Edgy, ethnically diverse and formerly big on industry, the expansive Pittsburgh metro area is today a mix of its steel-making roots and a growing pool of young professionals who contribute to this destination's high livability score.
Escape the daily nine to five crunch at Monkey Junction, the African Plains or poking along the Tortoise Trail courtesy of the Philadelphia Zoo, an animal park that calls to the wild in us all. Try to spot the slinking Snow leopard in Carnivore Kingdom, watch lumbering elephants in the Pachyderm House, and see bears - from Polar bears to Asiatic black bears- in Bear Country as you explore this wonderful zoological park. Young visitors can enjoy hands-on fun in the Children's Zoo, part domestic petting zoo, part farm-yard playground, and get up to speed on animal life with one of the regular educational programs on offer through this facility.
