This event and the activities offered are very dependent on colder weather, which we have not had. The weather is not fully co-operating with the organizers making it difficult to provide every activity for the patrons. I would suggest calling ahead or checking a webpage, or social media to see the scheduled events for the day as the activities we planned on doing we're not available when we visited.

Awesome place, good for groups and even for children. The battle ships are a good attraction.

Had a fabulous time Ice skating @ Canalside. Rentals were $5 per person. Admission is $8. Lockers $1.Pros: beautiful landscape.Friendly people willing to give out free lessons.Cons: they were out of many sizes of skates due to the demand of people coming in. Skates were hit or miss. Some were good condition, some were completely mangled.Long waits for rentals (so bring your own!!)Parking is sparse unless you are okay with paying ($5-$20).Overall, I would come again. Probably not on the weekend since parking is tricky & the crowding on the ice makes it hard to find your rhythm.

The Ice at Canalside has been a great feature of downtown since 2014. And everyone working there is super nice! How awesome is it to have a great place to skate in such a wonderful location. But as I have mentioned several times in the past, I hope they have something set up this year to prevent the melted snow dripping from the bridge that causes mounds to build up on the ice below. There are several solutions, including making sure the bridge is cleared of snow and ice, to putting some type of webbing beneath it to divert the water from dripping onto the ice. Also, once again it would be nice if there were a live webcam so people considering a trip to the rink could see the conditions, and could see when the next Zamboni break would be coming up. Many other rinks have this. The red center ice design is so faded this year. It'd be nice to see that special spot, which was center ice at the Aud, be highlighted. And can we please rotate the skating direction (clockwise/counterclockwise) every few hours?

"Sailing into Team Building: A Memorable Office Outing on the Spirit of Buffalo"Last week, our team at FIFTEEN embarked on an extraordinary office outing aboard the Spirit of Buffalo, launching from the vibrant Canalside district. The experience was not just a breath of fresh air away from the office; it was an adventure that brought us closer together as a team.From the moment we stepped onto the beautifully maintained sailboat, the atmosphere was electric with excitement. The Spirit of Buffalo, with its classic design and welcoming crew, promised an experience unlike any typical team-building exercise. As we set sail on the clear waters, the stunning views of Buffalo's waterfront provided a picturesque backdrop that left us all in awe.The crew members were exceptional – not only in navigating the boat but also in engaging us in the sailing experience. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, encouraging even the most hesitant among us to participate in hoisting the sails. This hands-on activity was a highlight, as it fostered a sense of teamwork and collaboration, essential elements in our field of advertising and marketing.What made this outing particularly special was the opportunity it provided for informal bonding. Away from the hustle of our regular work environment, we shared stories, laughed, and got to know each other on a deeper level. This kind of interaction is invaluable in a creative industry like ours, where understanding and trust among team members can spark the most innovative ideas.Moreover, the serene environment of the open water was a perfect setting for reflecting on our goals and aspirations as a company. It was inspiring to discuss our visions and future projects in such a peaceful setting, surrounded by the beauty of nature.The Spirit of Buffalo experience was more than just an office outing; it was a memorable journey that strengthened our bonds, invigorated our spirits, and reminded us why we love working in the dynamic world of advertising and marketing. As we returned to Canalside, we felt a renewed sense of camaraderie and a deeper connection to the beautiful city of Buffalo that we call home.In summary, the Spirit of Buffalo offered an extraordinary experience that went beyond mere enjoyment. It was an investment in our team's unity and creativity, an experience that we will talk about for years to come. We highly recommend it to other businesses looking for an engaging and unique team-building activity.

Lots going on here, even in November. The antique carousel was fun, only $1 to ride and inside with cool museum type pieces around the outside.Further along, they are building an Erie canal boat following original specs from 1825. You can go up to an observation deck and watch them working on the boat.Then, of course, is the maritime museum. A great place to visit on Veterans Day. You can tour one of the WWII ships(fee) and visit the well-stocked gift shop. A wander through the park to see all the memorials is a must.
