    The Maize - Great maze, not great food.

    The Maize

    My review is not for the actual maze , but for the bounce houses and games for the little ones …read more I absolutely adore this place . Located on Niagara Falls Blvd in the Wheatfield area . I have driven by year after year and thought I really need to check it out . One year (maybe more ? )they were not there for the season and I was saddened , so when I saw them open , I made a point to get there . Upon entering you will see many blow up bounce houses. Sadly, the big tiger you can see from the road is "retired" but , man he is cool ! There is also a little track for kids to be able to drive kid cars around . I would say this is great for probably the 4-5 year olds , but flexible. There are many tables set up for "pumpkin tic tac toe" . I thought it was an adorable idea. There are food huts/vendors set up with the typical carnival offerings of kettle corn, cotton candy , soft pretzels etc. What I found fun , is that there is a whole second area that you have to walk a short way through a corn maze to get to . I had no idea it existed ! Here is where you will find some more great bounce attractions and game areas , blow up slides and even a kids zipline attraction . So much fun. My 2 1/2 yr old grandson had such a great time . I recommend this for the little ones , especially 2-6ish years old . You will have a great time watching them have a great time . Lastly , we paid I believe $12 for an armband(did not have to pay for adult bands) which allowed for all day access to all of the bounce houses, we also were able to get a mini pumpkin included in that price . It was well worth the price ! I believe you can purchase individual tickets , but much more cost effective to get the all day bracelet. Pack up your kids, or your grandkids , or even your friends kids , and go ! :)

    Getting lost in a Corn Maze... Definitely not my idea of a Saturday night. Nevertheless, after…read moreletting 6 of my friends talk me into going to The MAiZE, a venture to this notable Buffalo attraction was had. Just a few notes on the Corn MAiZE - The MAiZE is segmented into three sections - Easy, Medium, and Hard. Be forewarned, I was stuck in the Medium section for 45 minutes. - Vendors: Kettle Corn and Beverages are available for purchase - There's a large MAP of the MAiZE posted at each entry. If you're inclined to cheat, do so willingly. - "Corn Cops" are strategically located within each MAiZE. If getting becomes boring, simply ask a Corn Cop for directions on how to get out! - WEAR BOOTS! The Corn Field is known to get extremely muddy. Sadly, my white Pumas did NOT survive the evening. - Time spent finding your way out of the 3 MAiZEs can vary between 30 minutes to never! - If you're afraid of the dark, the MAiZE is NOT for you. - The last MAiZE is the most difficult. My party and I simply gave up when we exited at the entrance. Simply put, the MAiZE is a great time to be had with a bunch of friends. Nothing beats getting lost in a Corn Field with 6 of your closest friends on an Autumn evening.

It all started in 2010, and since then the event has been extremely popular not only among local residents. The festival takes place in a park worth visiting not just for the festival itself. It's small, but well-maintained and compact, with the picturesque Glen Falls. It's a perfect place for a little stroll, or a getaway from the crowd. This year, 150 vendors participated in the event. I'm sure everyone could find something interesting for themselves. I got caught at two booths for a little longer than the others. The first was Enchanted Cottage Candles. Actually, it was a really popular spot. We all couldn't believe how perfect each candle looked, not to mention the scent, which was absolutely stunning. I also had to stop at Susie Byerley Fine Art Oil Painting from Southern Indiana. I hardly ever talk to vendors, but this time I just had to chat a little bit. Her extraordinary talent was impossible to miss. I'm sure many complimented her traditional representational art. I hope she managed to sell at least a few of her beautiful pieces. There weren't many food vendors, but I was happy to see Sunshine Vegan Eats. Anyway, Williamsville has plenty of restaurants, so don't worry. There's something for everyone.

    One of my absolute favorite festivals in Buffalo. This festival never disappoints. There are so…read moremany amazing vendors here and I have discovered so many great artists here. If you have time, I highly recommend taking some time out and visiting this amazing park and festival

I was especially excited to see some nostalgic scenes such as Hills , Blockbuster and the SNICK couch . The girls had a lot of fun (and some bickering ) posing in front of the more kid friendly backgrounds . The workers were very nice while explaining the process to our group . Other areas looked like they were currently under construction or needed some fixing . Overall , an hour was more than enough time to get our selfie groove on and I would recommend it to others looking for a unique experience.

It's in the Tops plaza on Main Street across from UB South. The fee was around $20 per person. There were many different areas decorated in cool or interesting ways where you could take a selfie. Each person after paying was given a clicker. You're supposed to sync into the Bluetooth for your clicker. You're supposed to put your phone on the holder. There is a halo light around it. Technically when you hit the upper button for iPhones, or the lower button, if you have an android, your camera is supposed to take a photo of you. There has never been more than 10 people in the business at once using the clickers so none of our clickers were working. We were all bouncing off of our friend's clickers so we had to take our selfies the old school way, which was fine with me. Ray is the owner and he is going to work on the clicker issue. He is pictured in the Hills selfie with me. (He was behind the booth selling popcorn and alcohol. I asked if I could take a selfie with him to promote his business. Ray's main goal is to raise money for local charities. He had a DJ there too playing awesome music!!! All-in-all, this business is really cool and I'm glad I had the chance to check it out!! I hope Ray has success.

The main arena is large & there was a fortune teller plus memorabilia stands & actors the area had an authentic creepy vibe. It's very loud subsonic mood music with tons of stage smoke in the air. The food court is separated off from the man area but still allows for a view of the fun. We found the lowest price ticket still pricey, had it been less, all of us would have gone through but again it is well done so you get what you pay for. The un chaperoned teen groups roaming around were mostly well behaved.

The venue is inside which can be nice for the cooler/rainy nights but inside is very hot and sticky. It is $40 pp, $55 pp if you want to skip the lines. CASH ONLY. But there is an ATM. We did not get the "fast pass" and the wait for each of the 5 haunted houses was about 30-40 minutes each. The makeup/props/costumes were very good. However, we did not get a scare once. It felt most time was spent on props and less focus on scaring people. Two haunted houses we walked through we didn't see a single cast member. Is it because were in our mid 20s and are too old for this? We found it overpriced, hot, and uneventful. We would've left early but we kept thinking "well maybe the next one might be better". It is not America's #1 scare park.

    Wow! Awesome rink! So I came here on. Wednesday night (adult…read moreretro night). It was also the start of the annual Borderline Jam which I was unfamiliar with since I'm just getting back into skating again but there were so many incredibly talented skaters it just blew me away! I am just an average rollerblader. I haven't hit a rink in a quarter century until this past week so I can't even remember how to skate backwards but I still go fast and just flying around the rink listening to music on a great sound system with fun lighting was enough to make me happy and get great exercise too! Admission is usually $10 (I had to pay $15 because of the special event). There are skates to rent but I know nothing more as I have my own. There are plenty of lockers and they are a quarter to lock each time (I was busy skating and never opened it again until I left). The key doesn't have a wrist band so make sure you have a pocket or a fanny pack or something to put it in. There is a snack bar with things like pizza, pizza logs, nachos, popcorn, etc. at a fair price. There are also some alcoholic beverages! There's also vending machines with plenty of snacks and drinks. There is an arcade too which I wanted to play but unfortunately almost every game was turned off and no one at the ticket counter - im not sure if it is like that every adult night or just due to the special event but I wanted to play some games! Staff was friendly but so were the people! Everyone that came up to me was just genuinely being nice and inclusive and not being a creep. That really made me feel happy and excited to come back. What I love the most was all shapes sizes ages colors genders styles and skill sets all harmonized as one. Everyone was really enjoying themselves, getting along nicely, if someone is coming around you fast they will make a noise so you know or they may gently touch you for a moment so you know they rounding you so no one falls. It was really a nice venue with wonderful people where you can feel safe and free from all of the silly arguments you see on social media, or rudeness you see out in the wild quite often. Whether your 80 years old and still able to fly around the rink, younger and full of dance moves on skates that make heads turn, average like me, or just starting out and need some help .. and people there will be happy to help you ... this is the place to be! I really look forward to coming here again soon.
