Step inside Buffalo’s sweetest destination for Fowler’s Chocolates’ 22nd annual Factory Tour, happening Saturday, Nov. 8 and Tuesday, Nov. 11th at 100 River Rock Drive, Buffalo, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year, Fowler’s is proud to partner with the Buffalo Zoo as the event’s beneficiary, with a portion of the proceeds from every ticket supporting the Zoo’s mission to connect the community with wildlife and conservation.
Visitors can watch chocolatiers in action, see how Buffalo’s original sponge candy is made, and enjoy plenty of tasty samples along the way. Families will love the lineup of special activities, featuring appearances and photo opportunities with Willy Wonka and Santa Claus, plus two exciting new experiences from the Buffalo Zoo: a Zoo Photo Station and the chance to see and learn about surprise animal ambassadors who will be visiting on Nov. 8.
Children can unleash their creativity with the “Color Your Own Zoo Bar” crafts — custom coloring book–style candy bar wrappers designed just for the event.
“The Factory Tour has always been about bringing families together, and partnering with the Buffalo Zoo makes that experience even more meaningful,” said Ted Marks, owner of Fowler’s Chocolates. “We couldn’t imagine a better partner for this year’s Factory Tour.”
We’re thrilled to partner with Fowler’s Chocolates for this year’s Factory Tour,” said Lisa Smith, President and CEO of the Buffalo Zoo. “It’s a great way for our community to connect with a Buffalo staple while supporting the care of our animals and vital conservation work. We’re grateful to our friends at Fowler’s for their continued partnership.”
Outside, guests can refuel with Fat Bob’s Food Truck serving up BBQ classics and local favorites from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. before or after their tour.
The self-guided tours run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a midday closure from 12 to 1 p.m.
Children three and under are free and do not require a ticket. Tickets are non-refundable, and the event will be held rain or shine. Admission is valid only for the selected day and time slot purchased. Tickets are available now at www.fowlerschocolates.com.
