Tantalize all your senses in the beautiful natural settings of western New York. Join naturalists in a perfect location for exploring with your grandchild as you immerse yourself in fun activities evoking the richness of the natural world through all five senses. Take a blindfolded hike through the woods together, feeling the ground underfoot, warmed by the sun overhead and hearing the breeze in the leaves. Take your sharpened senses on a night hike to learn how bats �see� and owls hear and to decode the messages that fireflies send each other. Visit the Roger Tory Peterson Institute and the Seneca Nation Museum, learning of others who honed their wild senses. People are animals, too, remember.

Jamestown

Jamestown is the hometown of comedienne Lucille Ball, Nuremberg Judge and Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, and Roger Tory Peterson, the ornithologist whose collection is housed at the Peterson Institute of Natural History. Its location on Chautauqua Lake provides access to boating and fishing and the world-renowned Chautauqua Institution.
