Kid's Kingdom at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

One of the nation's top three children's zoos!

10 Years of Driving Kids Wild!
Let your kids run wild through Kid's Kingdom. Don’t miss the  Worlds of Discovery exhibits, featuring reptiles and amphibians. Be sure to see the playful antics of our adorable baby river otters!

Ever since Kids Kingdom opened its doors to the pint-sized public for the first time on May 27, 1995, parents are actually proud to say their kids act like animals.

That's because the interactive facility is complete with playground equipment that replicates animal motions and behaviors so kids can play like the animals play. Children actually learn something while they romp through Kids Kingdom's penguin slides and naked mole-rat tunnel!

It's also chock full of hands-on animal experiences, like the walk-through Deer Yard, where kids can actually touch a white-tailed deer. Kids Kingdom also features a walk-through Kangaroo Yard where Australian gray kangaroos get so close, kids can reach out and touch them! There's also a friendly Goat Yard, beaver and otter exhibits and a fabulous sea lion pool featuring several of these playful marine mammals. Children and grown-ups alike can be seen thronging in front the underwater viewing window just to get a glimpse of the sea lions' underwater antics.

Be sure to stop into Worlds of Discovery and venture into the meerkat exhibit through a see-through tunnel. A special bat flyway brings you as close as you'd want to be to 300 of these winged mammals - you'll hear their vocalizations and feel the breeze from their wings as they fly about on the other side of strung wire.

Just imagine the wild antics you and your family can get into at Kids Kingdom! Admission to Kids Kingdom is included in the regular Zoo admission price. So, for less than the price of most movies, you can treat your children to a wild time combined with the priceless beauty of the natural world. And it's all right here in Pittsburgh!
