Best Places to Take Dad on Father’s Day in Buffalo – Our Top Five
I don’t know about you but my Dad has always put his kids needs ahead of his own. As a child I could not understand why he never did more things that he enjoyed. Most of the time he was driving us here and there, going to one of our baseball or basketball games, helping us with our homework when he could have been watching the Bills game on TV. It wasn’t until I became a father that I began to understand why my father did what he did. When you have a child of your own a switch goes off in your body that makes you want to do nothing but look after your children.
This Father’s Day we should all show how much we appreciate what our father’s have sacrificed and treat them to a day of relaxation and fun, but most of all spend time with them.
Here are our top five places to take Dad on Father’s Day.
The Spirit of Buffalo
Erie Canal Harbor – Central Wharf
next to the Buffalo Naval Park
If your dad enjoys nautical nonsense take him on a dinner and sail trip on The Spirit of Buffalo.

Dinner and sail includes a two hour sailing trip and dinner at Peal Street Grill. Adult tickets are $49 and children under 12 are $18.
Buffalo Naval Park
