Polar Bear Day

Join the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and Polar Bears International from 11 am – 3 pm to celebrate one of nature's most impressive hunters and all things cold!

• Learn ways to reduce your carbon footprint, play the polar plunge game, and touch skulls, claws, and fur.
• Plus, hang out with the zoo's polar bear mascot and check out a blubber glove to see how a layer of fat keeps the cold out!
• Kitchen Theater to experiment with ice cream at Science in a Scoop!
• Works Theater to learn about the states of matter and see the effects of super-cold liquid nitrogen at Freeze!

Be sure to visit these activities included with general admission.
