- Kleinhans Music Hall (3 Symphony Circle)

- Wilkeson Pointe (225 Fuhrmann Boulevard)
Buffalo Outer Harbor (PC David Niedbala) - Facebook Buffalo’s Outer Harbor is another great spot to visit if you’re looking for a bit of whimsy. The most fairytale-like place at the Outer Harbor is Wilkeson Pointe – especially at sunset!
- Akron Falls Park (44 Parkview Drive, Akron)
Harshitha T - Flickr You have to travel a bit outside the city to get to this fairytale-like location, but we think the trip is worth it. Akron Falls Park is covered in lush moss, forest, and ferns – all surrounding impressive cliffs and beautiful waterfalls.
- Forest Lawn Cemetery (1411 Delaware Avenue)
Forest Lawn Cemetery - Facebook Okay, so most people’s fairytale scenarios don’t end up in a cemetery, but hear us out! Forest Lawn Cemetery is much more than just a burial ground. This popular Buffalo location boasts bridges, waterways, and well maintained sidewalks for your romantic stroll.
- Fountain Plaza (580 Main Street)
Buffalo Place - Facebook Last but not least, Fountain Plaza is often overlooked as being one of the most beautiful places in Buffalo. While it might get a bit of hustle and bustle during the average work day, Fountain Plaza transforms into a fairytale when all is calm. Enjoy the views on the reflecting pool and even ice skate on it in the winter months. This place is a dream!
