Starting Monday, Erie Zoo visitors are no longer required to buy their tickets online and arrive at a scheduled time in order to see the otters, red pandas or hippopotamuses.
They also won t have to socially distance themselves on the zoo s train or carousel, and entire families will be able to enter the Children s Zoo concession stand. We re starting to get back to something close to normal, Erie Zoo CEO Scott Mitchell said. We already have seen pretty good attendance, especially because the weather has been cooperative. People really want to get out.
The zoo, 423 W. 38th St., is changing its policies because nearly all of Pennsylvania s COVID-19 mitigation regulations will end Sunday. Businesses will be allowed to operate at 100% of their maximum capacity starting on Memorial Day and social distancing will be encouraged, not required.
