Wild Wednesdays - July 5th
Wed, Jul 05, 2023-Wed, Jul 05, 2023

Wednesdays just got WILD! Every Wednesday in the month of July the Erie Zoo extends its hours for our members and visitors to enjoy an evening full of entertainment, late access to the zoo, keeper talks, and Erie Zoo Members get extra discounts!

The events are July 5th, July 12th, July 19th, & July 26th from 10 am-8 pm on each date.

Everyone is invited to enjoy extended zoo hours from 10am-8pm (last admission 7:15pm) with nightly family-friendly entertainment starting at 6 PM. Erie Zoo Members and their families will receive coupons for a free Smith's hotdog, free Coca-Cola soft drink, free train ride (please note our train is currently under unanticipated maintenance so you will receive a ticket good to use any time this season!), and free carousel ride. You won't want to miss it!

*Please note, coupon cards are issued only once upon the Erie Zoo Member's first Wild Wednesday visit. Visitors do NOT get a new coupon card each Wednesday. Coupons are valid on July Wild Wednesdays ONLY from 10am-8pm. It is recommended that you bring all people listed on your membership to the first Wild Wednesday you attend, so you can receive eligible coupons. Members get a coupon for everyone covered by their membership, including guest passes, that are present for the event.
