Go wild as you immerse yourself in the environments of more than 4,000 animals, including threatened and endangered species, at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. Open every day of the year except Christmas Day, the zoo has something for everyone. Play the day away in Kids Kingdom, spend some time with the fishes in the new aquarium or explore exotic animals and plants from around the world.

Kids Kingdom:Where kids can act like animals! This interactive facility is complete with playground equipment that replicates animal motions and behaviors so kids can play like the animals play. Children actually learn something while they romp through Kids Kingdom's penguin slides and naked mole-rat tunnel! It's also chock full of hands-on animal experiences, like the walk-through Deer Yard, where kids can actually touch a white-tailed deer. Kids Kingdom also features a walk-through Kangaroo Yard where Australian gray kangaroos get so close, kids can reach out and touch them! There's also a friendly Goat Yard, beaver and otter exhibits and a fabulous sea lion pool featuring several of these playful marine mammals. Children and grown-ups alike can be seen thronging in front the underwater viewing window just to get a glimpse of the sea lions' underwater antics.
