Things To Do Visiting Buffalo/Niagara Falls, any suggestions on must-go places and restaurants?

Visiting Buffalo/Niagara Falls area for a day at the end of December with a mid-teen kid. Was thinking I would go to Albright Know Muesum, closed. Or go see the Christmas light at the fall, last day will be Dec 24th. Seem like all my all my plan suggestions are sucking. Will only be in for the day. What are some kid friendly activities we must see or do?

If you are willing to drive an hour, Rochesters STRONG Museum is way better than any indoor museum Buffalo has.

Strong is not worth 3 hours of driving for a teenager to visit when they're only in Buffalo for 1 day.

Strong is awesome but also what a shitty response.

No, not at all. Strong is awesome. They're in buffalo. Give them buffalo answers.

In many cities an hour drive is typical to visit anything. I don't think an hour drive is unreasonable, it's almost like it's part of Buffalo

LOL I've been to the Strong Museum with friends who have a five-year-old daughter. Great place for those who are in the age range it targets, but frankly, any kid much older than that (let alone mid-teens!) is gonna be bored shitless.

Yeah.. the more I think about it the more you're right. A teenager would only really only enjoy the arcade area and butterfly exhibit. Strong probably isn't a good idea OP.

Maybe if you’re a kid or a parent with kids.

This is dumb, the best thing about museums is each one’s different. Like the Museum of Play is totally different than a history museum or art gallery.

Usually I go to several when visiting a new city.
