Spent yesterday at the Pittsburgh Zoo with family from out-of-town. To get from the parking lot to the zoo you must take a very long and steep escalator (or elevator), to get to the plateau where the zoo is located. Once there the paths to the exhibits can be sloping as it winds the "not flat" terrain. This is fine as long as you know you will be getting a level of exercise with you zoo experience. The Pittsburgh Zoo has lots of animals in well-thought habitats. I really like zoo photography and especially loved photographing the cheetahs and Amur Leopards. The Aquarium is large and very well done. Great Zoo staff.
