Buffalo Pedal Tours are a great way to bike around Buffalo like never before! There are several tour options available - from downtown pub crawls to meandering through Canalside and even hitting the water on a Cycle Boat Tour! Whatever you decide, this is one activity that definitely deserves a spot on your Buffalo summer bucket list.
The Moondance Catamaran is a 75-passenger catamaran that sets sail on Lake Erie for group charters and individual tours. Opt for an afternoon cruise to soak in the sun or opt for an evening outing for an on-board wet bar and dinner options.
Remember when we mentioned our love for Buffalo River History Tours? We really meant it! Booking a trip on these educational - yet entertaining - tours are a great addition to any Buffalo summer bucket list!

Touristy? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely! The Buffalo Double Decker Bus is brand spankin' new downtown, and it's quickly climing to the top of our need-to-check-out list. Add it to your Buffalo summer bucket list and let us know what you think!
Summer concerts are the best, but what's even better are CHEAP summer concerts! Canalside hosts a slew of shows available for around $5 a ticket, which makes it a no-brainer for your Buffalo summer bucket list.
Food trucks. Live music. Summer weather. Be there or be (Larkin) Square! Mark your calendar for every Tuesday during the summer for this must-visit Buffalo event.
Bored on your lunch break downtown? If it's a Tuesday or Thursday, head to Main Street to check out the Downtown Buffalo Country Market! This market is on the smaller side, but the vendors always come to impress with fresh flowers, produce, and one of our personal favorites, Duke's Donuts!
Take yourself out to the ball game this summer at Coca-Cola Field to watch the Bisons play America's favorite pastime. It might seem like a no-brainer, but this is definitely one activity that NEEDS a spot on your Buffalo summer bucket list.
Canalside is great for people-watching, Shark Girl selfies, dining, and outdoor activities, but it's also a great spot to soak in some knowledge on Buffalo's past. The Naval Park is a great place to step back in time and get an up-close and personal view of some seriously impressive military ships and airplanes.
Delaware Park, Tifft Nature Preserve, Buffalo Outer Harbor, Elmwood Village... wherever you choose to take in the scenery of the city, a walk is almost always the best choice to truly experience all that Buffalo has to offer.
