5.00Highly recommended ! Excellent customer service ! Give yourself at least three hours to get there. Make sure you pack everything and what you’re going to wear. Make sure you have enough cash for parking $50 should be good enough, or can use Lyft ride sharing To take you there and drop you off.
We would do it again, except we didn’t get to see any Buffalo on the tour. I guess it’s hit or miss on that.

4.00Being with my family, who came to visit me from my hometown of Cincinnati. We met many people there from Cincinnati as well. It was kind of surreal.
