Embark on the Rochester Audio Tour: Bridges, Beats & Icons Unveiled

Underneath Rochester’s bustling streets and modern facades lies a city built on fierce rivalries and playful secrets. A silent rebellion once echoed through Midtown Plaza’s corridors. Legendary athletes and rock stars brought the Blue Cross Arena alive with scandal and victory. Years of wild invention and childhood dreams swirl within the National Toy Hall of Fame.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to unlock the city’s hidden chapters. Walk in the footsteps of politicians, rebels, visionaries, and pranksters. Discover stories that most visitors never hear.

What sparked chaos beneath Midtown’s glassy roof? Which performer’s outburst at Blue Cross Arena changed the city’s nightlife forever? Why does a certain dusty board game keep resurfacing in toy archives?

Roam from echoes of protest to playground nostalgia. Experience Rochester’s heart through stories pulsing up from every sidewalk.

Ready to step beyond the obvious? Press play to uncover the layers below Rochester’s surface.
