How to Buy Buffalo Zoo Tickets or a Membership

Updated

You can buy Buffalo Zoo tickets and memberships directly through buffalozoo.org: the site's main navigation has dedicated Tickets and Membership links, and the homepage also carries a BUY TICKETS button. Before you go, note the published public hours: the Zoo is open 7 days a week, 10:00 am–5:00 pm, with last entry at 4:00 pm. The site also displays a separate "TODAY'S HOURS" line (9:00 AM–9:00 PM in the captured page), so confirm the current day's hours on the site before traveling, especially for evening events.

Buying tickets on the site

  1. Open buffalozoo.org.
  2. Use the Tickets link in the main navigation (or the BUY TICKETS button on the homepage).
  3. Follow the ticket page to select and purchase your admission.

The site does not publish ticket prices or payment methods in the material available here, so check the ticket page itself for current pricing and checkout options. If you have questions, the Zoo lists a phone number: (716) 837-3900.

Membership

The Membership link sits in the same main navigation as Tickets, alongside Donate and Adopt An Animal. The site presents membership as one of its core visitor options, but the specific benefits and cost are not detailed in the available page content — review the Membership page for what a membership covers before deciding whether it suits you.

Other ways to support the Zoo

If you want to contribute beyond a visit, the navigation lists:

  • Donate — a general giving option.
  • Adopt An Animal — an animal sponsorship program.

Both are reachable from the top-level menu on every page.

Planning around events

The Zoo runs seasonal programming, and some events may involve separate ticketing or extended hours. The captured page highlights fall events such as the Enchanted Pumpkin Trail (glowing pumpkin displays, after-dark access to Destination Dinosaur, themed photo opportunities, and seasonal food and drinks) and a family-friendly Halloween event with a trick-or-treat trail for children ages 2–12 and live entertainment. Check each event's "More Info" page for whether general admission covers it or a separate ticket is needed.

Quick checklist before you buy

  • Confirm the day's hours on the site, since posted hours and "today's hours" can differ.
  • Check the Tickets page for current prices and any date-specific options.
  • Read the Membership page for benefits if you plan repeat visits.
  • For event nights, verify whether your ticket includes the event.
  • Call (716) 837-3900 if the site doesn't answer your question.
