"Some of the greatest mysteries of the world have been solved through science. Questions like why objects fall and stay on the ground or how fire is possible have been answered thanks to people putting their minds to work. At the Buffalo Museum of Science, you can be astonished by just how much importance science has had on our world."

"A post shared by Buffalo Museum of Science (@buffaloscience) on Feb 27, 2020 at 5:53am PST. If you’re in Buffalo with kids and need something fun and educational to do, you can’t go wrong with the Buffalo Museum of Science. This has interactive exhibits showing different aspects of science."

"It can be easy to overlook the Albright-Knox’s 1962 addition, a sleek modernist marble and glass design that today hosts exhibition and auditorium space.

Its elegance has withstood the test of time, and it remains a gem in Buffalo’s rich collection of architectural treasures."

"Don’t judge a book by its cover, which should be the motto of this museum. Look beyond the waxy veneer, the often attributed creepiness, and consider a great opportunity to learn history from a more personal perspective. While the wax figures will always look slightly ‘off’ from a typical human point of view, the history that compliments it makes for a vibrant experience."

"Housed in a former church, the Buffalo Religious art Center is dedicated towards preserving religious art from churches that have been forced to shut down. It was formed in 2008 with this sole mission in mind. The St Francis Xavier church is where this institution is located and it is fascinating to see the building so beautifully preserved."

With a really awesome vibey forest that on foggy days, looks absolutely amazing around dusk and how the light beams through the forest transforming the scenery into something straight out of Tolkien book.
