The Erie Zoo invited visitors to come and visit for free on Saturday.

The second annual Zoo for All event offered free admission all day to the community in an effort to get people outside and exercising.

This event is intended to make the zoo accessible and affordable for those who may not get the chance to visit regularly.

The partnership event with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield also offered live performances, face painting and animal meet and greets.

Next month, the zoo will be holding its annual Lions, Tigers & Beers fundraising event.
