Finding the perfect spot to take a family getaway isn’t always an easy task. Not all cities offer enough kid-friendly activities to keep the young ones entertained. Luckily, however, that’s not the case with the city of Rochester! Your family has plenty of reasons to enjoy visiting this part of New York, so keep reading to learn more about them!
Seabreeze Amusement Park
Although this attraction has everything you would expect in an amusement park, technically it’s also a historical site! That’s because Seabreeze Amusement Park first opened its doors in 1879! Since then it has grown over years and added newer state-of-the-art rides and games.
There is even a giant waterpark that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you love the speed and excitement of fast roller coasters and waterslide or want to kick back on a lazy river, the Seabreeze Amusement Park will keep you and the family entertained for hours.
The Clubhouse Fun Center
Strap into your go-karts and race against your family members to see who the best driver is! The Clubhouse Fun Center has go-karts with single and double seats (for less experienced drivers), as well as mini-golf and a snack house where you can satisfy your hunger after a long day of racing and mini-golfing.
Ontario Beach Park
This beautiful beach comes courtesy of the calm waters of Lake Ontario. The park provides a nice setting for a picnic or walks along the boardwalk. There are also restaurants and barbecue spots serving up some delicious grub. Throughout the year various concerts are held at the park, so don’t forget to check the schedule to see if you can plan your trip around one.
Abbott’s Frozen Custard
If any family members have a sweet tooth that needs satisfying, be sure to add this spot to the itinerary. Not far from Lake Ontario is this custard shop that first opened to the public in 1926. Since then it has opened several franchise locations, most of which are located in this city. The custard they make will have your kids drooling so make sure you stop in and try one (or some) of the many delicious flavors.
Museum & Science Center
Learning can be fun too, and if you want to add an educational element to your family trip, the RMSC has got it all! This museum features many exhibits about nature and it’s powerful forces, and also about the history of science and innovation. There’s also an area where you will find yourself face to face with some pretty incredible robot technology and even speak to real inventors.
Not tired yet? Strap in your virtual seatbelts because throughout the year, different virtual simulations allow you to take different adventures. This varies on the month you visit so be sure to check the museum’s website for more details.
