Enrichment Extravaganza at the Erie Zoo
Come to the Erie Zoo and get the opportunity to make enrichment for your favorite animals that call the Zoo home!
What is Enrichment?
Enrichment is a vital part of every day animal care at your Erie Zoo! Animal enrichment is interactive programming that seeks to encourage a specific species' natural behaviors that they would display in the wild. This programming stimulates the animals mentally and physically through interactive objects, scents, foods, activities, puzzles, etc. Our enrichment program encompasses ALL of the animals at the zoo and varies day to day! We are constantly changing enrichment and providing our residents with the best current programming out there but we need your help! Your contribution will help make sure they feel engaged and challenged every single day.
At this event you will be able to get hands on and make enrichment at different stations for some of your favorite animals that call the zoo home! We will also have demonstrations throughout the day where we give animals different enrichment, keeper talks, and lots of examples of the different kinds of items the animals get on a daily basis! You may even learn how to make some things you can use at home with your own pets!
It's a fun, simple way to help you Erie Zoo stock up on useful items that the animals love! The event runs 10am-2pm.
Event is included with admission or Erie Zoo membership. Event is rain or shine. Most enrichment making booths will be indoors.
