Last-minute Erie family plan for tonight? This is it. ✨

ad | It is GORGEOUS out, and Glow Wild at the Erie Zoo is open tonight until 10:30 p.m. — plenty of time to grab the kids, wander through the lanterns, and make a summer night out of it.

We went as a family last weekend, and it really is such a cool way to see the zoo in a totally different light.

Details + tickets through the Erie Zoo.

FYI! Seeing lots of reports of damage and storm issues at locations down by the lakeshore so good idea to check today before heading out today to events or attractions.💛

TREC After Hours Event (Bird themed)

Unfortunately, tonight’s TREC After Hours event has been canceled due to widespread power outages, downed trees, & other local damages sustained from last night’s storm. We’re hoping to be able to reschedule our ‘What is Bird Banding?’ night for sometime late August, so stay tuned. 🤞🏻

✨ Erie Zoo after dark? YES PLEASE. ✨

ad | We went to Glow Wild last weekend and it was such a fun family night — gorgeous lanterns, tons of photo ops, and a totally different way to experience the zoo. 🐯🌙

Glow Wild continues Thursdays–Sundays through July 5 at the Erie Zoo (except June 27!)

Tickets are $17–$22, depending on age/member status, and infants are free.

If you’ve been thinking about going, this is your sign. It’s one of those Erie summer things that feels extra special. ✨

Orthodontist visits kids actually WANT to go to? Yep.
ad | gets it.

Between the contests, music, complimentary beverage station, and their free Route 747 Kids Club for younger kids, they make the whole experience feel fun instead of stressful. Such a win for parents.

➡️ Schedule a FREE orthodontic consultation in Erie at Murray & Iszkula Orthodontics — even kids as young as 6 can start with a simple check-in (and then stay and play after 😂): https://eriebraces.com/
