You feel as if you go back in time. There are many ushers so it's impossible to get lost. The place is very clean too. The only downside to the theatre is parking. Almost can never find street parking and the parking lot closest fulls up fast and can be costly.

Come and sample items from over 100 local food purveyors breweries wineries restaurants etc. If you are used to coming down to the market on Saturday, parking for this even is not bad at all. Entrance on Railroad Street had a much shorter line than the Union Street entrance. You get a tote bag, a wine glass and a tasting plate when you arrive. Wander for three hours tasting your favorite samples.. some vendors offered special discount coupons and a few places had items for sale.

If ever you are at the museum this is a great place to visit.

It took us around 20-25 minutes to walk around then it was time to get on line for the show. We had purchased our tickets ahead of time. They have senior and military discounts with ID. The "Night Sky" show lasted about 45 minutes, it was extremely interesting and well narrated live by one of the employees. There were several children there of all ages but they were so quiet and totally absorbed with the show. I would definitely visit again and see another show. Parking was right next to the building and was free.

The place is so adaptable to change... It's been remodeled a few times, with some much needed improvements. I've enjoyed so many very different events here, most recently beyond Van Gogh, a food tasting experience, Lego day and roller derby. They even hosted getting your Covid shot here because of the size of this place... So much space.

It's a nice space with lots of parking, and relatively easy to get out of when lots of people leave at once. Decent bathrooms (although paper towels would be nice). Their website is not currently working, but their Facebook page seems to be current. Hopefully as things start to go back to normal, they'll get some more cool events.

Not only is it free and a chance to see some amazing color at the end of winter (a time of year that can a look a little drab), but even the food and venders are reasonably priced. I just got a large slice of pizza from Salvatore's for $4 and a bag of popcorn from Doc Popcorn for $3. A nice lunch for a Friday afternoon. I love walking around and finding all the little details that Airigami has included in their installation, it's like a life sized look and find. There is also a small store, with a photo booth ($5 for a keepsake photo). Just like last year they have created some events to tie into the exhibit, including an Enchantment Under the Sea Dance--with a nod to Back to the Future (2015--get it?). The dance is sponsored by Yelp Rochester. There will also be another popping party this year, where participants will get to pop the balloons (with golf tees I heard) and discover prizes inside the balloons ($10 a ticket). Can't wait to come back later this week with my family and my good camera. I always love seeing the creative things Airigami can do. They also do custom installations for meetings, conventions, parties and even weddings--in fact they created a piece at the Rochester Makers Faire for the NYSCATE Convention at the Convention Center back in November, which was really fun to watch them build. I hope this event continues to grow.

Calvin has local interns from the Rochester Works program a d exhibits local artists weekly. This was a very friendly place to go. Rebecca the Cheese monger, from Hart's grocery, served NY State cheeses and local craft beer and made everybody feel educated on how fun it can be to serve cheese, on boards with dried or fresh fruit charcuterie, nuts and more alongside adult beverages for appetizers or as part of a cheese course. There were a wide range of people in attendance. I love seeing locals come back to the Rochester area and renovate historical properties and rebuild areas that have been part of Rochester's unique history. I wish parking was a bit better, but if you are lucky you can catch a spot on Main street or one of the side roads. Fun times. I wish I could do half points as this would get a 4.5 as a fun place to put together a small gathering near the Susan B. Anthony house.

I've attended drop in and refresher improv classes here and can't say enough good things about the instructors and feel. If you're brand new to improv or a bit more seasoned, The Focus likely has an offering to meet your needs. They have a new space in the Sibley Building downtown, and are building up to more performances and offerings there in the coming weeks. I am looking forward to getting back sometime in the very near future and can't wait to see the amazing things they cook up.
