was on east ridge road, and now in the current location, I believe it is on Culver and Norton. The owner is a smart A$$ and rude, especially to minorities or BLACK people, to be exact. Every comment out of his mouth is sarcastic and rude. The vibe of his establishment is a smug attitude and has a hint of prejudice. I visited with my daughter today, and they barely greeted us. We came looking to purchase a sump-ready tank but instead were met with a little man with a smart mouth. It took everything in me not to lash out. If I weren't with my kid, I probably would have, but instead, I let her see the fish, and I quickly left. The customer service level there is extremely LOW! and I would advise you not to go here. I wish i could give them negative stars

We had a great time with the grandkids at Stokoe farms today. We bought tickets for the petting zoo…read more- the 20 minute visit was long enough to see, pet, and interact with all the animals. The kids liked the kangaroos the best, the adults liked holding the baby kangaroos, but all of the animals were cool. All the staff were friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. From there we hopped on the wagon (dress warm!) to go get a Christmas tree. For $68, they have 3 types of trees to choose from - Douglas, Frazier & concord (?) and a discount tree area. Saws are available on the tractor/wagon or bring your own. I recommend bringing something to kneel on, but not essential. The ground is rocky, with stumps, so watch your step too. We found a nice tree - saw worked great - easy to load on the cart and staff got it on the back of the tractor. Back at the farm, staff took all the trees over to the bailer (see video) and we went inside to pay. Inside the gift shop there are snacks, fudge, and donuts plus stuffies, ornaments, and other knickknacks. We paid for the tree, picked it up outside, and loaded the tree on the car (bring cords, etc) and ate donuts on the way home. Everyone had a great time and we will probably come back next year!

Overall, I think if you're okay with the admission price, this is a fun place for families to spend a few hours!

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!!!
