Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium
Zoo · Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Seventy-seven acres on a hillside in Highland Park, open since 1898, and one of a small number of American institutions that runs a full zoo and a two-storey aquarium on one site and one ticket. Water's Edge puts polar bears and sea otters behind glass you stand under; the African Savanna and the Islands sections carry the large mammals; and the aquarium building holds sharks, a stingray touch pool and an Amazon section. It is built into a slope, which is the thing visitors notice most after the animals.
