About this adventure

The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is described as one of the few integrated parks in the U.S. combining a terrestrial zoo with a large, two-story aquarium. Early winter temperatures are said to be suitable, and animals such as Siberian tigers, snow leopards, polar bears, and red pandas are reportedly in an active period. After exploring the outdoor forest trails, families may enter the warm PPG Aquarium to watch sand tiger sharks swim in a two-story giant tank and touch docile small stingrays in the touch pool. The zoo has designed the Kids Kingdom interactive area for families with young children. The entire park is said to have asphalt pathways, gentle ramps, and automatic lifts for accessibility, which may make stroller use unimpeded. Major core areas, such as Village Plaza and the aquarium restrooms, are reportedly equipped with hygienic changing stations and family nursing rooms with outlets. The park offers a very large free parking lot, with no additional parking fees required for visits.
