FEATURED EVENTS

Alma Rivera and her family visit the natural history museum on the popular PBS KIDS series, Alma’s Way. To celebrate this on-screen experience, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Fred Rogers Productions, and WQED invite you to a special screening of these stories so that your family can experience all the museum has to offer through the episode and in person!

Sensory Sensitive Science Hours are held on select Sunday mornings. Exhibit lights and sound effects are adjusted and special hands-on activities are added to foster a safe, welcoming, and most of all, fun, environment for all visitors. Whenever possible, low-sensory versions of shows and demonstrations are hosted by Buhl Planetarium, Demonstration Theaters, or other departments. Early entry is also offered on these days, to provide reduced wait times and a calmer entry experience. A Quiet Space is available during Sensory Sensitive events for visitors who need to take a break.

Travel back in time and encounter the amazing animals of the past as the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium presents Ice Age: Frozen in Time. Recreated scenes transport guests back millions of years to a glacial world populated by towering mammoths, mighty mastodons, ferocious saber-tooth cats, massive ground sloths, and many more. This amazing experience whisks guests on a time-trotting journey to the distant past to witness the dramatic changes our planet has undergone. Meet many of the ancestors of our Zoo residents and gain a deeper understanding of the Earth’s rich history and how wildlife evolved over time. Join us as a flurry of fun comes to the Zoo this spring! Brrrr-ing it on!
