If the walking tour of Buffalo's downtown leaves you wanting to see more of the city, here are two suggestions that you may want to try:

See Buffalo from the water with Miss Buffalo Cruises. This line offers a variety of day, evening and weekend cruises in-season. Some cruises offer dining and dancing with live music. Boats depart from Marine Drive, by the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park. Before leaving, you might want to stop by the Lower Lakes Marine Historical Society to learn more about the history and biology of the lakes you will travel through.

See Buffalo or Niagara Falls from the air! Buffalo Airfield will give you a bird's-eye view of Buffalo or Niagara Falls from their Cessna 172 aircraft. The Buffalo flight is 30 minutes long and the Niagara Falls flight is 45 minutes and includes Buffalo too.

Downtown


Buffalo
United States
It is here that the 1929 Art Deco masterpiece, Buffalo City Hall, rises high above the tree tops. Also note the French Renaissance-style Ellicott Square Building finished in 1896 as the largest office building in the world at that time.

You would expect a lake city to offer great cruises, and Miss Buffalo does jus that offering afternoon, evening and weekend cruises. The afternoons are the most sedate, while the weekends are party cruises with live bands, dancing and a bar. The cruise takes you under the Peace Bridge and through the historic Black Rock Lock and Channel, with great views of Buffalo. There are brunch, lunch and dinner cruises and there's even a Murder Mystery Dinner. See website for charter info and more.
