Fun Places To Go & Things To Do :)

my own compilation of local businesses & activities that you might not know about if you're not from this area.... this is one of the positive qualities of an airbnb because your host Gary has lived here all his life (He's 80!), so he can tell you all about local businesses, the town's history (he was a well-known developer in WesternNY), and share his experiences & recommendations that you can't get from those chain hotels! thanks for looking & as always, please feel welcome to ask any questions or leave us any feedback! - Justine (Meadowbrook Admin)
This is the local ice rink in the winter and roller rink in the summer. Its reasonably priced, they have skate rentals and a snack bar.... This can be family fun during open skate (check schedule for times) or a fun night out with music and lights, usually Friday nights and mostly for teens.

This is the local movie theater in the city of Batavia, and only about a 5 minute drive from Meadowbrook! They show 2 feature films at a time, usually the latest popular movies. They have a snack bar with the expected popcorn & candy & refreshments. They also recently remodeled. One of the movies is usually a family movie (or PG rating) and the other movie showing would be something for adults (R rated). Tickets are around $8-$10 on average but check out their website for exact details. ** Fun Fact: In the 70s, Gary (your host) took over the project of building the Genesee Country Mall, where the theater is located. You can actually read about it on his wall - he keeps memoirs & interesting photos on the wall going up the stairs in the main living room! **
