I've read virtually all of the excellent and very good reated reviews and agree with all of them. Do yourself a favor and go to the observation deck on the 28-th level for awsome views, at least on a clear day. The last 3 levels are walk-up and the levels are extra tall. Take a parka in winter since the best views are from the outside. Inside, there are semi-clean windows to make your observations from.

Having lived here my entire life, I was surprised to learn what I didn't know about Buffalo's beautiful City Hall. There is amazing artwork and the architecture is incredible. I went to the top on a clear day and looked out to see some gorgeous sites. Do go on a tour.

The outside of City Hall is a fabulous structure. Inside, you take an elevator to the 25th floor. Then, walk up 3 flights of stairs to observation deck - WHICH IS FREE.Views are from inside and a small deck that is outside. You can get a 360 degree view of Buffalo. What this allows you to see is how Buffalo was laid out as spokes from a center point at City Hall. Very sharp. The views of a changing city are well worth the time to go up.

The tour was interesting and the building beautiful. Heard a lot of history and current situation about Buffalo. We even grabbed a snack in the basement. The Observation Deck is great!

We took an out of town friend to see city hall. The architecture of the building is gorgeous Art Deco. The building is some what run down as seen in the elevators. The architecture of the elevators is great, but they desperately need renovation. Views from the top level are nice of downtown area, but again the top level needs cleaning and updating.

My family visited City Hall this past Thanksgiving. The observation deck was opened and we were able to see Buffalo from every angle. The architecture was also awesome.

There are frequent free public tours of Buffalo City Hall. It is a must for art and architecture lovers. The building also hosts an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the city.

We went on the Saturday(11/29) of Thanksgiving weekend. There was only 1 door(out of 4) open. It was deserted. An elevator took us most of the way but we had to walk 3 flights up to the observation deck. It was windy but the view was breathtaking. The balcony encompasses the entire building so we were able to get views in all directions. It was worth the effort.

Every weekday at noon they do a free tour of city hall. Starting fro outside and moving all the way up to the top, they show you everything.. mayor's office, common council chamber, architecture, history.. and it's free! Definitely a must do.

There's a free observation desk on top floor. Just take the elevator to last floor and walk two or three more floors up.

This is an imposing beautiful Art Deco building in downtown Buffalo.When discovering unexpected architectural delights in the city, this is a must to visit. Sadly the rest of the city is decaying rapidly

If you are visiting Buffalo be sure to take a tour of city hall. Tours are offered free of charge at noon on weekdays. The view from the observation deck is spectacular.

A lot of places charge for their viewing platforms, but this one is free. It's a great way to see the architecture in Buffalo, as well as a view across the water into Canada. There's a tour at noon, but unfortunately, we didn't take it.

The lobby of this building is amazing and tells a lot about the history of Buffalo, which was still prosperous enough in 1932 to build this amazing Art Deco skyscraper. After viewing the lobby, we headed up to the city council chambers and then on up to the top of the building (32 stories) for a 360 degree of Buffalo and Lake Erie.

We took the free tour that stretched a little over an hour with a little too much detail. It included stops at the mayor’s office, the Council Chamber (with its sun-ray ceiling), and the 28th floor observation deck with panoramic views of the city and Lake Erie from eight sides. The building is an elaborate (and huge) Art Deco marvel with beautiful murals and detailed stone carvings inside and outside. There’s a parking garage in the next block; on-street parking is very hard to find.
