From the reviews
This is probably the best venue I've been to for a concert, and I've been to countless concerts in Buffalo/Rochester over the years. We just saw AFI and I was fully prepared to stand for the show, which is expected but sucks when you're getting old.
So much fun in the adventure area! My adult daughter came to visit and we purchased the $50 combo tickets and had a beautiful kayak paddle, did the excellent medium and high ropes courses, and the ziplines (the rough stops were a little hard on my neck but the views were amazing).
Best concert venue I've been to!! Love the setup, the balcony. Took inside pics so hopefully you can get an idea of setup! Has a great night!
Buffalo RiverWorks is easily one of the best concert and entertainment venues in Western New York. The atmosphere is incredible, the layout is extremely well thought out, and the overall experience is always comfortable and enjoyable no matter how busy it gets.
Getting married at Buffalo RiverWorks
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
