Silo City

This is a brownfield, the mill and surrounding areas have highly contaminated soil. Avoid the area with small children and avoid wearing open toed shoes. Decades of rat poison have resulted in high levels of hydrocarbons and arsenic. Wear appropriate clothing when urban exploring. Use high quality dust masks if entering silos, mold along with bird and rat droppings can make you sick.

Larry the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the buildings and silos. You can tell he loves his job because he's very enthusiastic to tell you stories and history on the silos. He loves his job so much that he even shows up when he doesn't have a tour just to walk around. He even researched some of the equipment and brand names of equipment so he could tell you what the equipment does. Great job Larry! Highly recommend this tour but I don't recommend this tour if you can't do stairs.

what an amazing hidden jem . you would never think of 1 turning down the road and 2 going all the way to the end. but when you do, there are so many hidden things to discover. they have a great walkway that guides you throughout the area. places you didn't think you could go to and see, but you can. along the way, you will find a great tree with a swing. a door that looks like something out of a stephen King movie. the food was great, and so was the service. what a great time .oh, they have indoor and outdoor stages for your music pleasure. It was our first time there, but we will definitely be back.

This place is awesomeness connect with nature

Duende is a hidden Gem, located in Silo City. It is a extraordinary bar filled with character. Although the menu is very small, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is delicious. My favorite dish was the shrimp croquets. The grounds are nothing like I've seen before. I've been to Silo City for past events, but the addition of Duende adds to the uniqueness of Silo City! The walk from the parking lot down the path to the bar was just as cool as the bar itself! I will definitely be returning soon!

Really cool site to see that is less popular with the typical tourist crowd. Old rusty silos for the various mills that is currently in operation or has long been abandoned. As with exploration of old abandoned industrial complexes, please be respectful of trespassing signage. The signs are there to keep you safe, as some of these large structures are quite old and may be not properly maintained. It's simply not worth it putting yourself in danger for the sake of a dark blurry photo that may or may not be viewed. For the complete shot of the area, you can either shoot from the actual river itself (boat required), or the Mutual Riverfront Park on the other side of the river with a telephoto lens.

Doing work here at silo city. As you look around you imagine what this place was like back in the day of operation. The history here is amazing. And standing near all these silos, you feel very small in this world.

Awesome place , enjoyed the tour and learning about the historic train box car there! Very interesting especially for Buffalo history buffs.

Strong shadows of concrete and industry tower over you, sounds and sights of renovations present and quit. Windows into routines of work fallen aside. A high repeating pride settles into monuments still sturdy in faded glory. I wish there had been an occasion to step inside a story told by one who knows.

Silo City is a very cool post industrial landscape. It is begging for guided tours of even the outside of some of the silos, especially ones on the water, as well as thoughtful redevelopment.
