3. What is the name of the international airport?

Answer: The Buffalo-Niagara International Airport

It used to be the Buffalo International Aiport, until they built the new one and added 'Niagara' to it!

4. Which is the largest institution of higher learning?

Answer: University at Buffalo

UB has two campuses - the Main St (south) and the Amherst (north). Most activities now take place on the north and the medical school is focused on the south.

5. What is the name of the biggest amusement park within an hour's drive?

Answer: Darien Lake

Darien Lake is the biggest! Marineland is in Ontario and doesn't have many rides, while Fantasy Island is on Grand Island and is the closest contender to being the biggest. And I made Buffalo Place up.
