11. Genesee Country Village and Museum admission
4.7· 9 reviewsVisit the largest living history museum in New York — 19th-century village with costumed interpreters, daily demonstrations, and beautiful gardens.
“Having visited at least 25 times since it opened in the 1970s, I find it continually improving, especially with Becky Wehle at the helm, who upholds her grandfather Jack Wehle’s vision. On this trip, we listened to Becky share future plans, encouraging feedback from members. We explored the Jack Wehle gallery, which featured 19th-century fashion exhibits. The staff member there was quite helpful in pointing us to highlights, including a stagecoach from Rochester. We also took an outer loop past the Shaker house and gardens before checking out the Village houses. A special thanks to Terry in the Hosmer Tavern for the delightful chocolate puffs and warm welcome. I noted that they are installing ramps for easier access to the 19th-century homes. Lastly, having attended various antique preview galas, I must mention that the catering has significantly improved under Becky’s leadership. It’s truly a privilege to visit this amazing place and escape the challenges of modern life for a while.”— Probateman
22. Bristol Mountain Aerial Adventure Park admission
3.6· 5 reviews· 3 hoursAccess to over 120 challenges, including zip lines and rope courses — suitable for all skill levels, with skills tested along the way.
“The ropes courses range from beginner to advanced levels. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and prioritize safety. We could work at our own pace while they monitored everything. It's a unique experience that challenges both the mind and body. I highly recommend it for individuals of all ages and skill levels.”— 183amyc
