About Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium Military Discounts

The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium in Highland Park is one of only a handful of U.S. attractions combining a major zoo and aquarium, home to thousands of animals across 77 acres. The Pittsburgh Zoo military discount takes $5 off general daytime admission for active duty, Reserve and veteran members of the U.S. military who show proper identification at the gate. The discount is a standing, year-round offer for the service member or veteran; it is redeemed in person, not online. On top of the everyday discount, the zoo grants free admission to qualified military personnel during the week from Armed Forces Day through Memorial Day, on Independence Day, and on Veterans Day. A military ID or DD-214 is required, and the complimentary admission covers the service member only, family members and special ticketed events are excluded.
