Guests can enjoy a hot breakfast buffet, seasonal activities, and a special meet-and-greet with Santa.

’Tis the season for one of Western New York’s favorite holiday traditions, Breakfast with Santa at the Buffalo Zoo! Families are invited to kick off the holidays with a festive morning of food, fun and unforgettable memories on Dec. 13, 14 and 20.

Guests can enjoy a hot breakfast buffet, seasonal activities, and a special meet-and-greet with Santa Claus and some of the Zoo’s incredible animal ambassadors. Each ticket also includes full-day admission to the Buffalo Zoo, allowing families to continue the magic long after breakfast ends.

This year, the Zoo is adding something extra special. For the first time ever, a very limited number of behind-the-scenes animal encounters will be available as add-on experiences.
