I haven't been to the Pittsburgh Zoo in a very long time (spent several years at the San Diego Zoo) so it was interesting to see what was different. Basically everything. I don't remember anything. Last time it was a lot of metal cages, but now modern enclosures. The bears seem to be the same enclosures, but that's about it.
I got some good pictures. There are advantages to smaller zoos because you can get in closer. I got nice shots of a very good looking snow leapard. I hope to see the tigers and lions awake some time too.
Here's the snow leopard. He was resting near the glass.
In August, they will have the polar bear enclosure done and the two new polars will be on display. I enjoy polars and still have to post polar-pix from San Diego Zoo and Sea World!!!
They have annual membership for $45, not bad after coming from San Diego where a single adult admission to the zoo costs $32. Also the annual membership at Pittsburgh Zoo gets you free admissions to other zoos as well. It would give me a reason to go somewhere. And not spend a lot of money! :)

I haven't been to the local zoo (being in DC, probably has a name like "National Zoo") in a long time. I do not think I've been to a zoo during my adult years. I'll need to revisit the zoo and see what's going on, what has changed.
In Pittsburgh, we have the "National Aviary" (that's a zoo for birds). I haven't been.
