Rochester - Family

The Gem on the Genesee awaits with a dazzling medley of things to do in Rochester, New York. Also called The World’s Image Center (it’s the birthplace of Kodak), Rochester events and attractions always keep Western New York in focus. Catch local sports and entertainment at venues like the Blue Cross Arena, Kodak Center and West Herr Auditorium Theatre, take in historic collections at the George Eastman Museum, or experience first-rate performances at the Eastman School of Music and annual Rochester International Jazz Festival. From the Lake Ontario shores in the north to the Finger Lakes down south, Rochester culture flows through the Genesee Valley.
