Fisher-Price Little People® Exhibits Playground

Fisher-Price Little People® Playground The Buffalo Zoo’s first new attraction for this year opened on April 29. The Fisher-Price Little People® Playground is designed to complement the barnyard theme of both the Buffalo Zoo’s new Delta Sonic Heritage Farm exhibit and Fisher-Price’s signature barn playset. The new playground features a three- level spiral slide, a spacious tube crawlway, small “peaks” for climbing fun, balance beams, a fun for- est and concentration blocks for some mental playtime.

Delta Sonic Heritage Farm The Delta Sonic Heritage Farm debuted on May 20. Approximately 300 people attended the opening reception, including the County Executive, representatives from New York State Parks, the NxGen Program of the East Hill Foundation and Mentholatum. The Delta Sonic Heritage Farm is the first project to be built as part of Phase II of the Buffalo Zoo’s master plan. The family-friendly exhibit recreates a historic farm from the 1850s and replaces the former Children’s Zoo. This Erie Canal-era homestead features heritage breeds of domestic animals and includes a historic replica of an Erie Canal lock. The exhibit added several new species to our collection, including a Canadian mule, Devon cow, Berkshire pigs, Babydoll Southdown sheep, Dominique Delta Sonic Heritage Farm chickens and a Narragansett turkey. Through fun, hands-on interaction with live animals, activities, demonstrations and guided investiga- tions, children of all ages will understand the importance of a strong balance between undisturbed wild spaces such as wetlands for wildlife, and modified spaces, including farms and canals, for human existence. The exhibit is designed to help visitors understand the importance of water to wildlife and domestic farm animals, as well as the historic importance of water and the Erie Canal to people as a means of transportation for crops and other goods. A 35’ x 45’ barn was donated to the Buffalo Zoo by David Homes President David Stapleton and his family. Built during the 1850s, this barn was relocated to the Buffalo Zoo from Wheatfield, NY. The donation was made not only to save this historic structure from being demolished as new properties are built in its place, but also to ensure that the community can learn about the significance of the Erie Canal era. The cost of the exhibit is approximately $1.8 million. Major funding for this project comes from a public/private partnership, which includes leadership gifts from Erie County, The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, Delta Sonic, The Benderson Family and the NxGen Program of the East Hill Foundation. The exhibit was designed by Gwen Howard of Foit-Albert Associates.

New Entrance and Polar Bear Habitat In 2010, the Buffalo Zoo began design work on a new entrance and polar bear habitat. The decision was made to re-use the brick barn from the former Children’s Zoo as part of the entry complex. This will reduce costs and preserve this historic structure. Future Entrance The Entry Complex will include ticketing, membership, a gift shop and café, as well as a Great Lakes water feature. The polar bear exhibit, entitled Arctic Edge, will provide habitats for Arctic wolves, Canadian lynx and bald eagles, in addition to naturalistic exhibit space for the bears.
