TVs are placed around displaying different kinds/varieties of the many fireworks for sale which makes the buying experience a little easier for a novice from NY. Good prices too with a promotion at the time of buy one get one 99 cents! Right in the shopping area off East main st this is a convenient stop for anyone looking to get quality fireworks! Highly recommend!

This is an update to a review I originally wrote 11 years ago, and somehow, I love Allegany State…read morePark even more now than I did then. I've been coming here since I quite literally fit into a bucket (not exaggerating). Allegany has been a constant for me and probably the beginning of my love for everything outdoors. Growing up, my family spent Columbus Day weekends camping here, originally along McIntosh Trail and later at Summit Trail near the Art Roscoe Ski Area and fire tower on the Red House side of the park. Now, they go extra fancy and stay on Bova Trail. Over the years, Allegany became the backdrop for countless adventures from tent camping, cabin stays, hiking, geocaching, and just being together outdoors. These days, instead of Columbus Day, I usually start the year here by staying in a cabin and doing the First Day Hike with my dad. While my most recent visit wasn't the best, it doesn't erase the years of great memories before it. I've visited Allegany in every season, but autumn will always be my favorite thanks to the foliage. The trails shine in summer and fall. I've backpacked the North Country Trail through the park, hiked nearly every trail, and uncovered some lesser known gems along the way. I participate in the park's hiking challenges, serve on the board of the Allegany State Park Historical Society, and appreciate organizations like Friends of Allegany for the work they do to protect and enhance this place. The Red House Restaurant serves up some good times and great food, too. From Thunder Rocks to the Bear Caves, beaches, creeks, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, geocaching (including night caches and GeoBash!), and endless quiet corners, Allegany surely offers something for everyone. It's located a mere hour and 45 minutes from Buffalo and to me, it's a crown jewel of the New York State Park system. My advice? Do a little research before you go so you can make the most of your visit. Stop by the Administration Building on the Red House side, explore Thunder Rocks or the Bear Caves, and camp if you can. And whatever you do... don't feed the bears!

Beautiful place! I didn't explore everything and it was my first visit…read more $7 to drive in. A huge lake A small dock to launch from in a canoe/paddle board A beach. Paved trail to ride bike (or electric scooter, etc.) 2 trails I saw for hiking in foot. 1 mile trail and 5 mile. Maybe there's more somewhere. This was near the building with the restaurant, gift shop, etc. I took the shorter (1 mile). It was really nice and shaded by the trees. Not too challenging. I saw the restaurant inside and outside. The inside was just a casual area upstairs. I thought the patio was a muncher better option. There's a nice outdoor area with wooden lounge chairs to take in the view. Gift shop is average ... clothes and trinkets with Ellicottville on them, snacks and drinks. There's some rooms with taxidermy showing you names of different animals; especially birds and their eggs. I saw a creek off the bike trail and many people were swimming in there. I saw a wetland area. Didn't see anything there (no animals).

I would never spend my money at those places after experiencing the customer service and how knowledgeable they are about their products. I text my friend in Hawaii who is a pyro guy and i said, what is good from this certain fireworks company for the life of me I cant remember, but he said "EVERYTHING" is good from that company. I didn't believe him but after asking the workers there what is good, and they suggested a few cakes from that company, after setting them off during 4th of July, all the suggestions were great. The staff here is amazing and gives great suggestions on what your looking for. I told them what type of cakes i was looking for and he made a bunch of suggestions. ALL the suggestions they made turned out to be amazing. I was able to visit this place on the way back from picking up car parts. its a small hike from where I live but honestly its totally worth the nice drive. Oh getting to the place, I drove past it the first time and had to loop around. its kinda of tucked away from the main road, but they have big signage on the main road where you can't miss.

I learned the park is 16 acres large and has been around since 1899! The old trees are a sight to see, and the area feels like you're right in nature. The playground is vast and somewhat outdated, but the kids don't seem to mind. Many events take place here, too, including performances by the Aurora Players Theater and the Rotary Bandstand. Cars aren't allowed, and parking is limited; you might have to find parking on one of the side streets. I noticed there are restrooms too, and a couple of picnic shelters. Leave your beer, your dog and your snowmobile at home; they're not allowed, along with some other items you might want to look up before venturing out. It's a great public park and worth a stopover to relax and enjoy nature on one of the benches or bring a picnic and enjoy your time at one of the picnic tables. Truly, something for everyone.

There is also a stage in the park that features both free theatrical productions and ticketed productions. Check out Aurora Players for that information.
