I had the wonderful benefit of watching Orchard Park Little League teams play in June and was quite…read moreimpressed. First of all, this is a volunteer-run youth baseball and softball organization. It serves children in the area of Buffalo, and many of them are very clearly talented. Apparently, this group has been around since 1959 and the league offers a whole range of programs for children of different ages and skill levels. They have Tee Ball, baseball, softball, camps, participate in tournaments and also organize events. And the league has also enjoyed competitive success over the years, winning New York State Little League championships, including state titles in the past. Also, the park for their game play has several fields and a concession stand with pretty good burgers, hot dogs and nachos. They also have soda and water on site and are pup friendly. Family fun all around -- and a bit of competition.

Someone told me about Aqua Tots so check out the website completed and inquiry. I recieved a call back from the own at the Buffalo location who spoke with me for a while allowing me to ask all sorts of questions then offered me and family to come in for a free trial session. My lil guy loved it and we signed up that day !! So what do we love ? 1) We love that staff are welcoming, positive and patient !! They know my lil guy's name, they make him feel comfortable especially when learning new things. He looks foward to coming every week. 2) I love flexability of the schedule. They are open 6 days a week with various times available. Also, you can easily schedule a make up session. 3) They give feedback with sugguestions to practice at home right after the lesson. And parents of toddler age and up dont get in the pool with kid. There is a huge viewing area where you can watch the entire swim lesson and you child can see you as well. 4) You pay monthly and you can how many days a week you child goes. You even have the ability pause your membership if needed. 5) small classes only 4 kids per class. Overall,I could honestly go on and on about this place. My family loves it, my son is safe and learning a great skill. Check it out !!!

It is a private club and requires a membership however membership dues and fees to have a boat slip are much cheaper than most places you will find in Buffalo. The TILC is not an exquisite and ritzy yaht club, it's very family oriented and is just a nice place to go relax. Friends and family of members are always welcome to come down. There is a huge kitchen and tons of seating in the boat house and also a huge wrap around deck perfect for parties and entertaining. There is a playground for children, a firepit, and even a mini beach. There is also a boat launch however is for members only. It's walking distance from the shores restaurant and very close to other establishments. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking to join a club!

In my experience the instruction for young children is rather low quality. 20 min out of 45 min in…read morethe toddlers class the instructor was sitting in one spot. That kind of "warm up" without music or other engagement for 20 min might be ok for older kids, but not toddlers. The class is low energy, slow-going. Kids couldn't sit still.

I have one kid who got pulled from the general class into the team, and another kid who they are working with to control anxiety attacks on the balance beam.

Well worth the time and investment.

The senior center's director is an amazing woman who really cares about not just her job, but for those for whom she does this job. And the activities director is also pretty fantastic. She makes sure the seniors have movie nights, exercise classes, relevant guest speakers, and even fun trips. There are a lot of volunteer opportunities at the senior center as well. The building is sometimes used as a shelter during storms, and some of the seniors will volunteer to work during these times. In addition, it's used as a polling place, where many seniors find opportunities to serve their community. My mom also volunteers in the kitchen sometimes helping to prepare meals, at the front desk, and wherever else there's a need. She has delivered meals for Meals on Wheels through a program at the Clarence Senior Center. Every month we get a newsletter in the mail that outlines all the great programs that are available to members. Some things are there every month: weekly Bingo, Pinochle, Wood working, and a few other things. But then sometimes there are local trips, like to the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute and restaurant. They occasionally have mystery tours as well, where the travelers signed up don't know where they are going until they get there. Those are always fun trips (I know because my mom has asked me to join her on a few of them). If you've got a parent or loved one who is looking for somewhere they can go to play cards or Bingo or just to hang out and meet other seniors, this is a safe and welcoming environment. I highly recommend checking it out!
