Buffalo Zoo Lights Up with Zoomagination Event

BUFFALO, NY — When the sun goes down, the Buffalo Zoo lights up with Zoomagination.

The Lantern and Light Festival runs from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and continues until September 22.

“We have about 39 lanterns throughout the zoo. They’re all different this year. The themes are: we have animals from Africa and Asia and cultural references and mythical creatures,” said Christian Dobosiewicz, marketing director for the Buffalo Zoo.

You can expect the zoo to be filled with a new array of lanterns, shows, food and drink specials, and vendors.

General admission for adults (ages 13 and up) is $19.95 online, children (ages 2-12) are $15.95 online, and children 23 months and under are free.

“It’s very impressive. It’s a great place to come and take Instagram photos and get into the reel game,” Dobosiewicz said.

On-site parking is available.
