Proudly Serving Batavia NY

    Batavia is where Western New York began. The rich area that now comprises this part of the state, including Rochester and Buffalo, grew from the early establishment at Batavia. Over two hundred years after its founding, Batavia is a vibrant and wonderful place to live.

    Part of what makes Batavia so great is all of the fun things to do. For instance, it might surprise to find out that Batavia features an indoor water park. Palm Island Indoor Water Park is a favorite spot among locals, with thrilling water slides, arcade, good eats and all at a great price. Or if you are just looking for a good reason to get out of the house and satisfy your sweet tooth, visit Oliver's Candies, a Batavia staple.

    Like to try your hand at games of chance? Batavia Downs has got you covered. It's a cool place to hang out, get some food and play fun entertainment games. You can even catch harness racing from July to December.

    If you enjoy the outdoors, Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge is just a half-hour drive from Batavia. Once there, you can explore the trails and variety of landscape, as the refuge features emergent marshes, forested wetlands, and grasslands. Be sure and bring your binoculars. Bald Eagles are known to nest in the refuge.

    When you are in the mood for history, check out the Holland Land Office Museum in downtown Batavia, which has thousands of artifacts from Western New York history.

    These days Batavia still thrives as a small yet bustling community. It's an enriching place to live, made special by the beautiful landscape, fun things to do, great schools and lots of great community events all year round.
