Restaurants in East Rochester
1. Erie Canal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 187 reviews
The superhighway of pre-Civil War America, this marvel of human engineering and labor, built from Albany to Buffalo, opened up America's frontier to the west.
Reviewed By Shirley E - Fairport, New York
I love living within walking distance of the historic Erie Canal in the village of Fairport. The path along the canal is great for walking or cycling. The path is paved and well lit at night. Enjoyable to walk the path anytime of year. An added bonus is the variety of restaurants and shops in close proximity to the canal.
2. Mendon Ponds Park

Mendon Ponds Park is our favorite park in all of Monroe County. Hiking, walking the dog, canoeing, kayaking, snowshoeing, sledding, cross-country skiing, watching birds or the stars, picnicking, leaf peeping--this park has it all!! My husband and I love Mendon Ponds Park so much that we moved to be closer to it.
3. Corbett's Glen Nature Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 40 reviews
Reviewed By Freespirit134 - Rochester, New York
Suburban creek-side nature walk with well-established trails to follow. A charming spot for a stroll. Easy trails with gentle slopes, nothing difficult. Bring water shoes in warm weather in case wading in the creek is attractive to you! Plenty of walkers bring their dogs, and leashes are required, unless you want a ticket & fine. Weekends can get busy, and parking is limited. Be aware there are two places to enter the park, one off of Penfield Road, and the other off of Glen Road--an important clarification if you're planning to meet someone there.

Right up there with Nordstrom's in service and selection. Wife just came back and couldn't stop talking about the service people. She also bought a very expensive shawl, but the whole thing was worth it. Can't understand why the other places have forgotten that service sells. Great store, we'll be back.

Whether you go solo or with a group, Painting with a Twist is great fun. Experienced or not, you have the opportunity to complete a painting in one visit...and you can bring wine and snacks to enjoy during your session. This organization will also block out a time for a private party of 10 or more participants. Cost which includes instruction and all materials needed is very reasonable. Give it a try!
They can also host a children's party (no wine permitted)!
8. Big oak Driving Range
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 5 reviews
Reviewed By Larry W - Rochester, New York
Big Oak isn't really a "family entertainment area" as much as an old-fashioned golf driving range where you can work on your game with the added benefit of seasoned golf-pro instructors. It isn't fancy, and there are no miniature golf courses on the grounds. But it is a nice range, and the pro shop (and folks who work in there) are also great. I do recommend this place, especially later in the year after some of the other ranges have already shut down.

Reviewed By darjeelingfan - Rochester, New York
My husband and Have taken the Sam Patch Canal Tour several times and enjoyed it very much. We recently took out-of-town guests on a Saturday afternoon 4:00 PM tour and were miserable for the whole trip. We sat next to a large group of adults who talked (not about the canal ride but about personal things) in VERY loud voices for the entire trip. It was impossible to hear the tour guide explain the history of the canal, and the workings of the lock we went through--- and that's one of the most interesting aspects of the tour. What the group sitting next to us was there for, I have no idea, as they hardly looked around at the canal, or stopped talking. There were also several young children who kept running up and down the aisle between seats. I love kids and understand it's hard for them to just sit still, but their constant running and back and forth was distracting. Instead of a lovely peaceful late-afternoon cruise of the canal, our experience turned out to be totally stressful, with no chance to enjoy the beauty of the canal. I probably wouldn't go back.
