Presentations in the Zoo Classroom

The Erie Zoo is proud to provide you and your class or group with quality programs that will bring topics to life. Don't forget that we can often tailor a presentation to suit your group's needs and all programs are prepared for the age level attending. These 30-60 minute presentations are available to groups of 30 or fewer. The Proposed PA Academic Standards addressed by each program are available upon request.


Thirty minute presentations are $50 for up to 30 people.  Thirty minute programs for up to 50 people are $70. Presentations in the Erie Zoo Classroom are available year-round (limited in summer). To schedule a classroom presentation, please call the Education Department at (814) 864-4091 or email kbowes@eriezoo.org.

Guided Tours

Guided tours are walking adventures that take your group of 30 or fewer to the animals' exhibits to observe firsthand the unique behaviors and adaptations of the creatures of the Erie Zoo.  Tours are best suited to school-aged groups and adults and last 30 minutes or an hour.  We can tailor a tour to suit your group's educational needs.  You must pre-register by calling the Education Department to reserve a presentation for your group.  Walking tours are NOT available mid-April to mid-June

 Cost: $50 per group of 30 or fewer.  $45 per additional group from the same school on the same day  To schedule, call Kim at (814) 864-4091 x 1127 or email kbowes@eriezoo.org
