I just LOVED getting to visit this beautiful & clean park (on Saturday, 02/10/2024) while exploring…read moredowntown Rochester! With the brightly colored inspirational murals, the super cool playground, plenty of bench seating, & the ice skating rink, I was a little jelly that my hometown doesn't have its own Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park ;). Definitely a cool spot to visit & it's located directly across the street from the Strong Museum. Since we visited on a late afternoon, we had no issues finding a street parking spot nearby. Till next time, Rebecc

This review is for the ice skating rink which replaces the fountain and reflecting pool at the park…read morein the winter months. The rink is operational from Dec through mid March, as long as temps are above 45 degrees. There is a zamboni that is used to resurface the ice every couple or few hours, keeping it in pretty good shape. The rink is not that large, but it's a good size for an outside rink (as opposed to indoors rinks, which are larger because they are used for hockey). For the past few Decembers, Wegmans has generously sponsored the rink, so that skate 'rentals' and use of the rink are free up until New Years. You just have to wait in the line (which can be long at times!) to get your skates. When renting skates, they have figure-skating-style and hockey-style skates; they also have a wide ranges of sizes from small sizes for kids through all the adult sizes. They are periodically sharpening the skates too but beware that this is a public place and the skates you receive might not be that sharp. For those new to skating, the rink offers 'skate mates' which allow you to hold on to something and keep your balance while learning how to balance on the blades. This is a great option for little kids and adults that need extra stabilization. For 2024, they have a special event where you can skate for free if you bring a canned good for their food drive through Jan 15th. Then after that, the rink continues to operate but switches over to a paid model (prices vary). You can still rent skates or bring your own and just pay to use the rink. Note that if you bring your own skates, you can also get them sharpened onsite on Mondays and Tuesdays. Where to leave your stuff?? It's recommended to change into your skates inside the warming hut, but then take your shoes/boots outside and leave them under one of the tables or benches. Make sure NOT to walk on the concrete sidewalks with your skates on - stay on the rubber mats provided between the warming hut and rink - otherwise the surface of the skate blade can be damaged. There are also nearby bathrooms and the warming shelter includes a fireplace. The location has free parking all around, and at holiday times, coincides with the Rochester Holiday Village - which means it can be busy and parking can be a challenge, but there's also parking in the Strong museum garage.

Amazing addition to the town of Henrietta! So glad they made sure to have a nice large parking lot…read moreof so many people to be here at once. You have to have a membership to participate in the programs or the open gym and track areas. Membership fees for Henrietta residents $10 a year for adults 18-59, $5 a year for ages 5-17. Membership is free for Seniors, veterans and children 0-4. Non residents are $30 a year for adults and $15 a year for youth, seniors and veterans. Free for kids 0-4. Once you are a member you get a key tag for easy scanning. With so many different programs to do here such as gymnastics, pickle ball, soccer, volleyball, basketball and music classes... your best bet is to check out their website for a listing of activities. Some programs require additional fees. My niece has a blast with the preschool open gym. Only $40 for so much fun and activities. There are a lot of free activities here too, playing basketball on one of the courts is always popular. My favorite activity here is using the upstairs running/walking track. The track overlooks the basketball courts and gymnastics area. Nine times around the track equals a mile. You can also book one of the rec center rooms for your own events, see website for pricing. A nice alternative to other options in the area.

I like the way how they announce about activities and etc on tv screen which it helps us aware about what's going on and know which location do we need to go. They also can inform us the new room number if the class is changed or cancelled. They have labels where we can go to the destination which is fantastic!!! People who don't live in this residence will need to pay little more on activities. You need to pay a fee if you want to go to pool or track. Overall, it is a wonderful place to go!

The paths are lovingly maintained. I have visited in all seasons and conditions. Check out the town website for all of the community events hosted here as well as hours for the park and nature center. The historic home is open for tours and tells the story of the farm and family that owned it for 6 generations. There are restrooms near the parking lot area by the home. A small children's garden, a playground, a labyrinth /maze and exercise stations are just some of the things of note. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax and take in the views. This park is ADA compliant.

The fact that they have raised park tickets almost $30 per ticket within the last 4 years (50$…read moreadmission) just makes my mind up off the bat. I will never come here again. I could see if you have season passes. It would be worth coming here if you live in the area, but somebody like me wanting to enjoy nostalgic theme park trip to the place I grew up going to and my tickets were $50 a piece. Honestly, it makes me never want to bring my future kids here that pricing is just extremely disappointing and price gouging everybody. It's a tiny amusement park. It's not six flags... they have all of the same rides as they did when I grew up there. Nothing has been updated in at least 10 years other than the pricing The apparel they sell in shops are no less than $40 for stuff that obviously doesn't fit right. I washed my sweater once, and the sleeves are almost 8 inches smaller than they were when I bought them The food prices here are outrageous. And honestly, there's not many rides to choose from for the admission price if you really wanna look at it on a higher end scale. I understand that this is our small town amusement park, but the fees they charge, you might as well go to Six Flags or Darien Lake at that point. I live in Florida now and this was so expensive. I couldn't even believe it. These are not prices to charge for a tiny amusement park especially if you aren't adding new rides- realistically these are the same amount of admission to get into Disney than it is to get into here, and to me, I think that absolutely blows my mind. It's $20 cheaper to get into here than to Disney. I am 25 now -when I was 19 it was 17.00 a ticket whole day. It is now 50$ for adult admission I'm glad I got to stop by and see all of the nostalgia. Sincerely, nothing has changed in this amusement park since I was a kid, which is pretty cool, but the prices don't add up, especially because nothing has been updated I would really only recommend older adults coming here for nostalgia type thing, but if you want to take your kids here, you should spend your money elsewhere and get more/safer rides for the same price and a better value

This place is somewhat of a hidden gem. I agree with the first reviewer's overall assessment - nice…read morelittle area definitely worth checking out at some point, but nothing out of this world. I plan to come back later in the spring. There is very relaxing overall feel to the place, and the main tree by the stream kind of reminds me of that tree garden from Winterfell. If you follow the back trail to the end where it meets up with the Hojack Trail and keep going to the other side, there is some kind of obscure trail that continues on toward a stream, and that's worth checking out. Once you get there, there are so many overturned trees crisscrossing the stream, so you can pretty much get just about anywhere in that area regardless of the forks in the stream and general lack of bridges (there are a couple).

Cost is $15 and it includes skates while Horizons cost $5. Some of us bought new skates online to avoid wearing used. Once you get over the fact this is an old warehouse and there is no other roller skating rink to go to you become grateful there is somewhere to go to live out your youth . I don't like the metal plates which are part of the flooring as it's not easy to roll over when you travel to and from the rink but the rink itself is fine . It's a decent size to roller skate and it's not overly crowded so it works . Like anything in life it's the perspective and sometimes it's yourself and who you are with that makes or breaks the fun. We had about 10 of us in our party and we had a blast . We went on Thursday night adult night 7-10pm and dj mixed up mostly R&B but told us they would play more 80's when we came back. We plan to go again next month . People skating were smoking and happy .. saw some really good skaters too. This is what I focused on and I'm grateful we have somewhere to go skate among adults every single week is we wanted to. Sadly there are no lockers so plan to bring minimal extras and carry wallet on you. There is a smell of basement or what not but again .. this is only rink we have with adult night so if we focus on the fun we forget the rest ;)

a great staple to Irondequoit. I have a few memories of this place, mostly from when I was younger…read moretaking field trips with school or Girl Scouts. learned how to make candles and maple syrup, learned different things about nature of course and animals. They always keep some animals at the center itself and still do to this day (just not the exact same ones). I recently went back here, not just to donate my Christmas tree for their trails, but for a hike they scheduled with Irondequoit brewery. I haven't been around the trails or inside the center since I was a kid and it brought back so many fond memories. of course everything seemed smaller than I was remembering, but everything does as you get older. I enjoyed visiting the classroom and seeing the animal room learning about their newest ones, favorite being the bunny and owl. I felt quite nostalgic, but favorite part was going through the trails again. the guides were very knowledgable about the nature center, I even learned a few new things I didn't know about the land. especially that it use to be a grape farm. we did a sensory walk which was so nice to be able to focus on the sounds and sights of nature to get away from the busy life of the town. I wouldn't mind going back to these trails again since its so close to home and a short get away. they welcome people back to walk through at any time.

We came here for winter snowshoeing ($5/person for rentals, max $15/family, paid by cash or check)…read more It's from 1-3 on Saturdays as long as there's at least 6-8" of snow on the ground (check their Facebook for updates). There was ample parking, the person who helped us was nice and welcoming, and it's not very expensive. They have bins of snowshoes to choose from, sorted by weight/shoe size and the person is helpful in finding the right one for you. There are benches outside to put on/take off the snowshoes and there's a bit of a learning curve in figuring out how to do that, but it's part of the adventure. Unfortunately one of the straps on one of mine was broken, but it was still wearable and we got there at about 2:15 so I didn't want to take them both off to go inside and get a different pair. They give you a trail map, but I don't think the trails are very well-marked so the map is not super useful. Because you're surrounded by (well-signed) personal property on all sides, it doesn't feel like there is a lot of space. 45 minutes was really enough time for us (an adult couple). I don't know if we would come back here, but I think it was a good introduction to snowshoeing and we would check out another place next time. Definitely seems like a good family activity and they even have hot chocolate in the nature center!
