    About the Buffalo to Corning trip

    Visitors come to Corning for the Corning Museum of Glass, the Gaffer District, business at Corning Incorporated, and trips on to the Finger Lakes and Watkins Glen. From Buffalo it's about 124 miles (200 km).

    We pick you up at BUF arrivals or anywhere in Buffalo, such as downtown hotels, Clarence or East Aurora, and drive the Thruway to I-390 south, then I-86 (the Southern Tier Expressway) east to Corning. Drop-off can be the Corning Museum of Glass, the Gaffer District on Market Street, Corning Incorporated's offices or the Rockwell Museum, or any address you give us.

    The Corning Museum of Glass is the city's biggest draw, and the Gaffer District on Market Street is a short drive away.

    Route and timing

    • I-390 and I-86 are usually quiet; winter weather is what we plan around.
    • In winter, we keep an eye on lake-effect snow bands and adjust the pickup time if the forecast calls for it.
    • The New York State Thruway is tolled and uses cashless tolling, so there are no toll booths to stop at.
