The Aquarium at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium

The aquarium at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium was initially built in 1967 under the name AquaZoo. At the time, it was the first aquarium in Pennsylvania and the second largest in the country. In 2000, the aquarium underwent a renovation and is now a large, two-story structure that offers several aquatic habitats. This makes it a must-visit for those interested in marine life.
