This is a place that is fun for all ages, but especially those with younger children…read more The website claims they have more than 300 animals. I don't doubt that number, but it does make the park seem a little larger than it actually is. It is the type of place you can walk through quickly and be there for less than an hour or you can take you time, interact with a variety of animals and spend quite a bit of time. They have a lot of farm type animals (goats, horses, donkey, llama), a variety of different monkeys, camels, deer, fennec fox and even slots! The slots are inside an area on one side of the gift shop that also has the snakes and reptiles. And an axolotl. Admission gets you in to the park, but you can pay more for feed to have better interaction with the animals. They even have bottle feeding for the goats at certain times of the year! Overall, the park is well maintained. I do wish some of the animals had better/more space to run around. A fun place to spend some time if you like being close to animals.

This Zoo/Animal Park is a good place to entertain and educate kids. It's perhaps a little kitschy…read moreas it is a bit reminiscent of seventies vacation activities I experienced as a kid. But generally it is what it purports to be, and that's fine. There are a few "non-pettable" animals such as a tiger, camels, wolves, primates, brown bears, etc. In fact, one of our highlights was the sight of a baby camel still learning to walk. But about half the park is comprised of farm animals. Feeds can be purchased in the office and the portion given is plentiful. The carrots and dry feed were more than enough to last for our visit. This is a great chance for the kids to get outside for a while on a nice weather day. They can see, touch and feed quite a few animals including bovine, goats, llamas, sheep, rabbits and others. There is even a small play area for a change of pace. The admission prices are reasonable by today's standards ($18.50 adults, $16.50 seniors and $15.50 age 3 - 11, under 3 free). Im general, it's a nice day out for the kids.

When you enter you immediately start seeing animals... Roosters and chickens walking right up to you... We saw baby peacocks that had just hatched. There is a small covered area with tables where you could eat a packed lunch. The enclosures and the entire area are impeccably maintained. We saw lemurs, pigs, kangaroos, donkeys, Bobcats, Tigers, bears, reindeer, a zebra, llamas, a camel, deer, an ostrich, wolves, and several other animals that were new to me!! We all had a great time. It took us about an hour to walk through. You may want your stroller if you have little ones. Mine made it about halfway through before she was ready for her stroller. Oh... And pack your sunblock, snacks, and drinks!!

The Youghiogheny River Trail consists of 71 miles of crushed limestone rail trail from McKeesport,…read morePA to Confluence, PA. This trail is part of the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) which extends from Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland, MA for 150 miles then hooks up with the C & O Towpath for 185 miles to take you to Washington, D.C. (total of 335 miles). Mostly used by cyclists but it is also used by walkers and runners. Per the Regional Trail Council's website, the policy is that no motorized vehicles are allowed except for those who have mobility impairments as listed in this article of 2010 and is current as of 6/23/17 when posting this review: http://www.regionaltrailcorp.com/RTC_Mobility%20Device_Policy.pdf. As a disclaimer, I am only the messenger of the policy, not the author, and have re-posted in good-faith that it is current. It's a beautiful trail and very well maintained. On Sunday, June 4th, they had their annual Yough-n-Roll fundraiser to both promote the trail and drum up support for the many volunteers than maintain the trail. We saw evidence of much branch trimming going on. Boston, PA is one of the access points and one we use quite a bit for our starting point. They have plenty of parking there and it takes about 30 minutes from Monroeville to get there. Then, we like to ride to West Newton for 14 miles making for a 28 mile round trip ride. Once in West Newton, we love to eat at the Trailside (right along the trail). They have a great deck or you can dine inside when it's too hot. They have much to choose from and we usually go for one of their salads or sandwiches. Plus, they offer cold water to fill up your water bottle, a welcomed gesture for cyclists. There's also a bike shop below the restaurant that's quite handy. Can't say enough good things about the trail and all the amenities along the entire Youghiogheny River Trail. Worried there won't be enough restrooms? Well, if you see a ball field, there's probably a porta-potty. See Dravo Cemetery? There's a restroom. See a town with restaurants and civilization? They have restrooms. Want to visit a state park and maybe hike or kayak? Well, there's Ohiopyle right on the trail. Want to get a GAP jersey? West Newton has a store which carries them. Want beautiful photo ops? Say no more. You'll have plenty chances to take pics of flowers, water, birds, deer, turtles, maybe a snake (don't be scared -- they don't want to eat you. Be nice and ride around anything that looks like a stick. Remember your feet are on your pedals above any snakes.). Need a bike store? There's one in West Newton and Confluence. Need lodging? Connelsville has a new hotel right along the trail plus there are B & B's in quite a few of the towns. We've stayed in lodging in Ohiopyle and Confluence and were not disappointed. This Wikipedia site will tell you where access points are and where to park: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youghiogheny_River_Trail This website will tell you about the Mon/Yough Trail Council that volunteers to maintain the trail from McKeesport to the Westmoreland County line and how you can join or donate: http://thebostontrail.com/ This website will tell you about the Westmoreland Yough Trail Chapter volunteers to maintain the trail in Westmoreland County and how you can join or donate: https://www.bikewytc.org/ Oh, and here's the website that will tell you about all the chapters supporting this trail: http://www.regionaltrailcorp.com/chapters.html

My favorite thing about Pittsburgh in summer…read more The rivers keep this trail cool and breezy. It's long - you can go all the way to Ohiopyle (the trail is quite pretty out that way), or even, with some interruptions, Washington DC! It's all very green. The crushed limestone surface is very well-kept and good for mountain bikes and road bikes alike. There are stops for water, bathrooms, benches, a picturesque old cemetery. In case of rain, there are a number of covered picnic tables and baseball dugouts along the way that you can duck into. There are wildflowers and groundhogs and bunnies and little waterfalls. And snakes. And an ex-Tastee Freeze that now goes by the name Yough Twister. Hm. The only real drawback is that you have to drive to the trail with your bike from Pittsburgh. You can't even take a bus; the buses that run to McKeesport, where the trail officially begins (as of now) don't carry bikes. There are lots of entrances to the path, most marked with little signs. In the town of Boston, PA there is a big parking lot and some playing fields and rest rooms that make a good place to start. Remember speedy Pittsburghers, pass on the left and hail when passing! Oh, and like all the great bike paths I love, this one has been the site of some highway robbery . . . Because this is a rails-to-trails, there is almost no elevation change. If I had kids, I'd take them here. But I would encourage them NOT to stop in the middle of the path if they needed to adjust something on their bicycles. Much better any day than a trip to Lake Erie. It's also nice in the fall.
