The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium’s keepers maintain an Amazon wish list of specific items that our animals will love. You can support our animal residents directly by purchasing any of these engaging items, which get sent directly to the Zoo.

Helping animals exercise their minds is essential to their well-being. It is just as important as proper nutrition and routine veterinary care. Creative outlets for physical and mental stimulation include different forms of play, food, objects, sounds, smells, and structures.

The Zoo offers its animals a variety of items that encourage natural behaviors, such as digging, foraging, or hunting.
