About Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium

The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium offers three reception venues that will amaze and entertain your friends and family. Lose yourself in the Aquarium, which features hundreds of animal species ranging from the tiny cuttlefish, to the six-foot-long South American arapaima. At Water’s Edge, be thrilled by underwater views of our polar bears, sea otters, and sand-tiger sharks. A subterranean event space gives your guests an intimate and unique reception atmosphere. Dazzle your guests with a kaleidoscope of color with the exotic flowers and plants that surround our huge Garden Tent.
