General admission is $10 per session, with Explorer Pass holders admitted free. Educators, school administrators and NFCSS members are invited to participate for only $5 per evening (50 percent off the general admission price). Please bring your school ID or proof of NFCSS membership with you to purchase tickets at the door, or contact Paige Melin at pa***@ex************.org to reserve in advance. Discounted rate applicable for up to two general admission tickets per ID.

In the event of extreme winter weather that requires cancellation of a session, a notice will be posted on Explore Buffalo’s website and Facebook and Twitter platforms by 5 p.m. An email will also be sent to all registered participants and a rescheduled date will be announced at a later time.

If there is a driving ban in effect in the City of Buffalo, the session will be automatically cancelled. As winter weather in Western New York often hits certain communities hard while sparing others, you are asked to use your best judgment based on local conditions and not to travel if you deem it unsafe to do so. Explore Buffalo will transfer your registration to a different date if you are unable to attend a session that does proceed as scheduled due to weather.
