“Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is a 22,000-square-foot exhibit that offers an authentic island experience of cascading waterfalls, lakes, and elephants. The Zoo is a 77-hectare lush tropical land with over 8,000 animals spanning 600 species. The Zoo strives to foster positive lifelong connections between animals and people. In 1991, the Zoo opened the Tropical Forest, which houses more than 150 tropical plants, and a five-acre indoor rainforest housing 16 primate species. The Zoo developed the Education Complex due to the popularity of educational programming, reaching over 400,000 visitors in peak years. Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium members can pre-order discounted tickets that are valid for one year from the purchase date. Take a journey to the islands and look at warty pigs and Philippine crocodiles. You can enjoy a family experience that promotes awareness, reverence, and enjoyment of wildlife.”
