Buffalo Zoo

ZOO

"Originally conceived as a deer park in the northeast corner of Frederick Law Olmsted's Delaware Park, The Buffalo Zoo was established in 1875. Spurred on by local donations of animals, The Zoo grew and rapidly developed between 1875 and 1930 and attracted great community interest and involvement. This growth led to the Zoological Society of Buffalo being founded in 1931."
