Why you should go…
The Strong is a collections-based museum devoted entirely to play, grown from the personal collection of Rochester native Margaret Woodbury Strong. Its interactive exhibits fill more than a city block and include the National Toy Hall of Fame, the World Video Game Hall of Fame, a carousel, a train and the Skyline Climb. The Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden is an indoor butterfly garden inside the museum. A 2023 expansion added the ESL Digital Worlds exhibit and the Hasbro Game Park.
