If you have yet to take time to explore Buffalo, you may not expect to find lions, tigers, and bears (oh, my!) in the city, but that’s quite exactly what you’ll find here! Right within the heart of Buffalo, you can visit the third oldest zoo in the United States in operation and it’s home to all sorts of exotic animals that you’ve most likely never seen before in real life. For families looking for an animal-based outing that will offer a chance to be a bit more hands-on, take a look at this huge safari park just outside of the city that’s unlike anything else in the area.
Only 40 miles east of Buffalo, Wyoming County is home to its very own Safari Park and Tours that your entire family will have a blast exploring.
