Pittsburgh Zoo Hosts 'Drive-Thru Zoofari' To Help Raise Funds Starting Sunday
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - While the Pittsburgh Zoo is closed because of coronavirus, it's hosting a "drive-thru zoofari" drive-thru to let people see the zoo from their car.
The Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium says guided "zoofari" tours on select days and times start Sunday.
The drive-thru tours are a way to raise funds for the zoo's Emergency Operation Fund.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the zoo had to temporarily furlough about one-third of its 140 full-time employees. Veterinarians and staff were to continue to care for the animals while executive staff worked without pay.
