They make it greener, prettier and more accessible every year. A few good restaurants and ice cream joints, big rocks to walk on, sea gulls to feed (DON'T DO IT) and great view of Lake Erie, the lighthouse and behind you, our gorgeous city!

It is a good place to see the Lake Erie. The view is pretty good and the parking lot is very convenient. But everything depends on the weather. It is nice to visit when the weather is hot. If it is not, the wind is too big and it is hard for people to stay for a long time.

Glad to see the resurgence of the area. Long overdue what has been done to the marina. First time I could remember having trouble finding a parking spot.

My family and I visit the Erie Basin Marina often when the weather permits. We love The Hatch,one of many restaurants located right along the water. The landscaping has been improved and the boardwalk addition is great.

-Public park. Docks are private and rented annually. Access to docks is restricted to owners/docker holders only. No fishing in marina, Some events like 4th fire works, concerts can cause extremely long delays exiting the marina, plan for 2 hours after an event to exit the marina. Bring extra food, liquids in case of long delays out. Great venue for... More

Great place to go when the weather is nice. I recommend parking in or nearby the marina, go for a beautiful walk, enjoying a strong breeze, and continue along the water towards the naval park. Grab some cheap food at the hatch or somewhat expensive food at templeton landing, which offers some of the best views in buffalo from their... More

Our daughter"s boyfriend was visiting from out of town, but wanted to see the waterfront. In spite of the bitter wind that day, he really enjoy how beautiful it was downtown! Now he really wants to come back when the weather is warm to get the full benefit of our Marina!

The Erie Basin Marina is one of my favorite places in Buffalo. My family had a slip when I was a kid and my husband and I go there often in the summer time. We love to eat at the Hatch (typical hot dog stand food) and sit near the water. We love to then grab ice cream and talk... More

When we first thought of Buffalo, we almost shrugged it off as a stopover to Niagara Falls. We are so happy we took some time to see this magical gateway to the majority of America's fresh water. The city has recently spent hundreds of millions of dollars on waterfront improvements. It shows!!! The perfect place to sit on a colorful... More

This is one of my favorite places in Buffalo. Summertime is great- grab a cone or some lunch at Templeton's Landing... Grab a blanket and watch the sun set over Lake Erie... Park your car when a thunderstorm in coming in from the west... I love it!
