The Erie Zoo held one of its most beloved annual events on Saturday.

It was Equipment Day. Massive trucks, tractors and construction equipment were all on display.

Kids had the opportunity to get up close, snap photos and explore 15 different types of machinery.

Hali Hartley, the special events manager for the zoo, said both kids and adults love to enjoy this event.

"This event is sort of the kick-off of our summer,” said Hartley. "It’s the most popular event, everyone loves this event, they come every year, so we just make sure to try to make it better and bring more machines each year."

And visitors have just over a week to view their Chinese lantern festival, Glow Wild.
