EscapeWizard.com suggests starting your vacation with a cruise in Buffalo’s Outer Harbor. There are several options available from a landmark cruise, Buffalo River cruise, and the Lock and Canal cruise. All three options can be purchased for a minimal fee with a discount for children. EscapeWizard.com knows that taking in the sites of the city from the water is the best way to get your trip started in Buffalo.
The next stop not to be missed is the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens on South Park Avenue. This establishment gives visitors the opportunity to view vegetarian from all over the world such as the Florida Everglades to a Panama rainforest and a variety of other options. The admission is only six dollars and seniors, students, and children receive a discount on their ticket. EscapeWizard.com knows you will not be disappointed at the Botanical Gardens.
Another exciting stop in Buffalo would be to take a tour of the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. The building located on 641 Delaware Avenue preserves the Ansley Wilcox House, which was where Theodore Roosevelt was inaugurated as President of the United States on September 14, 1901 after the assassination of William McKinley. Part of the house serves as a museum displaying several artifacts from the Pan-American Exposition, which includes wine glasses, plates, playing cards and the key to the Temple of Music. A recreation of the Oval Office as it would have looked when Roosevelt was President is also featured in the house and also allows you to send e-mails to yourself from the interactive desk.
Next, Buffalo City Hall is one of the oldest structures still operating in the downtown area of Buffalo. The building was opened in 1931 by Dietel, Wade & Jones and stands as one of the tallest municipal buildings in the United States and in Western New York. This 32-story Art Deco building is located at 65 Niagara Square. There are many statues surrounding the building, such as Niagara Square’s Lions and McKinley memorial and the detailed relief sculptures over the front entrance. On the Southeast corner of the building stands the statue of President Millard Fillmore, a Buffalo native. The statue of President Grover Cleveland, who was also a former Mayor of Buffalo, is located on the Northeast corner of the building. Inside the building there are two William de Leftwich Dodge murals, one displayed on the east side of the entrance hall and one on the west side.
EscapeWizard.com highly recommends a trip outside the city to Niagara Falls. The falls are only a 20 minute car ride out of Buffalo. From the American side, vacationers can take in breathtaking views of the falls on the Canadian side. If you want to cross into Canada to view the American side, don't forget to bring your passport. EscapeWizard.com suggests the Maid of the Mist boat ride which will take you right up to the falls for a closer view. Then just a short drive from the falls is Old Fort Niagara. This fort was built in 1726 and gives vacationers a glimpse into how forts worked in the 18th and 19th century.
