here's my report:

last friday, we went to Niagara Falls state park, we got the US pass ticket and visited almost everything featured except the aquarium(we didnt know aquarium closes early). One of the elevater at Cave of the Wind was down so we waited for a LONG time there. Then we watched the fireworks at the Falls at 10pm.

on Saturday, we didnt take the highway, instead, we went on Niagara Falls blvd to get to the Aquarium. (my friends are biology students...so they love watching fish and plants)

In the afternoon we went to Buffalo botanical garden. and then we went to Duffs and ordered the usual wings fries and drinks. by the way, i drove from the garden to duffs thru Bailey avenue. So i let my friends see the contrast between Niagara Falls blvd and Bailey, lol

We planned to get on the boat at Erie Canal but it was too late for the boat, so in the evening we rode the metro rail and walked from theater to hsbc arena.

We had great experience.

Sounds like you have a pretty eventful weekend, a little something of everything.

No Commercial Slip or waterfron? LOL, I'm glad you guys had a great time, but I hope when the next visit arrives, you will make it down to the waterfront!

From the Erie Basin Marina Observation Tower:



The New Erie Basin Marina Beach:



The new Boardwalk/Central Wharf:



The new Whipple Truss Bridge:



And the new famous Commercial Slip:



Don't forget to check out the Naval Park:



And the view of the first main Buffalo Lighthouse:



Lots to do! And it's all fairly New!

Make sure you go there - it's all within 2 miles of walking distance from the Observation Tower all the way to the Commercial Slip/Boardwalk.

Your phtos are fantastic! I've not been down there yet, but am sure looking forward to it now after seeing this. Thanks so much for posting them.
