Here's a winter break idea that is a family-friendly and a fun day trip to Corning, New York.

Things to do...

Corning Museum of Glass has 3,500 years of glass, the world's largest collection! Plan to spend a good couple of hours with glass galleries and glass-making demonstrations. Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
(607) 937-5371 Admission: $15 adults, 55+ $12.75, ages 19 and under free! Discounts for AAA and military.


Rockwell Museum of Western Art on Cedar Street is a fantastic museum of American Western and Native American Art. Open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission: $8 adults, 55+ $7, ages 19 and under are free! (607) 937-5386


Travel Tips: Use the Museum Shuttle Bus to go from one museum to the next. It's free! Also, if you're doing both museums, buy a combo ticket to save a few extra bucks!

Market Street is very walkable for shops, stores, and restaurants.
