42 / JANUARY.FEBRUARY.2019 USICERINKS.COM The 'Unexpected Buffalo' is full of activity If you're looking for a little playtime after you've done your work, Canalside offers kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, boating, and waterbikes (yes, waterbikes) for rent. With more than a thousand activities planned throughout the year, there's never a shortage of things to do at Canalside. Depart with your watercraft of choice and head up the Buffalo River for fun in the sun at RiverWorks—a multi-season beer garden, restaurant and all-ages play- ground featuring high-speed ziplining between historic grain elevators, a two- level ropes course, and rock climbing up the side of the towering silos. Not looking to break a sweat or test your adventure skills? The high-rolling action at downtown's Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino might be better suited for you then. With slots, card tables and lots of potential winnings to take home, it's definitely worth a stop. Or head over to the old ball park at Sahlen Field to catch the Toronto Blue Jays' AAA minor league team, the Buffalo Bisons. Plus, there's more Buffalo is just a short 25-minute ride from the natural spectacle, splendor and adven- ture of Niagara Falls. Book a ride to the foot of the falls on the Maid of the Mist or get soaked on the Hurricane Deck of the Cave of the Winds. The choice is yours, but why not do both? The revitalization throughout Buffalo is real and the world is beginning to take notice. We're embrac- ing our historic archi- tecture and adapting it with modern comforts. We're breaking the norms of contempo- rary cuisine by blending it with our blue- collar favorites, and pioneering new ways to enjoy our place on the beautiful Great Lakes. We've been hard at work during this renaissance and now we're ready for company.
