OUTDOOR EXCITEMENT IN GENESEE TOUR

Take Route 63 north, and turn left on Casey Road to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. Observe nature at its best! Visit the headquarters lodge or step into nature and walk through the Refuge's structured trails. Witness the arrival of Canadian Geese from March to April and the fall migration from mid-September to October. Over 20,000 people attend the hatching in late April of the endangered bald eagles.

Depart Iroquois via Route 63 south to Route 77 south and stop for lunch at a restaurant of your choice. Continue south on Route 77 to Darien Lake Theme Park Resort for a full afternoon of fun-filled entertainment. Enjoy over 100 rides, shows, and attractions; a 2,000-site campground; and a 20,000-plus capacity performing arts center, which showcases top national recording artists. The park features five world-class coasters headlined by the Superman-Ride of Steel coaster, one of the tallest and longest in North America; Popeye's Seaport; Hook's Lagoon water adventure park; and Crocodile Isle, which includes a giant wave pool and two-story sun deck. Camp under the stars or stay the night at our Lodge on the Lake Hotel.

Dine in one of our fine restaurants or enjoy dinner and a night at the races at Batavia Downs Race Track and Exhibition Center, the oldest pari-mutuel nighttime harness track in North America. Relax in the elegant clubhouse, and enjoy a great view of the live racing (August 5 - November 30). Simulcasting continues year-round in the Niatross Room. Return to your hotel for a restful evening.

Optional activities include taking in a Batavia Muckdogs Baseball Game, the farm club of the Philadelphia Phillies at Dwyer Stadium; or go-karting excitement at the Gravel Pit Family Entertainment Center.
