Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Port Colborne

"To the east of Delaware Park is yet another of Buffalo’s must-see tourist attractions: the marvelous Martin House. Designed by the world-famous Frank Lloyd Wright, the complex showcases some stunning Prairie School architecture and is regularly ranked among his most important and impressive works. Built between 1902 and 1905, Martin House is undoubtedly the complex’s standout sight due to its unusually large size, open plan layout and its intricate details and design."

"The city of Buffalo redeveloped its waterfront, transforming it into a destination for locals and tourists alike, and the result is spectacular. Families can rent paddle boats and kayaks to take out onto the water, eat at the waterfront restaurants, and snap selfies with the public art—such as current Instagram star, “Shark Girl” (a statue of a little girl in a sweet summer dress but with a shark’s head!). Another treasure is the Grain Elevator Light Display."

"Buffalo's once-derelict waterfront has been spruced up to offer year-round entertainments and activities, from markets and light shows in summer to ice-skating and ice bikes in winter."

"Buffalo and Erie County Marine and Military Park is located at 1 Naval, Marina Park S. Open April through October, weekdays in November are Saturday and Sunday, and the Friday after Thanksgiving. Located near downtown Canalside, Buffalo and Erie County Marine and Military Park opened in 1977 and consists of three historic ships: the USS Little Rock, a cruiser that served in the Mediterranean during the Cold War as the flagship for the U.S. Navy’s Second and Sixth Fleets and is now the only missile cruiser in the country on display."

"If you’re in Buffalo with youngsters during April through November, going to the Naval & Military Park is a treat. The admission for adults is $15, and kids are $9. There are six different exhibits to check out, which are real life naval and military ships."

"The museum is located near Canalside and is home to the USS Little Rock, USS The Sullivans and the submarine the USS Croaker, all three or which are open for tours."

"The colossal cemetery of Forest Lawn lies just a ten minute drive north of the center. Although it is home to thousands of mausoleums, monuments, and sculptures, it looks more like a park than a graveyard as paths and ponds are dotted about its scenic confines. Founded in 1849, it now covers a huge area with the rural cemetery’s delightful design and layout being modeled on the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris."

"This is one of the rare cemeteries that you will come across that is professionally landscaped and boasts of beautiful sculptures and designs. There are about 161,000 residents buriedhere. There are picturesque lakes dotting the cemetery along with hills, valleys and streams."

"A cemetery isn’t usually the first place that comes into mind when you think of family-friendly attractions. But, Forest Lawn Cemetery isn’t your typical burial ground."

"Endorsed by Accessibility Niagara, Heartland Forest is an outdoor area of wheelchair accessible hiking trails, fish ponds (catch and release with your own gear), animal carvings, and a tree house in the middle of the woods. Also enjoy their playground, with a custom merry-go-round, swing, and unique fire pit that accommodate wheelchairs safely and easily. We had a lot of fun here, just letting the kids explore."

"This 350-acre park is one of three in the city designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. It includes meadows, forests, lakes, rose and Japanese-style gardens, sports facilities, picnic areas and the grounds of Buffalo Zoo."

"St Joseph’s Cathedral was established in 1847 and construction was completed by 1862. This huge cathedral is a gorgeous structure that provokes spirituality and peace within you. The ushers are helpful and full of information."

"Sitting on 264 acres of rich natural landscape, Tifft Nature Preserve is one of the largest municipal nature preserves in the state of New York."
