See the full breakdownWeekends, 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, arriving by 2:00 PM, one visit per scheduled day. Each weekend, one day goes to last names A to K and the other to L to Z, so a family gets one day a weekend, not two. Weekday holidays are visiting days too, from September 7, 2026. Albion is one of 18 facilities a free visitor bus serves, run in partnership with the state, and it sits about forty minutes west of Rochester.
