Calling all adventurers! Summer's about to get a lot more exciting around here. So, throw all caution to the wind and plan a trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. Sure, you'll get to see all of your favorite animals - from polar bears and anteaters to otters and giraffes. But, this unique attraction at the Pittsburgh Zoo just might be the star of the summer.
A trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo during the summer months is a tradition for many yinzers. In fact, it's the perfect spot to watch the animals, to have a bite to eat, and to watch the kids play.

Soar high above the zoo on the zipline, the zoo's newest attraction. But, be forewarned, the zipline will only be open from May 26 through Labor Day 2018.
So, grab your tickets to this unforgettable adventure that will give you a bird's eye view of some of the zoo's most popular residents, including the pygmy hippo and the giant anteaters.
Tickets for the zipline cost $14 for zoo members and $15 for non-members. The fee is in addition to the zoo's entrance fee.
Bring all your favorite people - ages six and older - for the adventure of the summer. The zipline will be open daily, weather-permitting, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is located at 7370 Baker St., Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
