THINGS TO DO
Shop Locally
Take a walk around Main Street in East Aurora to explore local boutiques, bakeries, breweries, book stores or toy shops for the kids. There is something for everyone!
Elm Street Bakery
One of our favorite spots in EA. It is a locally-owned whole foods bakery/café that specializes in brick oven artisan breads, scratch pastries, desserts, and more. They also have a "Speakeasy" located behind the main building. Look for the flickering gas light to know it is open!
Knox Farm State Park
Knox Farm State Park offers beautiful walking and hiking trails. We recommend grabbing a coffee from Elm Street Bakery then taking a walk around the park.
Bar-Bill Tavern
A classic lunch or dinner spot for the best chicken wings in Buffalo! For any foodies, this place is a must. We recommend getting there early or ordering ahead of time to avoid long wait times. Also it is cash ONLY.
Rosie's Handcrafted Ice Cream
Rosie's Handcrafted Ice Cream is the perfect place to visit if you are in the mood for a sweet treat!
Aurora Theatre
For any of our guests looking to relax before the big day - enjoy a movie at the historic Aurora Theatre. It is an old-fashioned one screen theatre that is super cozy!
Roycroft Summer Art Festival
The Roycroft Art Festivial showcases artwork from a variety of fine arts and craft vendors, antique dealers and community groups. Plus there is live entertainment!
Movies in the Park
Every Friday night in the summer time there is a free movie played at Hamlin Park. It is a perfect way to spend the night with the kids before heading over to welcome drinks. Bring a blanket and snacks :)
Niagara Falls
One of the prettiest attractions in the Buffalo area - Niagara Falls! It is about 40 minutes outside of East Aurora, but worth the drive if you have never visited the Falls before!
Canal Side
Canal Side is at the heart of downtown Buffalo's waterfront. During the day or at night you can walk along the pier to find concerts, festivals, summer fitness classes, children's programming, or history tours.
Delaware Park
Explore the "Central Park" of Buffalo. You can walk around the park, dine at The Terrace, or take a ride on one of the row boats.
Elmwood Village
A vibrant neighborhood in downtown Buffalo - explore local stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful neighborhoods!
Wayland Brewing Company
This brewery & restaurant recently opened in Orchard Park (a few minutes outside of East Aurora). We have heard great things about the food & beer & fun atmosphere!
