    Millard Fillmore Museum - Tour guide explaining the presidency of Millard Fillmore.

    This site (although small) is packed with historic artifacts from the Fillmores and the Prices (of…read moreFisher Price toy fame). You'll find actual china, era posters (Currier and Ives), and even books hand signed by Millard Fillmore. But that's not the best part. The best part is far and away the guides. They truly care and are passionate about "their President" and in spreading true information about this often forgotten U.S. President. I gained new knowledge and even a broader perspective of who he was, how he was raised, how he climbed the political ladder as well as the good, the bad, and the ugly. The guides are fun and engaging and went above and beyond to answer all questions as well as give us extra suggestions for nearby sites (both in East Aurora and Buffalo) to visit to enhance our understanding of Millard Fillmore. If you want to understand presidential history and the events leading up to the Civil War, this stop is a must. Give Kathy a call and let her guide you through the life of our 13th President.

    Let's focus on what's important here. Millard Fillmore was the hottest President in our history…read more Tall, handsome, and single between 1853-1858, he even made European royalty swoon. But, okay, he has some pretty decent accomplishments in American history that cements him as an influential figure in the shaping of Buffalo and our nation. The Millard Fillmore house is an absolute must-visit when it comes to local history, and certainly to state-wide history too! This is certainly a hidden gem of whatever reason, overshadowed I feel by the Roycroft campus just around the corner...but I am so glad to have had the chance to tour this historic home. I don't want to spoil any of the history of the house or its inhabitants here, so I won't. Seriously, take some time to visit this house! The museum is tour-guided, running on Wednesdays and weekends every half hour from 1-3pm. $10 for visitors, with discounts for seniors/children/etc. They take cash or card. No pictures allowed inside of the house, but photos of the exterior & gardens are cool! It was really cool to see all of the artifacts here, many pieces being genuinely owned by Fillmore throughout his lifetime. (They even have a lock of his hair on display!) If you're a bit of a history nut like me, a lot of what you'll find in this museum will be pretty common knowledge. I did find it really cool to learn the history of the house through its ownership, a bit more about Fillmore's personal life in Buffalo that I hadn't known before, and his accomplishments throughout and after his presidency. The docents were very knowledgeable, friendly, and had answers for every question I asked! I would honestly love to return here with friends, or would enjoy bringing someone from out of town to this amazing gem. It does my heart good to know how much love and appreciation this place has gotten from East Aurora - so thank you, for giving me such a wonderful experience in the process!

    In Buffalo and the entire Western New York region, everyone ought to know Charles E. Burchfield. I…read moream certain that those interested in art have heard of him as well. He's recognized as one of the most distinguished American painters. Charles Rand Penney was a Buffalo native who donated his collection of Western New York Art, including 183 works by Charles E. Burchfield. The Burchfield Penney Art Center is dedicated to works by Burchfield and by regional artists. You'll see those active in the previous and the contemporary century. The Burchfield Penney functions as a gallery and a museum, serving as an institution affiliated with the Buffalo State University. For this reason, many events are related to education and personal development. It is worth checking what is happening and which events align with your individual needs and interests. Either way, it is definitely a place worth visiting. It's New York's first green museum certified by the U.S. Green Building Council's (LEED) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. It's a two-story open and bright space, pretty great to be honest :). On the second Friday of every month, admission is free. "Be ready for special events, music, workshops, happy hours and more!" It's also free for Burchfield Penney members, Buffalo State University Students, Faculty & Staff, United States and Canada Active Military and their families, United States Military Veterans, ASI Arts Access Pass holders, and children and teens under 18 years old.

    Reliving childhood memories and making new ones with the whole family…read more The Strong National Museum of Play is the ultimate place for interactive play with over 282,000 sq ft of fun exhibits. Smaller kids were able to immerse in the toy Grocery Store, Reading Adventureland pirate mail, and Sesame Street exhibits on the 1st floor. There were neat areas including the Pinball Playfield and outdoor Field of Play with a D&D dragon statue and Monopoly for photo-ops on a nice day. The Hulk strength and Spider-Man city climb exhibits in the Comic Book Hero area were also fun. On the 2nd floor, the Digital Worlds and Video Game Hall of Fame featured many classic and independent video games that kept us entertained on various consoles. We also had plenty of fun in the Level Up area, especially with the interactive stealth zone and wall toss games. These were all included in the admission price but my personal favorite were the arcades at $1 per 5 tokens and featured Mario Cart and Halo plus many more games from the past four decades. We literally visited three days in a row here to experience the many parts of the museum for multiple days of play. With added admission, we also worked up a sweat on the Skyline Climb rope course and zipline above the atrium. It was well-designed with a safety rail & traffic light system that made it suitable for young kids. The site has a rainbow parking garage with 6 parking entries included in each annual family membership. Skip it or hit it? We had such a fun time that we'll definitely revisit in the future. Good thing it's only 3 hours drive from Toronto.

    This is a trip down memory lane!…read more This museum is not just for children. It's for that little kid inside you that was once naive, joyful, and full of imagination. There are many play areas for kids of all ages, a Wegman's grocery store, a giant working Simon, outdoor space for bubbles, giant sized Monopoly, a giant Chutes and Ladders, a huge Donkey Kong game, plenty of pinball and arcade machines. This year they added an indoor 9 hole mini golf course as well. The part that always leaves me in awe is the massive collection of old toys and video gaming systems. A great trip down memory lane always.
