Darien Lake, just outside of Buffalo, is a hotspot for all forms of entertainment, offering thrills like the Blast Off tower that simulates a NASA launch, a waterfront boardwalk, light shows and concerts. At Martin's Fantasy Island the water rides, coasters and children's rides bring excitement to the Greater Niagara region.  

Seabreeze Park is the fourth oldest amusement park in America. Enjoy more than 70 attractions, including a water park near the breezy shores of Lake Ontario. By Chautauqua Lake, Midway State Park is a treasure trove of kid-friendly rides, games and lakeside views.
