Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium

“We do not visit this place enough. It is one of the better museums in the country. Spend the afternoon here and then walk through Oakland and see the sites. ”

“Steel Curtain, the new Steelers themed roller coaster, has more inversions than any other in North America, and it's pretty awesome. Kennywood also has Phantom's Revenge, a coaster with a 230 ft drop.”

“Great museum dedicated to the Pittsburgh-born artist. The museum also has special exhibits, a live music series worth checking out, and a good gift shop.”

“The Carnegie Science Center has four floors of interactive exhibits and is wonderful for kids. Among its attractions are the Buhl Planetarium (which features the latest in digital projection technology), the Rangos Omnimax Theater (promoted as "the biggest screen in Pittsburgh"), SportsWorks, the Miniature Railroad & Village, the USS Requin (a World War II submarine) and Roboworld, touted as "the world's largest permanent robotics exhibition." The Roboworld exhibition contains more than 30 interactive displays featuring "all things robotic", and is also the first physical home for Carnegie Mellon University’s Robot Hall of Fame. It is closed on Sundays when there is a Steelers home game.”

“Art museum with a great collection of modern paintings and contemporary art exhibitions, gift shop and cafe. With the same ticket, you can visit the Museum of Natural History, which is in the same building.”
