The Pittsburgh Zoo
Welcoming People and Animals of All Kinds
"I feel so inspired by the animals at the zoo, especially the giraffes—their long necks and purple tongues are just magnificent!"
Home to cheetahs who think like sea turtles who think like red pandas.
This is where the arid grassland meets the ocean deep meets lush forest. Explore the world through the eyes of a Masai giraffe, a Komodo dragon or a river otter. Come with unfettered excitement, leave knowing the wonders of the animal kingdom.
