STEP INTO THE ICE AGE AT THE PITTSBURGH ZOO & AQUARIUM!
The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is transporting guests back in time with its newest temporary exhibit,“ Ice Age: Frozen in Time,” through Sept. 1.
The immersive experience brings the frozen world of the Pleistocene epoch to life with more than 50 life-like, animated creatures, including mammoths, sabertooth cats, woolly rhinos and dodo birds. Realistic sights, sounds and movements help recreate what life was like millions of years ago— right down to snorts, grunts and mammoth-size rumbles.
