Last Day to Buy Buffalo Zoo Season Pass Before Massive Price Hike
Today's the last day to buy your Buffalo Zoo season pass before the price gets raised on May 1, 2024.
The Buffalo Zoo had previously announced that the price of admission was going up for the season. The announcement was met with a lot of criticism. After a ton of controversy on social media over the new prices, the Zoo sent a new price-point press release. The new announcement wasn't received any better.
People still think that price is too high for some people in Western New York.

The Buffalo Zoo has special days when you become a season pass or 'membership' holder. For example, if you are a season pass holder, you are able to go early to the zoo before everyone else. On May 4, you can go to the zoo at 9 AM versus the 10 AM opening for everyone else. You will also get a free coffee, team or hot chocolate when you go to for the 'early hour'.
