Changes could be coming to one of Erie’s biggest family attractions pending a decision from city council.
Council members held a study session Tuesday night to discuss how to move forward with the Erie Zoo.

One council member said the city has had trouble financially supporting the zoo, and is considering transferring the ownership to a different organization.
One of those organizations is Erie Events, and council member Tyler Titus said that transfer would be a step in the right direction to protect a community asset.

“I think the community would get more options of animals, see more amenities, more modern updates, and that this becomes a stronger asset that can pull in more community members and a bigger drive of something fun to do with families,” said Titus.
Titus also said city council will discuss the transfer more before making a final decision.
