Recreation and things we love to do.
In recent years, Buffalo has experienced an incredible transformation, with development at four different waterfront locations dramatically expanding its activities throughout all four seasons. This includes boating, kayaking, sailing, concerts, skating, and festivals as well as numerous waterside restaurants. Its Theater District boasts a vibrant collection of live theaters and a movie theater along with retail shops and art galleries.
