This isn’t the Pittsburgh zoo. It a small park that takes about an hour to walk thru. You can feed several of the animals and it was fun for the kids.

Should have turned around immediately when entering a gift shop that smelled strongly of urine. Many of the animals are in small enclosures that have concrete floors. Not even close to a natural environment and can’t possibly be enough room for those poor animals. The bears and wolf caged up the way they were really pulled at the heart strings of those in our group. Seeing animals that we rarely get to see in person seemed like such a great idea at first, now I wish we hadn’t stopped in. Wish places like this didn’t exist. Couldn’t stomach eating ice cream after the zoo experience, no review for that.

The gift shop place didn’t smell like cat pee but it was filled with… TAXIDERMY. which I find disturbing next to the cashier with no teeth since this place is supposedly a «zoo». The animals grab at you through the fencing for corn, it seems as though they are never feed. The bears are lethargic and have what looks like stale fruit loops stuck in their fur. Most of the animals are sleeping and it’s practically deserted. Old phone booth from the 90’s is the closest you can get to reception. They were selling FILM for cameras! On the billboard it says «a touching experience «but if you try to pet any of the animals they get very aggressive and try to spit at you or bite you. There are animal’s feces EVERYWHERE and it’s disgusting! Definitely not worth 8 bucks a person. They also have wine tasting, god only knows what that’s like. Let’s get ASPCA on the line NOW! Anyone who’s reading this do it for these poor animals left out in the rain to lie in their on feces. This place sickens me to my core and I want something done about it!

If I could give less than a 1-​star review, I would. My cousin got rammed in the head by one of the Rams when trying to feed them some corn since they were SO anxious and looked like they were starving and emaciated, as a worker stood there and watched and responded with «you shouldn’t head butt the animals, hehe». The wolf paced back and forth, as did the monkeys who were soaked in urine and had raw skin. The bear had patches of skin missing and was in a cage about 10×10 if that. Not to mention the gift shop smelled so bad like cat piss that we started gagging. We had to wash our clothes afterward. Save your $ 8 and make a donation to PETA instead

Looks neat from outside. Four cats outside door should have been a clue. Holy smokes the gift shop smelled like cat piss! Thought we’d get ice cream for the kids, but couldn’t after going inside. BEWARE
