"Eventually"
This is a place I'd like to take my kids, but haven't yet. I remember enjoying it when I was young, seeing the animals inside and out, and we adopted our dog from there. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we can't wait to take a day and go out there.

"Educational and free!"
My daughter is 7 now and we have been visiting Lollypop many times since she was a baby. This is a great place to go outdoors where you can get a little exercise and fresh air, while learning some fun facts about the animals they have rescued. Indoors there is an adoption center for dogs, cats, and other small animals. Of course you would need to pay money with adoption of a pet, but outside there is a dirt path that takes you on a loop to see various animals such as horses, pigs, llama, geese, goats and cows which is no charge. The path is smooth enough for a stroller, but it can get muddy if there's been some rain or melted snow. There are signs at each animal station that give some facts about the animals. The loop is a good walk for anyone older than 3 I'd say. It is very family friendly there. You can even bring your dog along for a walk too so long as they are well behaved and won't scare the other animals. If you visit in warmer weather, you could pack a picnic lunch and have a bite to eat outside on one of the picnic tables. Also if you wanted to spend more time in the area, there is a little trail near the fenced in horse area that takes you next door to Egypt Park where there is a small playground, more picnic tables and tennis courts. There are sidewalks and trails all over the place near Lollypop too, so you could walk or bike for quite awhile if you brought your bikes along. I prefer visiting in the summer and fall. The trees surronding Lollypop are beautiful! This is a great place to see some animals with your kids while getting some exercise too.

"Lollypop Farm Going to the Dogs?"
I used to volunteer and contribute money to Lollypop Farm. My involvement there exposed me to many disturbing trends, ultimately too many to just be a coincidence. I saw staff firings surrounded in secrecy, discrimination and other lawsuits, claims of sexual misconduct by their CEO, severe regulatory and legal non-compliance, and most disturbing, the fact nearly all staff agree with Lollypop’s mission, but acutely loathe the organization and their CEO. The last straw was Lollypop embarking on a $4 million remodel of their ten year old shelter. With thousands of animals still being exterminated unnecessarily every year, I could no longer give my time or money to this organization. Rochester needs a spay and neuter clinic that is affordable, we need a shelter near our home in Greece, we need leaders that speak the truth and act with integrity. I think Lollypop has become too fat. They have lost sight of the fact they are here to serve the unwanted pets of our community, not to exterminate them and keep getting bigger and richer no matter what the cost.

"Lollypop Farm"
Lollypop Farm is the Humane Society located in Fairport. It has tons of cats and dogs to go and see, which the kids love, and then smaller animals, like rabbits as well. They often have many farm animals, such as pigs inside. While outside they have a petting zoo where kids can go and pet goats. There are horses to be seen as well as water birds, emu, cows, bulls, and llama. It's a great place to go for a picnic as well, with a pavilion located on site, and just down the road, sort of next door, is a playground.
