Erie Zoo offers animal exhibits and landscaped grounds in the city’s Glenwood Park area.

The compact setting makes it a practical outing for families interested in wildlife and a change of pace from Erie’s lakefront attractions.
Use the zoo’s current map and activity calendar to plan around the habitats and programs that interest your group. Animal visibility and individual exhibit access can change with care needs, weather and maintenance. Check seasonal opening arrangements and admission information before arriving, and allow time to explore at a comfortable pace rather than rushing between exhibits.
Visitor details reviewed October 18, 2026. Check official visitor information for current access, admission, and operating arrangements. View on OpenStreetMap.
