Local vendors, Erie Zoo partner up for Equipment Day 2023

A popular event returns to the Erie Zoo Saturday.

Equipment day, one of the Erie Zoo’s busiest days, gives children the opportunity to see heavy machinery up close.

The zoo has teamed up with local vendors to have dump trucks, fire trucks, excavators, tractors, and other big machines on site.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free with paid admission or an Erie Zoo membership.
