What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with the planet’s amazing and diverse wildlife? Join us for Party for the Planet on Saturday, April 22, from 10:00 am–2:00 pm as we honor Earth Day and wildlife conservation. This annual celebration features keeper talks, animal ambassador meet and greets, and educational opportunities throughout the day. Many conservation organizations local to our Western New York Community will be in attendance to discuss how we can protect our beautiful planet and all who live on it. This is a value-added event; all activities are included with admission to the Buffalo Zoo.

This Earth Day and Arbor Day, we are asking our community to make any financial gift possible to assist in our efforts to replant the trees and other plants that were lost during the Buffalo Blizzard of 2022. All donations to our restricted Arbor Day Fund go directly to our Horticulture and Grounds Team to assist in their efforts to continue to create a beautiful natural space for all to enjoy. Thank you for supporting the Buffalo Zoo.
