Wonderful alternative to Cleveland Zoo! Erie Zoo is so enjoyable because it doesn't take all day to see everything. It's small enough that you are not exhausted from walking from one end to the other in the blazing sun! There are many places to stop and relax in the shade and enjoy the day. And the carousel was such a nice surprise and ...

The zoo was small, it took us an hour to get around it. But we thought it was really nice and the price was great. It was just right for the kids to get around. I didn't have to rent a stroller for my 3 year old.

The Erie Zoo is the perfect size for toddlers. It's just the right amount of walking and animals to hold the attention of a busy toddler. The children's zoo is great and a ride on the miniture train is a must! Join up to become a member and goes as often as you want during the membership year AND get discounts at other participating ...

I love the fact that it's not expensive , and the kid's really enjoy all the different things there are to do . The Train ride is Great ! This is one place I'd recommend for anyone who wants to relax and enjoy themselves , while their child(ren) learn and get to see lots of different animals and their habitats !

I am not against zoos if they seem to be keeping happy animals, but I saw some pretty miserable looking animals when I visited.

The cheetah was walking the same figure 8 pattern over and over - it had actually created a path in the grass; the gorilla and orangutans looked depressed; the polar bear was clearly in a terrible mental state as it ...

I'd like to respond to the person who wrote that the female gorilla looked bored and sad. She is most likely sad as her mate died in March of 2005. The zookeepers had found a new mate for her in November 2005, but he died in transit to Erie. They found another male who died in May 2005 being prepared for transit. I imagine I'll be ...

A very small park (15 acres), the Erie Zoo is a nice zoo to take the little ones in your life. Facing obvious space constraints, the zoo offers a nice array of specimens in a uniquely laid-out, limited area. Exhibits of note - the powers-that-be have done a nice job transforming part of their older, main building into a home for orangutans and ...

My father and I took my year old son Michael to the Erie Zoo yesterday and not only was it fun for mike but it was also fun for me and my father , I have to say the amazing hands on was gr8! I enjoyed being so close to the kangaroos! AND almost being able to have the tropical birds come to us! I do think most of the animals needed more things to do ...

Erie isn't a big place, but what a great zoo... They've got great exibits and much more than you'd think. They just added a whole new kid-area with tons of activities. It's a place you could spend the day. Reasonable ticket prices, decent food, Oh, and don't forget to ride the train!!
