We had a really nice time here! The train ride was fantastic. Lots of cool scenery to look at other then the exhibits. The day we visited it was not very crowded. So it made navigating the walkways much easier. I didn't get to take too many pictures as I didn't want to be on my phone and enjoying everything with my kiddo.

A must see for Erie. It is a great local attraction, especially if you haves kids or like to walk around with a great view of animals. Plenty of shade and places to sit if you need/want them. We attended zoo boo. Was fun, with friendly staff. Train ride was fun and animals were great to see. Definitely going back.

One of the best zoos I have visited! The orangutans are one of my favorites and they were playing around, engaging with visitors. Looked very happy. The staff were sweet as well. A man with animal pins reached out to me, seeing my sloth hoodie and showed me how to make a sloth pin. They were giving them out for a $1 donation each but we were so satisfied with our visit here, we gladly gave them $5. Can't wait to go back! :)

Erie Zoo is not huge, but definitely big enough for your money's worth! Great cardio workout and a great place for families with or without small children. Friendly staff and volunteers, it wasn't that busy when we went (Thursday), it's definitely a decent value for a day trip.

Really nice zoo with a beautiful train ride! Took me and my Husband about 2 hours to complete. Can't wait to see all the new improvements in the spring!
