I'm originally from SW PA but moved some years ago. I went home for a visit and took my 10 year old and his friend. We all loved it! There is a wide variety of animals (wild animals and farm animals!) and it was so much fun to feed them! We bought 3 bowls of carrots and 3 bowls of seeds and that carried us through for several hours. Staff was great and neighbor kids were there helping. We will definitely go back!

My husband, kids and I absolutely love this place! If you have never been here, then you are missing out. Plenty of different animals to feed and touch. The owners are amazing people! So friendly and so knowledgeable! We will continue to visit and watch the little ones grow up and be excited for any and all new arrivals.

I was skeptical when my friend wanted to have her birthday party at a petting zoo, but it was actually really fun. We even got to feed the big cats at the end of the day. I would definitely go back here. The people who run the place are very cool as well. This would be a great place to do an event like a birthday party.

This is such a spectacular community of creatures that are so well cared for! The owners and volunteers demonstrate their love and skill at providing an optimal home (other than being at their home in the wild). The variety of animals is impressive!

Great place to visit and pet the animals. The animals are very well taken care of and it shows how much the care givers love them them! ❤️ We'll be back again later this summer!

Had a really nice time here, definitely worth a visit, petting zoo/farm environment so wear appropriate shoes and definitely buy extra carrots and feed when u pay for admission - this was a reasonably priced outing for the family even the 15yr old enjoyed it- ostriches, tigers, wolves, pigs, camels, lemurs, to name a few - well maintained animal enclosures and great staff super friendly and happy to answer questions.

We didn't want to spend alot of money at Pitt Zoo 😫but needed somewhere to take the kids, thankfully they were open!🙌😃 Cool animals you can feed (praying the carnivore section will open soon) and a great experience. At first my city babies were afraid of the goats n chickens that roamed but by the end, they didn't want to leave. Worth the 40 min drive!We'll be back again!

Was a great place to take the kids. You get to feed the animals. The price was reasonable. Also had a great little gift show. Fun for a day outing with the family.

Seemed to be a little run down, pens in the carnivore area were overgrown and didn’t seem well maintained. The animals we did feed seemed extremely eager to get food (almost food aggressive) so we hope they are getting enough food daily - you could see the individual ribs on the camels. It was a pretty humid / hot day during our visit and didn’t see any staff around checking on food or water levels - only staff we saw were at the front desk. Definitely looks a lot better on their webpage, unfortunately. The kids enjoyed themselves however - a good variety of animals that you could get very close to.

Animals are very well taken care of! It'll cost a bit extra to feed the animals but it's definitely worth it. A good variety of animals and informational signs about most of them. The Emus and Ostrich will steal your food if you put your bowl out, be warned!If you like animals, I would totally recommend!!!

This place is so cute! The owner and the workers were extremely friendly and down to earth. It was fun to feed and interact with all the animals there. The buffalo was so sweet and so were the lemurs! The owner was so generous that he let me feed the baby camels their milk! Go here if you want a personal, low key interaction with wild animals. :)

Went there this past weekend and thought this place was a fantastic hidden gem. I would recommend a visit here for sure. The animals were all pretty active and happy looking. Properly priced and recommend buying extra feed of your choice. Everyone with us had a great time and would come back again for sure.Only thing I would recommend is to have a proper rest room/sanitary station in the front/exit with the temp hand cleaning stations moved to other corners for maximum coverage with touching numerous animals/items.

I absolutely love this place. We visit a few times a summer. Its so fun and such a beautiful place to spend the day with the family. We got our newest family member from here this past summer. Our kitten Luna. She is the best. Very loving & friendly. Her and my son (age 2) are constantly playing together. She sleeps next to him and they chase each other daily. The animals here have so much room to run and be free. The gift shop is affordable. I like that we can bring our own food in to eat there. Plus its only 10 mins from my house. Even if it wasn't close, I'd drive to visit. The employees are so friendly. The animals are cute and seem happy, not miserable like some zoo animals. This will always be my favorite family fun day spot.

For the price, it is definitely worth a drive out. I nice variety of animals that you're up close to. The staff were all very friendly, and it was clear from walking around that the animals are all well taken care of. I will say though, the amount of parking was limited, but there was a large birthday party going on at the time, so I'd say that's an extreme circumstance.

Pros:This was a very nice place for kids. A great experience for the family.The animals were up close and hands on.Con's: I had to give it a four star because its not suitable for handicap or disabled people.The terrain is difficult for wheelchairs and those who walk with the aid of canes or walkers.

Absolutely amazing people doing amazing work in animal rescue/welfare and education. We held a birthday party here and they accommodated 48 people and had things for both adults and children. I can't thank them enough for being such amazing people and treating our friends and family with respect. Not a single person left there unhappy (except for the children we could hear crying because they didn't want to leave!) Excellent place!!!

horrific place for any animal to be. tragic how these places exist under the radar. thanks to good samaritans for making “The Conservation Game” documentaryAlso, this is not a ZOO or accredited as a zoo, but someone’s backyard with no regulations or welfare enforced for the animals. endangered species!
