Is BAMZ Worth Visiting?

[PittsburghNative]

Per their website, I see the zoo is closed but the aquarium is open. Is this place worth visiting or should I skip it?

Skip it.

well...I would say definitely go, but if the zoo is closed, that's the best part...the aquarium part is pretty small, the museum is also small, but interesting...the zoo is the big attraction...I wonder why it's closed? covid?? too bad.....

The website says the zoo is closed due to the COVID spike. I was looking forward to visiting this place, but not if I can only see the aquarium.

The zoo is small. If it were open and you are traveling with kids they would enjoy it.

I have been.  If both the zoo and aquarium are open, then definitely worth it - especially if you have kids.  We used the local bus.  Did the zoo/aquarium in the morning and the caves in the afternoon, with stop at the Swizzle Inn, across the street and a short walk up the hill from the entrance to the caves.

I was planning on going in 2020 and regret skipping it in 2018 😞 I hope it reopens.
