My in-laws live in Rochester and we are headed up there quite often over the next few months. Does anyone have any fun things we can do while there with our 1 year old?

I've never been there but I have heard amazing things about the Children's Museum there.

The Strong Museum of Play is absolutely fantastic for kiddos and babes of any age. I can't recommend it highly enough. You must go there.
The Seneca Park Zoo is also good - small enough not to be overwhelming for a little one but big enough to have some fun exhibits.
Powers Farm Market (in Pittsford) is also worth a visit. They always have stuff going on.
Your LO might be too small to really enjoy it yet but the Genesee Country Village museum is interesting and often has events. The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum does Fall foliage rides on real trolleys and trains.
Cummings Nature Center is nice. Bristol Mountain is great with kids once there's snow. Ganondagon is a restored Seneca village and they sometimes have storytelling events and such things that might be fun.
Definitely get out and about and enjoy all the many parks in the area. Letchworth is a personal favourite outside the city, Highland Park within.
Places that might be cool for mom & dad but short enough not to totally wind LO up include Eastman House and Artisan Works. Oh and the Susan B Anthony House.
I have more ideas if you'll be there in the Summer months. Rochester is my "American" home. It's a great little city for families. Enjoy!

@OldEnglandMama: thanks!! We're not far from Rochester, but we're not from the area. These are awesome ideas!

@OldEnglandMama - wow thank you SO much! These are great ideas and I can't wait to try all of them. If you don't mind sharing Summer ideas I'd love to hear them, as all of these sound like a hit.
Thanks again!
