UPDATE (9:30 PM)

The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is expected to reopen on Sunday.

Some adjustments will be made to operations because of leftover storm damage repairs.

The entry escalator will not be functional so guests will have to enter and exit on the “ZooFit Path.”

A small shuttle will run to transport people who may need help.

The rest of the zoo is expected to run as it usually would.

The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is closed Saturday because of a power outage.

In a post on Facebook, the zoo says the loss of power was caused by high winds overnight and impacts the front entrance.

The zoo will reopen when repairs are complete. Updates on the repairs will be provided on the zoo’s social media and website.
