The museum is a combination of natural history, human history, and hands-on science exhibits. All three floors have both hands-on exhibits and history exhibits which keeps it interesting for kids and adults. The hands-on exhibits are fairy typical and almost all of them are in working order. The natural history exhibits cover the ice age, early sea creatures, and mastodons.
Human history focuses on the Native American experiences, Rochester in 1838, and the Underground Railroad. A thought provoking exhibit titled
Objectively Racist features a large collection of items with commonly used racist caricatures that perpetuated stereotypes. The items were contributed by Doug Belton who began collecting after he noticed the images on sheet music that he found in thrift shops.
The museum is accessible but some of the hands-on exhibits can not be experienced from a seated position.
There are five parking areas. P3 is the largest and best for RVs which will fit if parked through the spaces or lengthwise across the spaces. Museum 43.15143, -77.58683
