Admission to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium for 6 people to have a fun filled day. Expires June 30, 2020. Cannot be used for special events. The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium strives to foster positive, lifelong connections between animals and people. Whether through our exhibits, educational programs, or our many conservation projects, our goal is to make certain the Earth remains a suitable home for all life by our discovery of the interconnectedness of the natural world.

In 2015, the Zoo proudly unveiled The Islands, a 22,000-square-foot exhibit that offers an immersive island atmosphere with cascading waterfalls, ponds, and the unique sounds of endangered animals. Featuring animals native to island atmospheres around the world, including Philippine crocodiles, Galapagos tortoises, Visayan warty pigs, siamangs, and clouded leopards, the area also offers a beach with sand, beach umbrellas, and an oversized Adirondack chair. The Islands is the first neighborhood to open as the Zoo continues to develop the final six acres of land, with plans for more thematic neighborhoods to open in the coming years.

According to President & CEO Dr. Barbara Baker, the Zoo's growth can be traced to one thing: commitment. "Our staff is deeply committed to making sure our Zoo not only maintains the standards already set, but strives to improve the exhibits and the lives of our resident animals every day," says Baker. "This makes the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium a safe haven for the animals that live here, and provides visitors with a unique zoo experience."

The Zoo's remarkable growth in attendance, exhibitry, research, education, and conservation efforts are sending it roaring into the future.
