Take It Outside
Get outside and wander the paths of Delaware Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and dotted with picnic spots and playgrounds, tennis courts and tucked away trails, and beautiful gardens. Every spring, admire the bursts of color from the cherry blossoms in the Japanese Garden, then in the summer, grab a FLOATmingo and paddle around Hoyt Lake or spread out a blanket for Shakespeare in the Park. Nearby, roam through the serene beauty of Forest Lawn Cemetery or get up close with animals from around the world at the Buffalo Zoo.
