What a fun little day adventure! Fall foliage train ride on a crisp but sunny October day!…read more Ticket purchase was on line and for $25, what a deal! Showed up at the station early and was able to get some cute pictures. We were seated in the last car then noticed there was an outdoor car as well! We ended up sitting outside for the entire trip. There's no assigned seating in the back so it worked out great! Round trip is about 2h20m. And they run different things seasonally between Arcade and Attica. Would come back!

The Fall Foliage tour on Oct 13, 2024 was a little disappointing, but no one can plan far enough…read moreahead on weather. Although a cold and often rainy day for us, we had a fun and nostalgic ride with old engine #18, the only operational steam engine in New York State. Windows steamed up, which further muted any fall colors. The open air car would not have had that problem, but I was not that adventuress. Arcade, NY is less than an hour from downtown Buffalo. A pleasant drive, and lots of fall foliage to see en route. I estimate the number of passengers that day for our tour time slot was about 200. There is one ladies rest room in the depot, nothing in train cars. The rest room, a 2-seater, is down a narrow hall. Anyone with a walker or any mobility device cannot get in the line or else no one can get out. And, following a tour, the line is L O N G. Definitely a need for more facilities. No idea about the men's rooms. The train ride is a little over 2 hours in length. About half way, we had a stop for possible rest room or food (chilidogs). The lines were so long for this 20 minute or so stop that I never even saw the building. But I did get a penny flattened by #18 as it repositioned on a side track to take the train back the way we had come. An interesting and informative experience-- though often difficult to hear the conductor's travelogue above the clamor of hundreds of people and their several noisy children. I thought if I have the chance I will suggest that the conductor ask for people's attention before his narrative. (This is my chance.) Speaking of children. we had four wonderfully polite and considerate children in our car. They were mostly bored. You want nice weather for children to go on a slow moving train ride for two hours. At least in sunshine and clear windows, there'd be more to look at outside. But, as I say, these kids entertained themselves with being helpful wherever they could and in delightful conversation with other passengers. Kudos to the parents. Train goes rain or shine. That's a caveat that's worth keeping in mind. If weather ends up forbidding your plans, at least the ticket cost goes to a good cause: The Arcade & Attica Railroad affords a short trip into the 19th and 20th centuries of passenger rail travel. Especially if old #18 is working, as it was for us. If it is being repaired, your train is pulled by a diesel engine, but the cars still provide a taste of the past.

So my nephew was turning 16 yr old, he didn't want an actual party but did wanna do something fun…read morewith his cousins doing his favorite thing...gaming. After searching for a near and wide, my sister found Orions Landing, which proved to be beyond our expectations. We had a group of 5 teenage boys who were hungry and full of energy. We were planning on doing a walk session, it was 3pm but online, they stated their next session wasn't until 6. We called to verify, the manager said there was party coming in if we made it in before 4 p.m., he could accommodate us earlier. Bet!!! So we made it in exactly at 4pm. Our crew was able to choose two 30 minute games for $35 each. While the teens played we adults also played !! They had a giant Jenga, chess board, table hockey, and a bunch of other arcade games. Speaking of adult time !! They actually had adult beverages and not just beer and cider but actual ALCOHOL!! I definitely see myself planning an adult birthday party or fun meet-up here !! We also indulged in some pretty cheesy mozzarella sticks that weren't overcooked. When the boys got they were treated to in house made pizza !! We got the traditional cheese and pepperoni, I was actually really surprised that this pizza was actually really good !! Cup and pep, nicely portioned cheese and sauce and perfect dough !! One of the owners, who I might add is such a nice truly guy, said that they use fresh ingredients. We can definitely tell !! In additional they have all sorts of other food, like fries and pizza logs the list goes on and on !! Our crew had such a fun time and my nephew is still smiling about his experience. Oh might I add Orion Landing was opened under a different name and location prior to covid. We took my nephew and his same crew minus a few 6 years ago! Even more impressive one of Owners remembered us and enjoyed a laugh with is at how much the kids had grown and other fun moments of the previous party we had. I'm so glad to say same great service, with a much Improved atmosphere!! In addition to Vr gaming they have a virtual escape room and a neon paint splatter room !! I can't stop tell people about our experience!! A great place for older kids and adults alike!! We will definitely be back time and time again !! So should you !!

I had never been here before in in spite of frequenting the Chautauqua area, my whole life. But, I finally had an occasion because my tiny niece was the perfect age for this place. There were a ton of rides that were perfect for her as a three year-old. Also, they had rides that were good for ages 4 to 6 as well. She really enjoyed the little roller coaster. Watch out that it is actually a little rough for the adults to ride on because it does jerk a little. Also, there were some really cute little boat rides, including one that took took the children around in a circle. There was very little that she was too small to ride on, so it was completely fantastic. Also, we were able to get her a wristband that gave her all inclusive access to rides. For a few rides that do require adult accompaniment for littles, the adult gets to ride free. There's a food spot towards the bottom of the hill and I highly recommend it. I was able to get platters of fries and corn, dogs and pizza, for not too much money. This is a clutch when it came to reducing the chance of overstimulated little kid meltdowns. Also, it was very sunny, and there was very little shade, so bring the sunscreen. Also, they have free boat parking. So, boating over and walking in is a great option if you happen to have or be renting a boat.

This place also has ice cream. Which kept her pretty busy. Walking in the place is welcoming. There are arcade games to the left as soon as you walk in. There is also a table game board with Pac-Man, Mario and a bunch of others. You can tell they use fresh bread when you can see it on the cooling rack by the kitchen. We both ordered smash burgers. The burgers were not seasoned, I understand some people don't like a lot of seasoning but they were almost bland. Now the roll is worth the burger. I love bread and they used fresh rolls for their burgers. The vegetables looked fresh but the tomato didn't have any flavor. My wife got the potato salad and I got the Mac and Cheese. My wife says the potato salad was okay but also a little bland. The Mac and cheese was also kinda bland. Now maybe I am used to a lot of flavor We will probably try this place again with other menu options.

Misuta Chows is known as the best place is Buffalo for Japanese Bar Food, an establishment that captures the meaning of the term "Late Night Bite". This place screams Hang Out, where you can come later in the Evening to get your Grub on. After watching the Buffalo Bandits be triumphant once again, we needed to find somewhere to get some Food. I called about 4 different Restaurants. It was a little after 10:30 at night, I then called Misuta Chows and they told me that the Kitchen was still open for another 25 Minutes. We rushed on over to the Main Street area parked and walked into this Casual Setting. Once we sat at the Bar, we put in our Drink Orders, I got a Cocktail named after one of the most Iconic Cartoon Characters of all time - Spongebob Squarepants. What I thought was gonna be a square shaped glass filled with Orange Juice and Lemon Liqueur or Vodka. It turned out to be a Mason Jar filled with a vibrant pink concoction of Milagro Tequila, Prosecco and Grenadine. Along with both Lemon and Pineapple Juice, the title was a bit misleading. Even after finishing the drink, it wasn't enough for me to do Spongebob's high-pitched Laugh. Emily got the Burning Pumpkin that had Pumpkin Whiskey, Rum Chata and Chai Tea Latte. Mike had the Tailgate Toddy, what looked like Hot Tea was packed with Alpine Spice Whiskey, Alpine Preserve Liqueur, Honey Liqueur and Plum Bitters served in a tall White Mug. After sipping our drinks for a short Bit, we put in our food orders before the Kitchen closed. Also while I was there, I saw that one of my chef buddies, Andrew Berger was in the back cranking out the Food. For our Entrees Emily got the Pork Belly Rice Bowl with Pickled Vegetables and a Soft-Boiled Egg. Mike got the Coconut Chicken Laksa with a Skewer standing up in the Middle of the Bowl. I got a bowl of Lobster & Shrimp Ramen and some Pork Belly Bahn Mi Bao Buns. The Broth was jam packed with so much intense Shellfish flavor, the Egg gave it some Richness and Sweetness from the Corn. The Seafood was cooked perfectly, I slurped down those Noodles with Gusto. On the Buns that were lightly Toasted, the Pork was Crispy jammed inside the Buns with Cilantro and Jalapeno's, it was reminiscent of the Vietnamese Classic Sandwich. I had another Cocktail to go with it, it was a "Monster" of a Drink called Godzilla. Named after the iconic Monster himself. Vibrant green drink made from Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey, Green Tea Simple Syrup, Fresh Lemon and Peach. Its a true shame that this drink didn't give me Atomic Breath that Godzilla does to defeat his Enemies but a few more of those and I would've had an Atomic Hangover. On the 2nd Floor, I loved all the Pinball machines, the Skeeball, the Dance Floor and the Pink Hello Kitty Stairway hidden in the Back. Its a shame that Misuta Chows has closed its Doors, I don't think there will be place like that in Buffalo ever again. I say to Misuta Chows, SAYONARA. !!!
