Traffic Alert

Heads up, neighbors! Due to free Father’s Day admission heavy traffic is expected near the Pittsburgh Zoo on Sunday, June 21. If you live nearby, you might want to avoid the main arteries leading to the Zoo parking lot between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to bypass the heaviest congestion.

🚗 Traffic & Parking Schedule

Due to the anticipated high volume of visitors, the Zoo will be operating on a modified entry schedule:

• 3:30 PM: Parking lots will close.

• 4:00 PM: Admission gates will close early to ensure those inside have enough time to enjoy the exhibits.

• 5:30 PM: Zoo grounds will close as per usual.

If you're planning to visit the Zoo for Mother's Day, expect a much busier day than usual.

🎟️ Admission & Tickets

• All fathers accompanying their children (of any age or generation!) receive complimentary admission.

• Advance Tickets: Guests are highly encouraged to purchase tickets online in advance to skip the long lines at the gate.

Happy Father’s Day to all our neighborhood dads!
