Things to Do
New York Beer Project
Some of the best food we've had! They have great brunch, lunch, and dinner.
Niagara Falls
We definitely recommend taking the Maid of the Mist boat tour of Niagara Falls, starting and ending on the American side, crossing briefly into Ontario during a portion of the trip. https://www.maidofthemist.com/

Our favorites are Duff's and Anchor Bar. There is debate about which place actually has the original Buffalo wings.

Watkins Glen State Park
Known for its natural beauty, the Watkins Glen State Park features a series of waterfalls and gorges that are sure to amaze anyone. An almost two mile hike will take you past 19 waterfalls and up over 800 stone steps. We love hiking the gorge trail at this state park!

Beautiful waterfall in Rochester, NY.
Genesee Brew House
Enjoy good beer and food with outdoor and rooftop dining. Venue overlooks the High Falls in Rochester, NY!
Corning Museum of Glass
We LOVE it here. It will definitely fill up one day with all of the exhibits and live demonstrations.
Market Street
This street in Corning, NY has lots of shopping, restaurants, and is beautiful to walk in the summer. Come see the city that convinced Amanda to move to NY. ;)
The Strong Museum
One of the best museums in the nation for families with children of all ages. The Strong National Museum of Play—the ultimate play destination. Hands-on Activities.
Erie Canal Trail
Cycle the Eire Canal! This is one long trail that extends from Buffalo to Albany, but you can explore any part of it! The trail between Buffalo and Rochester follows the Canal most closely as it passes through the towns that grew along its shores. The western most segment of the trail begins in downtown Buffalo and includes the scenic Riverwalk along the Niagara River. Eastward in the town of Lockport, you can see the historic “flight of five” locks, one of the few remaining original locks, alongside a modern lock. The towns along this part of the trail are home to many historic canal structures and several lift bridges, which raise and lower to allow boats to pass through the canal. You’ll also find historic landmarks, farmers markets, charming shops, unique museums, quaint B&Bs, boat tours and cobblestone and sandstone buildings listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Transit Drive-In Theatre
Multi-screen drive-in theater featuring new movies, concessions & a miniature golf course. This drive-in is just down the street from the Hampton-Inn (hotel block location)! Great opportunity for COVID-safe family time!
Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises
Cruise the Eire Canal! Come aboard for a relaxing & informative ride on the 19th-century engineering marvel which opened the American Frontier.
