"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.

"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. It was designed by Gordon Bunshaft, one of the 20th century’s most prolific architects, to complement and subtly contrast the museum’s original building. Its elegance has withstood the test of time, and it remains a gem in Buffalo’s rich collection of architectural treasures."

"The Albright-Knox Art Gallery has been collecting and exhibiting art since that iconic year. The collections have included pieces from the most transcendent artists, like van Gogh, Monet, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Picasso. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday."

"The gallery's superb collection, which ranges from Degas and Picasso to Ruscha, Rauschenberg and other abstract expressionists, occupies a neoclassical building planned for Buffalo's 1905 Pan American Expo. Its temporary exhibits are particularly creative and compelling."

"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."

"The Buffalo Religious Arts Center was established to collect and preserve fine art from the many houses of worship that have closed their doors in the Western New York area."

"American Falls is the northernmost waterfall in Niagara Falls State Park. It is 830 feet wide and has a total drop of 188 feet (though only 70-110 feet of that is a freefall drop, depending on the rock pile at the base of the falls). There are several good viewing areas for American Falls including from Luna Island and from the viewing area near the Maid of the Mist store."

"During the 12-minute flight, you’ll fly right over Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, see the rapids and Rainbow Bridge alongside the giant whirlpool. It really is a unique way to see Niagara Falls."

"The American Falls is the second-largest of the three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada–U.S. border."

"Situated not far from the Casino Niagara on Falls Avenue, Guinness Book of World Records Museum is the place where you may experience the wonders of Guinness World Records in person. This Niagara Falls museum offers thousands of amazing facts and feats that make the Guinness Book of Records come to life.

"There’s a good chance people already know what you want to see when you get there – the waterfalls!. The famous falls are a very popular Ontario attraction for a reason. Luckily for you, there are three waterfalls to keep and your adventurous soul busy."

"Though the waterfalls themselves (Niagara Falls actually comprises three waterfalls, the American, the Canadian and the more meagre Bridal Veil falls) are the big draw, there's a whole lot else going on in the Niagara Region, so you'll want to devote a full day: 8 hours minimum, considering the drive each way is 90 minutes. If you have your own car, follow our directions for getting from Toronto to Niagara Falls. If you are a wine enthusiast or just to take in some striking scenery, allow time to visit the Niagara Wine Region just off the highway on your way to Niagara Falls. The wine route is well mapped out and plenty of signs will show you where to exit to visit any one of the more than 100 wineries."

"Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s actually part of American Falls because there is only a very small island, Luna Island, separating this waterfall from its neighbor. Bridal Veil Falls is about 55 feet wide, which would make it a major waterfall almost anywhere else in New York, but it’s nearly an afterthought here."

"The smallest of the three waterfalls that comprise world-famous Niagara Falls, Bridal Veil Falls is anything but small. Located on the US side of the falls, the 56-foot-wide (17-meter-wide) waterfall thunders over a 78-foot (24-meter) drop. Its frothy white cascade is reminiscent of a bride’s veil, hence the falls’ name.More"
