The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY has a very serious ambition: to facilitate learning and human development through play. Adults and kids alike love this newly expanded museum that’s so full of interactive activities, you could easily spend two days here. Pilot a helicopter, explore the set of Sesame Street, produce your own TV commercials and cooking shows, or ride a historic carousel. Experience life in the 19th century as you learn to pump water, churn butter, and scrub clothes on a washboard. There are also special summer parades, concerts, storytelling, and activities in the events calendar. Check out the 1000-gallon coral reef aquarium and the outdoor Discovery Garden where there are plenty of winding paths to explore. The popular Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden requires an extra admission fee and advanced tickets are recommended. No visit is complete without walking through the National Toy Hall of Fame that features dozens of America’s favorite toys from the past including that most versatile of playthings – the cardboard box.
