Buffalo Zoo

No elephant exhibit? Only a single Asian elephant in an indoor cage, who was so disturbed to be caged inside during the day that he endlessly rocked back and forth in frustration and boredom? Screw your construction, either find a way to display all the elephants in their enclosure or quit the species altogether for the interim. What you're doing now is torture.

One Sea Lion. One. Really?

The reindeer have evidently flown back to the North pole. The enclosure is empty.

Tiger exhibit empty. Sad.

The Farm has ONE milk cow, four unhappy sheep, no pigs, no horses, a dollhouse sized chicken coop.

Two gorillas.

Three bison (hello, this is friggin BUFFALO!).

One big cat - a lion. ONE BIG CAT. One. I wanted to cry.

A pair of hyenas, the male of which is certifiably insane.

I love zoos, and I want to give every zoo I visit sparkly happy reviews, but I can't do it this time.

For the 2nd largest city in New York, this is one pitiful friggin zoo.

Which is not to say that we didn't have fun - we did! Much fun! And I might even pay full price for admission again.

But, seriously, Buffalo --- you're getting your ass kicked by far smaller towns in the zoo department. Man up, already.
