Recent Announcements from the Erie Zoo

We are excited to announce that we won two categories for the Erie's Choice Awards this year. We placed first for "Best Place to Work" AND "Best Place to Have a Birthday Party." A HUGE thank you to everyone who voted for us! We truly appreciate your support!

Nigel, a 9-year-old giraffe, will leave the zoo at the end of this month, Scott Mitchell, Erie Zoological Society president and CEO, said on Thursday.

*Update: Nigel moved October 28th 2020*
