The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is a must for anyone with young children. It is a real treat to find a zoo and aquarium in the same location. My grandson got to see a baby elephant being given a bath, a rhino rolling around in the mud and a peacock walking right next to his stroller. He loved the... More

Call me spoiled, but I am from Miami, FL and the Miami Metro Zoo is outstanding. There are spacious areas for the animals, huge diversity of wildlife, and many opportunities for additional animal interactions (petting rhinos and feeding giraffes). That being said, the Pittsburgh Zoo left a lot to be desired. First off, it is very small compared to most... More

I am a big lover of zoos and animals. This zoo is fine. It is a little expensive given how much you see and it is a little bit out of the way as it is in north pittsburgh. But I had a good time.

We loved this Zoo! It was well worth the small admission fee! Took us several hours to get through and see everything. We went first thing in the morning and was able to see all the animals roaming around in their sections. This was a great time & we will be visiting again!

The polar bears are the best addition to the zoo. Still love going every year to see the changes. I could watch the penguins and fish all day.

Great informational shows/programs at assigned times a good way to get more info as you visit the zoo. animials are not as close up as other zoos I have been to but you can see them most of the time. Set up is in a circle so when you are done you have made the loop. I love the cold... More
