For $10 you can visit both ships a submarine, museum and shed and outdoor exhibits. We spent hours there. There is also a nice little shop and pub in the main building. It's not suitable for everyone though as there is a lot of climbing up and down ladders and quite cramped on the submarine. Great day out

Loaded with a sense of sacrifice and dedication when you view the ships and the various was Memorials. So much to see and do kayaking, grain mills, restaurants, the arts... and more to come always

An absolute awesome day at a very underrated park. It was definitely cold and windy that day, but totally worth braving the elements! The majority of the ships are not heated (and I would assume may not be air conditioned in summer) so dress appropriately… and do not wear high heels, wedges or slippery shoes. You are actually climbing up/down... More

An interesting and unusual tour and good value for money given you get to tour three separate ships including a submarine. Older children will enjoy it although those with no interest in military history may get tired by ship number three! There are quite a few steep steps and small hatches that might be difficult for those with mobility problems.

The Naval Park in Buffalo is really an under-rated attraction. The park features three retired naval vessels. The fees are very good. Makes are excellent complement to a Buffalo shopping trip. If you go in the spring or fall, dress more warming as the ships are not heated. When you visit the submarine where a hat - that way you... More

Lots of cool Navy ships and submarines here to see, and a beautiful spot on the water. Buffalo is looking to revitalize their waterfront from an industrial wasteland to tourist destination, and the park is a great part of that! Look forward to see where they go from here.

Tour 3 retired vessels - an easy day trip from Toronto. Loved the submarie, talking to the vets and the easy to follow self-guided tour. Located in a great park. A lot of up-down on metal ladders - wear good shoes and do not weigh yourself down with too much "stuff". Leave what you can in the car! Make sure... More

For the price that it was, I would love to return again, as they have expanded this since I went. You can see it from the marina but you can not tour

This was really a cool naval park. the only bad thing, was we happened to be there when it was ungodly hot out and the ships were roasting inside, as they are obviously not air conditioned. In addition to the famous SS Sullivans ship (this was fascinating....the history of how it was named was truly moving) and 2 other sizable... More
