Family Fun in Letchworth and Beyond

Let the adventure begin! Arrive in Wyoming County and kick things off with a bite to eat at Wolf Creek Deli. This spot serves crowd-pleasing favorites like burgers, wings, quesadillas, and mac and cheese – perfect fuel for kids and parents alike!

After lunch, take the family on a visit to the Coca-Cola Barn Museum. This quirky roadside stop is a fun and unexpected way to dive into some local flair, stretch your legs and admire this impressive collection.

Next, treat yourselves to something sweet at Yummies Ice Cream. With a rotating selection of 150 unique homemade hand-dipped flavors, soft-serve, Dole Whip, milkshakes and more, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy!

When it’s time to settle in, choose from a range of family-friendly lodging options. Campgrounds offer the perfect excuse for roasting marshmallows (s’mores, anyone?), while rental properties and hotels make for easy and convenient stays. You’ll also find group-friendly options through Dell Collective for larger families or reunions.

Cap off your first day with one of the county’s most beloved experiences: dinner and a movie at the Charcoal Corral & Silver Lake Twin Drive-In! Order up kid-favorite handhelds like hot dogs, cheeseburgers, broasted chicken dinners or pizza, then head to the drive-in next door for a double feature under the stars.

Rise and shine – time for breakfast! Grab a cozy meal at Parkside Diner, a hometown favorite serving up breakfast plates, pancakes and omelets. Or, swing by Heavy Evy’s Grab N Go for quick and tasty breakfast sandwiches that are perfect for families on the move.

Next, explore the wonder of Letchworth State Park, known as the Grand Canyon of the East. Walk the scenic trails and check out the stunning waterfalls. Don’t miss the Humphrey Nature Center, where the kids can enjoy engaging exhibits, a butterfly garden and bird-watching stations, or the Autism Nature Trail, a mile-long interactive hike that is open to everyone.

If you are looking for a quick treat near the park, check out Old Souls Bakery or Old Souls Gelato in Perry. Be sure to stop by Act 4 Books for all kinds of books, games and puzzles that the kids can enjoy.

Hungry from all that adventuring? Head to The Indian Bistro for a relaxed and flavorful lunch. This welcoming family-run restaurant offers a mix of classic Indian cuisine alongside Mediterranean dishes and kid-friendly options.

All aboard! Your next stop is a visit to the Arcade & Attica Railroad, the only steam train in New York State operating regular passenger excursions. Watch your kids light up as they step back in time and enjoy the scenic countryside by rail.

Then, head over to Coop’s Red Caboose in Arcade for fun family activities like giant checkers, corn hole, Jenga and mini golf. If all that friendly competition has caused you to work up an appetite, enjoy their menu of classic goodies like hot dogs, fries, burgers, chicken fingers and Perry’s ice cream.

After your afternoon adventures, make your way to Strike at the Arcade Lanes Restaurant & Bar. This full-service restaurant and entertainment center offers delicious comfort food like juicy burgers, loaded nachos, specialty pizzas, wraps and wings. When the plates are cleared, hit the lanes for some bowling – now is the time to redeem yourself from golf earlier in the day!

As your trip winds down, enjoy a hearty breakfast at Farmhouse Café, known for its inviting atmosphere and famous pancakes!

Make your way to Llama Adventures, where kids (and grown-ups!) will love getting up close with these gentle animals on a family-friendly walk or meet-and-greet experience. Each walk is personalized, giving families a chance to connect with the animals while learning about their unique personalities, behaviors and care. Be sure to book ahead on their website!

Before hitting the road, grab a slice of pizza from a local favorite like Marco’s Pizza and Subs, perfect for a quick, satisfying slice or sandwich on the go. And don’t forget to make one final sweet stop at a nearby ice cream shop or farm stand, like Laura’s Cakes and More, for a treat to remember your trip by.
