Hertel Avenue Murals for Kids: Free Family Walking Tour
Get ready to see Buffalo through a very colorful lens! Explore Buffalo's Hertel Avenue Murals for Kids Walking Tour takes families on a 45-minute adventure through one of the most vibrant and surprising hidden gems in all of North Buffalo: the Hertel Avenue mural alleyway. What was once just an empty back alley behind a few local businesses is now a beautiful outdoor gallery — and kids absolutely love it. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, the alley bursts with color, creativity, and stories waiting to be discovered. Every turn brings something new to spot, point at, and talk about. The tour is free, stroller friendly, and designed specifically for families with children aged 5 to 10. Space is limited to 15 guests, so reservations are required.
