Buffalo’s waterfront has been the source of much of the city’s wealth and prosperity since the city's earliest days. This 90-minute bus tour shows the waterfront as the epicenter for the city’s ongoing renaissance, visiting Canalside, the Outer Harbor, and the mighty grain elevators along the Buffalo River. See how Buffalo is returning to its waterfront roots, with a revitalized waterfront being reclaimed for the entire community with new parks, trails, and public art.
The tour will also travel through South Buffalo, visiting the Olmsted-designed Cazenovia and South Parks and passing the Botanical Gardens and Our Lady of Victory Basilica. Throughout the tour, you’ll see many of the new developments throughout the southern part of the city, including the massive SolarCity solar panel factory and the revitalized Larkin District.
