The Zoo was the place to be for trick-or-treating

We had a great turnout for our family Halloween extravaganza, ZooBoo, with nearly 4,400 attending on the last day (Oct. 23) due to the fabulous sunny weather, but each day featured some great costumes from the community. Check out some of the photos below – thanks again for your tremendous support!

Why are animals so important?

We helped to answer that question and more during today’s Genesee Trail Day event. Visitors could stop at any of the various stations set up throughout our own Genesee Trail to learn about the importance impact of animals in the daily lives of the Seneca Nation of the Iroquois, including eagles, hawks, bears, deer, wolves and more. Members of the Seneca Nation of the Iroquois belong to one of eight clans, each named for an animal that is believed to have special magical or spiritual attributes!
