New baby at Pittsburgh Zoo

New baby at Pittsburgh Zoo

A new baby elephant was born early this morning at the Pittsburgh Zoo. This is the second baby elephant that Pittsburgh Zoo has welcomed this year which is a rare occurrence. If you are looking for a fun family day the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium is definitely at the top of my pick list. There is fun for the whole family. Take a nice walk on the paved walking trails. Enjoy a snack at the snack bar. Visit up close and personal with the Kangaroos! No matter which animal is your favorite the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium is sure to make you smile.
