On day two of our second consecutive weekend in Buffalo, we did a few more tourist attractions. We began the day with a visit to the Buffalo Zoo—one of the oldest zoos in America. 🦏 The Buffalo zoo began in 1875 as a zoological park with deer, elk, bison, and sheep. Over the years, it has grown considerably, more enclosures, and more animals with an emphasis on conservation. 🐘 The zoo still boasts many historic buildings from the late 1800s, including the Elephant house building, which you come upon almost immediately upon entry. The history and architecture of a zoo from the pre 1900s is the main reason for our visit. 🐆 #Buffalozoo #Visitbuffalo #buffaloarchitecture @buffalo_zoo @visitbuffaloniagara (at The Buffalo Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJctOBrFW_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
