Canandaigua Sailboards

15% off hourly kayak and paddleboard rentals

I have personally used Canandaigua Sailboards and had such a great experience it is what prompted me to invest in my own kayak! It's easily accessible right at the tip of the lake in Kershaw Park with plenty of places to grab food or drinks before or after your ride!

Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse

Open May - October, this is one spot in Rochester I think everyone should see! Inside the museum are historical pictures of what the lakefront looked like as Rochester was being built up filled with resorts and hotels.

Corning Museum of Glass 

One free adult museum admission. Kids and teens 17 and under are always free! Live glassblowing daily. 10% discount on memberships.

CMOG is truly fun for the whole family! There are many live glass blowing demonstrations and no shortage of art to see throughout the museum! Corning is definitely worth the day trip from Rochester. Come hungry, some of my favorite restaurants in the region are in Corning!

Finger Lakes Boating Museum

Good for Group Rate entry to the museum of $8/person

I've never met people as passionate about their work as the people who work at the Finger Lakes Boating Museum. Located on the former Taylor Winery campus the property is filled with local art and history! While not on this list for discounted admission, if you go down to Hammondsport to visit the Boating Museum, be sure to also check out the Glenn Curtiss Museum.

Genesee Country Village and Museum

$3 off admission for up to four people.

GCVM is a living history museum with interpreters dressed in period clothing excited to tell you all about local history!

George Eastman Museum

There is no wrong time to visit the Eastman Museum. In the summer the gardens are filled with beautiful flowers, at Christmas Time the home is decorated and is filled with community decorated gingerbread houses, in February for Dutch Connection there are tulips throughout the mansion! While those are 3 of my favorite times to visit, you can't go wrong with the time of year! Come hungry! Inside the museum, "Open Face" is one of my favorite local restaurants. You do not need to pay admission if you are just visiting the restaurant

Mount Hope Cemetery Tours

One free adult admission to any general or theme tour (Not valid for special events: Voices from the Beyond and We’ve Hauled Some Barges in Our Day).

When I share all my nerdy facts I know about Rochester, a LOT of them I learned through tours at Mount Hope Cemetery! Cemetery tours aren't necessarily ghost tours, although I have been on ghost tours at Mount Hope as well. Think of it as a historical information tour. While it is a cemetery, Mount Hope was actually designed to be like a park to encourage visitation! Also, fun fact, there are more people buried in Mount Hope Cemetery than currently living in the City of Rochester.

National Susan B. Anthony House

Two free admissions from March through December and four free admissions during January and February.

I didn't visit the Susan B. Anthony House for the first time until I was like 19 or 20 and honestly, if there is ONE THING I wish I didn't wait so long to do in Rochester, it's visit her home. It is so empowering hearing her story, seeing the room she was arrested in, it is definitely a special place in Rochester for sure. I'm assuming if you live in Rochester, you know who she is, but in the event you don't, she was a huge suffragette advocating for women's rights here in Rochester!

To the left is a picture of me with my "I Voted" sticker, I was able to vote early at her home in the 2024 election.
