Spirit of Buffalo is docked at Canalside, right next to the warships. Tickets can be bought online…read moreor at the booth (buying in person saves the processing fee). They offer a history tour, tiki boat ride, and a sailboat ride--just note the each sailing requires at least eight people to sail. They will cancel the door if they do not have eight people so call the J before to see how many people are booked on your sailing. I did the sunset sail, and it was fantastic. Tickets were $42 ($54 with a cocktail). There's a full bar and light snacks on board, plus a restroom. The sail lasted about two hours. There were only 25 guests onboard. This made the boat feel spacious and relaxed. The views were stunning--sunset over the Buffalo skyline, sailing past the Peace Bridge, and city lights on the way back. The crew was friendly and fun, and the captain went out of his way to chat and even raise the Bills flag for photos. Pro tip: bring a jacket or blanket, it gets chilly! I think it would be a great idea if they sold inexpensive blankets with the ship name on them for $10-$15. People would've bought them because it was cold and They would also make a great souvenir.

Zero stars if I could. Never even boarded the boat and they're still hounding us for feedback…read more We booked a sailing out of Rochester that was cancelled due to inclement weather. We never set foot on the boat. Fine -- weather happens. What's not fine is the endless stream of feedback requests, surveys, and "how was your experience?" emails that keep coming after the fact. It's like their system has no idea the trip never happened and just keeps spamming people who got cancelled on. Basic competence would be to stop the automated feedback blasts for cancelled or no-show trips. Instead we're getting treated like we actually sailed. It's lazy, tone-deaf, and just plain stupid. If you can't even turn off the survey emails for people who never boarded, that says a lot about how the rest of the operation runs. Do better.

Such a let down after they renovated it for 2 years…read more I used to love sitting at a table in the shade with my book and watch my family bring our dogs down there to play and now I can't even do that because the tables and chairs are gone and they build up the rock wall around the beach. The beach is still inaccessible there are giant cement blocks so it's not a straight shot down for a wheelchair and the grass around them is very uneven and hilly like ground for a wheelchair to go over and I got stuck in the rocks and had to ask people to help push me out, then on the way back to the walk way (video I posted) my wheelchair was going to flip. There are small simple things that they could have been done, I've been to other beach's that have strips over the sand/ rocks that wheelchairs can ride over. The building looks nice they added a small golf course. To me it seems like all they did was build the restaurant and build up the rock walls especially around the beach.

The park itself had various terrains, and different trails to follow, a little creek, which was a win for him, as he loves to search for fossils. The trails are color coded and well marked, with a convenient map when you start your adventure. Highly advised to make sure to wear bug spray, as we both were bit up alive without it. Overall, not crowded, little of an easy challenge for a hike, and very scenic.

Updated review 8/9/26…read more Another great WNY/Buffalo summer experience. I have increased my rating of the Moondance catamaran boat ride, leaving the Erie Basin Marina. Even though the boat does not sail out onto a Lake Erie as far as one would expect, $28 for a cruise at sunset especially is definitely worth it. The views of the Buffalo skyline, the lit up silo and the Naval Park, are spectacular from the water. Next year, I'm considering buying a season pass. This way I can enjoy the sailing anytime I want. as much as I want during the sailing season. Cocktails are reasonably priced on board. You're allowed to bring your own food and snacks from home. The music to accompany the tour was a little loud at first, but then turn down which was appreciated. The captain and his crew were friendly and gave good advice on before the sail began. The ramp from the dock makes it easy for those with disabilities to board and exit the ship. There are two bathrooms below deck. But they do require some stairs to go down.

When planning our event, I had been in communication with Rachel for approximately six months…read moreregarding scheduling a bachelorette boat cruise. Throughout this time, I was waiting on a finalized dinner menu, which I was originally told would be provided in January but was not shared with me until April. Because I did not receive the necessary menu and details needed to move forward, I never signed a contract for the date and time that was being discussed. Despite this, communication continued as though the date and time were being held and finalized. Unfortunately, due to the lack of timely communication and formal confirmation, I lost the originally discussed time slot. The alternative time offered did not work for most of my group, resulting in many of my guests being unable to attend. Rachel was not kind or understanding about the issue and did not provide helpful support in resolving the situation, which added to the frustration. That being said, Captain Bruce Andrews was amazing, and the food was actually pretty good.
