We asked you earlier this week, what you wanted to see on the Waterfront in Buffalo. Museums was a winner in our poll and now it has been announced that "Explore and More" Children's Museum in East Aurora has been chosen to operate a Children's Museum at Canalside.

The museum will be located at the site of the former Memorial Auditorium.

The museum, is expected to be open in 2016, will offer exhibits for children highlighting the Erie Canal, as well as other major exhibits such as The World Around Buffalo, Building Curiosity: Inside Architecture, Local Foods, Let's Get Physical, Make It Go! and others.
