Affordable Fun At The Buffalo Zoo

Labor Day – for many, a day of family picnics and get-togethers, fun and laughter, good food and good times. The Buffalo Zoo is all too aware of the way families enjoy each other companies on this day in the warm weather for one last time as the summer ends. So to help families out, they’re making get-togethers easier by lowering admission prices and discounting food items.
For just a dollar with a coupon on September 1st, visitors will gain regular admission to the zoo. The coupons are available at Tops Markets in Erie and Niagara Counties. Tops, Fox 29, and WBEN 930AM are helping the Buffalo Zoo present this great opportunity to the area. By making admission so affordable for a day when families make plans to spend the day together, they’re giving families the chance to have a learning experience and fun at the same time.
To increase the already friendly atmosphere of the zoo, the zoo is setting up a bounce house and doing animal feedings. They’re also discounting select food items so that once families are in, they don’t have to worry about packing a lunch just to keep the day inexpensive. They’ll be open from 10 AM until 4 PM, so get your coupon this weekend and be sure to head over to the zoo!

In the meantime, posting will be light as we log new stories in the new publishing system which will only be viewable when we launch on Friday.
As always, we appreciate our users’ patience as we make this transition but we promise it will be well worth it. With faster load times, a comment view …
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …
Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess. That is the news coming out of a Buffalo Place meeting this morning. Facing a budget shortfall and reduced State operating assistance, the NFTA is scrambling for new revenue sources and is contemplating charging for rides along the lengthy downtown pedestrian mall.
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …

My favorite is watching the confused animals slowly lose their minds. I can't wait for my next animal friend to suffer a public death for the amusement of humans in this happy little house of horrors.

this 'zoo' is a relic of the Victorian era....modern zoo's do not treat animals this way.

The zoo is accredited to the same standards as "modern" zoos.
