Mission
On June 14, 1898, the Pittsburgh Zoo opened to the public for the very first time, and in January of 1994, the once city-run Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium became a non-profit organization, owned and operated by the Zoological Society of Pittsburgh. Located five miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, the Zoo is a 77-acre facility that is home to thousands of animals representing hundreds of diverse species. Committed to education, research, and wildlife conservation, the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is actively involved in 23 Species Survival Plans and proudly exhibits 22 threatened or endangered species. The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is one of only six major zoo and aquarium combinations in the country.
