Sights to See

Buffalo offers several unique and fun attractions for people of all ages, and the best part is that they can cost little to no money.  One of them, the Niagara Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world.  While it is not technically located in Buffalo, NY, it is only 17 miles north-northwest of the city.  People from all over the world come to see the Niagara Falls; the most powerful waterfalls in North America.  Visitors can participate in the Maid of the Mist which is a boat ride through the falls, or can come after dark to simply enjoy the falls illuminated by floodlights as shown in the photo.

The Buffalo Zoo is the second largest attraction in Western New York, after the Niagara Falls.  The zoo offers its visitors the experience to view a wide variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and more than 320 different species of plants.  It attracts around 400,000 visitors each year and offers several events throughout the summer.

The Buffalo Museum of Science is a great attraction for kids as well as adults.  The museum offers interactive education about various science topics including dinosaurs, astronomy, plant life, gems and minerals, as well as zoology.  It also offers several events throughout each month including guided tours and wellness walks.

The final attraction of Buffalo, NY that I will be discussing is the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens.  It is described by its website as "a national historic site, education center and tourist destination full of exotic horticulture treasures."  The conservatory is made up of three glass domes and nine greenhouses containing topical and exotic plants.  Visitors can attend tours of the gardens, or even plan an event in their lush special event house.
