Springdale Farm

Reviewed By BRENDA M

What a fun relaxing place to enjoy nature and farm animals! They do a nice job at the farm and they help adults who are challenged with a disability and do it for donations. Teach your children a few lessons about animals and farming, go on a romantic interlude with your mate, visit the Enchanted forrest and read a big book in a natural classroom. DO it all at Springdale Farm!

They have pick your own strawberries and blueberries. We had a great experience of picking our own strawberries. They have delicious but kind of pricey baked goods and other items. If you can afford the price of the baked goods,I would recommend you to try them all. They are really delicious. They are very nice and friendly people.

Lake Ontario Winery

Reviewed By labpac4 - Rochester, NY

Live in the area and we were doing a bike ride and thought what a great place to grab a bite and check it out. We sat for about 20 minutes without so much as a nod of the head from any of the wait staff. Finally, disgusted we left. Never been back, probably never will. I don't care how busy a place is, you always at least acknowledge the customer.

My granddaughters first birthday party was at one of the lodges in Pine Way Ponds Park. Boetcher lodge was very nice, new, bright, clean, heated - the kitchen was nice, lots of outlets...it ended up being a rainy day for us, but innice weather their is a little playground and "spray park" where animal figures spray water out. Also a little pond.

Kirby's Farm Market

Reviewed By SailorBoy55 - New York

Driving back to Rochester on our way from Orleans County and found this on the south side of 104. Picked up some homegrown tomatoes and white potatoes, both reasonably priced. Also had homegrown rhubarb and asparagus as this is the growing season for those items. They had cookies, desserts, apples, and a lot of greenhouses and plants for sale in the spring season. Very pleasant staff.

Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum

The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is located in a historic trolley depot that sits along the banks of the Erie Canal in Spencerport, NY. The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is a small museum and visitor center. The museum houses collections related to the Erie Canal, transportation, communication, and local history on its main level. Downstairs there are restroom facilities for boaters traveling the Erie Canal. The museum operates during the canal season and is run primarily through the efforts of volunteers.

Reviewed By Larry W - Rochester, New York

The Spencerport Depot & Canal Museum is a very locally-oriented piece of history that has become a labor of love for the local people (especially senior citizens) of Spencerport. The building itself is over 100 years old, having been an early train depot that has been moved at least twice during its existence. Rescued from the brink of destructions on more than one occasion, the building has served as a train depot, a private residence, and a museum, as well as several periods when it was vacant and in the advanced stages of falling apart.

This small museum was moved to its current location in 2005, and then completely renovated through over 80,000 hours of individually-donated work. Everything was hand-worked, right down to the beautiful furniture that graces the interior.

Everything about this inside of this building is about education. Not only are there displays about the Erie Canal itself, but of the local community, the Ogden phone company, a farmers' library, and more. The people who staff this museum love what they do and it shows. They will gladly talk to you on almost any topic covered by the museum, and their passion for the subject shows.

This museum won't take you long to get through, as it is entirely contained within a couple of small rooms. However, it is worth the stop, especially if you are in the area. I do recommend it.

Brockport's Strand Theater

Reviewed By bill K - Spencerport, ny

The theatre itself is a nice community movie theatre and has been around for about 100 years. I just went back for the first time in 25 years to see the new "Captain America: Civil War" movie which was the first film I have seen there since the Bond film "The Living Daylights". back then it was 1 big theatre but it has since been broken up into three smaller theaters. The seats are older and the bathroom could probably use some modern upgrades but the theatre does have some charm despite this.

The front entrance contains the old projector that had been used for decades to show films but has since been upgraded (it would have been the projector I had seen that Bond film on). It is nice seeing that bit of history with what looks like might be one of the oldest movie theaters in the country.

So you don't have the big luxury seating that is becoming more commonplace but it is nice to see an old theatre still in use and serving a community like Brockport.

Reviewed By spino18 - Rochester. NY

The Unique Shop is well-named; this is my go-to source for unusual, tasteful, and affordable gifts I won't find in the franchise shops at the mall. There's a wonderful selection of greeting cards, too. I enjoy shopping locally, and the Unique Shop has saved me many a trip to the "big city".

Reviewed By Steve31Penang - Penang

Since finding Jill's Antique Shop I have visited many times, either alone or with family members. We first discovered the shop enemy we moved to Brickport. We have actually partially furnished our new home with items purchased from Jill's. I enjoy visiting quite often with an eye opened for new and different special finds. The ownerJill is knowledgeable and always friendly. I enjoy our chats even when I don't buy anything. I highly recommend a visit to Jill's for an exploration into the past and a friendly chat.
