School Field Trips
Experience the ultimate school field trip at Buffalo RiverWorks. From the ropes course and silo climbing to kayaking, skating and rides on the water, we make it easy to give your students a day of learning, play and unforgettable memories.
Get ready for the best day ever
Private field trips for groups of 12 or more. Schools, camps, clubs and youth groups, on a weekday that fits your calendar.
Half day or full day, with the activity mix you choose, plus the option to add lunch at The Ward for a seamless visit.
RiverWorks instructors gear students up and run every adventure, so safety, instruction and supervision on the equipment are handled.
Ropes course, silos, river, rink and rides on a single downtown Buffalo site, so the whole day happens without getting back on the bus.
Field Trip Activities
Make your next field trip unforgettable with adventure, team games and wide-open space on the Buffalo River. With activities for every group, students stay active, engaged and energized.
Ropes Course
Two levels of bridges, beams and cargo nets suspended above the rink, finished with a zipline. Harnesses and instruction are included, and our staff clip in every student.
Zip Lining
A guided silo-to-silo tour with four ziplines and a rope bridge, high above the Buffalo River. The biggest thrill on the property and the one they talk about on the bus home.
Silo Climbing
Historic grain silos turned into multi-level climbing walls, with routes for first timers and routes that will humble your gym teacher. All ages, closed-toe shoes.
Kayaking
Paddle the Buffalo River straight from our dock. Jackets, paddles and safety gear are included, and a guide sets the route. A strong seasonal add-on for older groups.
Ice and Roller Skating
Our covered rink runs ice in the winter and roller in the warmer months, with the derby track alongside it. Skates are available on site, so nobody sits out.
Riverland Rides
The Kids Train, the Fun Slide, the Happy Viking, Jawz Drop and the Buffal-O Ferris Wheel. Family-friendly and seasonal, and the easiest win for a younger class.
Backyard Games
Cornhole, bocce, giant Jenga and other quick team games in one open block. A lower-pressure stretch of the day that still keeps everyone moving.
Lunch at The Ward
Add group dining and keep the whole day on one site. Boxed lunches are $15 per person and a pizza party is $110, with vegan and vegetarian options on request.
