You only live once. Or, as the kids say, “YOLO.” So why not make your one and only lifetime as exciting as possible? You don’t have to travel far or spend loads of money to experience amazing activities. Here are 9 epic adventures every Buffalonian must take before they die.
You have to cross the border for this one, but it's worth the hassle at the Peace Bridge to cross along the Falls on a zip line. This is one of the most epic adventures near the 716. We highly recommend adding it to your bucket list!
Hiking at Zoar Valley isn't for the weak, but if you love a good challenge, spectacular views, being surrounded by nature, and feeling like you've been transported to another world, this is the place to be. Take a leisurely hike or trek the tougher trails. Whatever you do – this is one adventure that shouldn't be missed.

This beloved waterfront destination offers fantastic fun all year long, but conquering the silo climb is one of our favorite activities here. This is one of the epic adventures you can only take advantage of in Buffalo. C'mon, live a little!
