The Buffalo Zoo

Love the relaxing atmosphere! The animals look well taken care of. All the different animal habitat's have a few fact's that adults and children can learn from. The only complaint is the food is kinda pricey and you're not allowed to bring outside food in.

Kudos to Buffalo for having awesome animals, and really decent space for the animals to roam. The polar bears have a stellar sweet up, giraffes are impressive, the Lions hang out is awesome, and the rhino is pretty awesome. I think it's better than DC zoo(near me) because smaller & easier to navigate because it's smaller and you can actually get through the park quite easily in a couple hours time.

It's a super fun place to go and they do a really good job with the space that they've got. They don't have room to expand, but they're often upgrading their exhibits. The zoo membership is well worth it if you plan to go more than a few times a year.

We visited in July while on vacation. It is a small zoo but nice and well maintained. We got there right after it opened and the grounds were all very clean. It cost us $5 to park in the zoo lot. You get a token which you will use to get out of the lot. Very happy to see that they offered recycling along side almost every trash can by partnering with Coca-Cola. Kudos to both as this was a pleasant surprise for us being a big recycling household. Even though it was not a huge zoo we were still there for 2.5 hours. We let our 3 year old lead the way and just enjoyed the sites. They had giraffes, rhinos and a polar bear among many other animals. They also had dinosaurs set up all over the property. Most were animated with noise, they even had one that spit water (kids favorite on a very hot day)! Not a place you will spend all day at but a nice way to spend a couple of hours for some family fun.

My kids loved it! Lots of animals, nice that you can get up so close to many of them (behind glass). I wish a lot of the enclosures were larger for the animals' sake... Very doable in 2-3 hours. The playground area left a lot to be desired... would be nicer if it was bigger/ more suitable for young kids.
