Virgil Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Hey everyone, I’m making two trips to Buffalo soon and I’m trying to break up the normal rhythm of all the normal wing joints, Niagara falls, and Bills stuff. Any suggestions of places to visit or things to do? I’ll have my gf and daughter with me. It’s honestly kinda crazy to me that I don’t already know, as I’ve been making these trips for 30+ years, but it’s always been the same ritual Quote

BillsPride12 Posted July 20 Posted July 20 I enjoy spending time at Niawanda Park. It's a beautiful place to walk along the water, there's a little amphitheater over there and sometimes there will be local bands or school children doing little concerts, you can walk over to Old Man River and Mississippi Mudds for food and ice cream. Would be a nice way to spend some time with your gf and daughter. Not a very touristy thing to do, but it's how many of the locals spend some time outdoors which is what I think your looking for 4 Quote

Another Fan Posted July 21 Posted July 21 The Darwin Martin house was very cool even for someone like me that isn't the biggest Architecture guy. The Buffalo Zoo is right down the street from it 9 1 Quote

Wing places, Niagara Falls, and Bills clothing shops. Staying near the airport, but no issues driving anywhere Quote

There aren’t tons of things to do that aren’t centered around food. Edited July 21 by Kirby Jackson 1 Quote
