What are some cool things to do in Rochester, NY?

Question

I'll be there next month to visit friends for about a week. I think the weekend is planned already and I believe that among the things we're doing is hitting up some brewfest in Ithaca. But I'm going to have some time on my hands to do things on my own. I was last there in March, but there was snow and I was more interested in heading down to NYC, so I'm not really certain what all there is to do in the area. I'm into history and museums, BTW, and of course socializing and nightlife.

Answer 1

Two definite stops -- the George Eastman house, and the Strong Museum of Play. See the below link for details.

If you feel like traveling a little bit, there's the Jello Museum in Leroy, Letchworth State Park, and the Women's Rights National Park in Seneca Falls. Downtown has sporting venues (baseball, soccer, hockey, etc.) and some nice views of the Riverfront.
