Enjoy time outdoors and observe nature at Tinker Nature Park in the Hansen Nature Center, and the Tinker Homestead Museum. Walk or jog along the natural trails to travel across a well-maintained park that is home to a historic cobblestone museum with a wildlife observation deck, herb garden and more. Nature and exercise are familiar friends here.

Blooming treasures abound at the Ellwanger Gardens in Rochester. Discover a historic landscape that was originally the private garden of 19th century horticulturist George Ellwanger. The garden is a symphony of purples, pinks, yellows, reds, and blues surrounded by majestic trees and endless walk ways. Plan ahead for this treasure, it's open during the city's much anticipated Lilac Festival.
