Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for School-Age Kids
3 day trip
Day 1
-
- Craft & Hobby Store
The Cuckoo's Nest Magic Shop
Pittsburgh, PA
The philosophy here is that everyone who walks in the door deserves to see a magic trick. Kids are wowed by clerks who make coins magically jump from one cup to another, sticks break and then repair themselves, and pennies that transform into dimes....
-
- Gondola
Monongahela Incline
Pittsburgh, PA
Constructed in 1870, the "Mon" is the oldest funicular in the U.S. The three-minute journey takes riders to Mount Washington, where kids can enjoy a panoramic view of Pittsburgh and look down a steep drop....
-
- Boat Ride
Just Ducky Tour
Pittsburgh, PA
There's no better way to get a sense of Pittsburgh and its three rivers than with a Just Ducky Tour. Climb aboard a rejiggered World War II amphibious vehicle and enjoy a colorful and educational ride....
-
- Hotel / Motel
SpringHill Suites Pittsburgh North Shore
Pittsburgh, PA
Very close to PNC Park, this is the perfect hotel for the baseball fan, as well as anyone else wanting to explore Pittsburgh—it's also close to the Carnegie Science Center, the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and the Warhol Museum. ...
Day 2
-
- Amusement Park
Kennywood Park
West Mifflin, PA
Kennywood is a dream come true for roller-coaster fans, combining the classic feel of older coasters (one has been around since 1921) with thrilling new rides like the Phantom's Revenge (which features a 230-foot drop and speeds up to 85 miles per hour)....
-
- Special Collection
Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA
This top-notch museum appeals to kids of all ages with unique, interactive exhibits not found in many other children's museums....
-
- Italian
- Fine Dining
Lidia's Italy
Pittsburgh, PA
For a taste treat for adults that is still kid friendly, try Lidia's Italy (the Lidia behind "Lidia's Italy," the PBS cooking show). It doesn't have a children's menu, but the staff is eager to make any accommodations necessary for younger palates....

Day 3
-
- Science & Nature Museum
- Special Collection
Carnegie Science Center
Pittsburgh, PA
Got a curious kid? Don't skip this museum. Here kids launch rockets, check out creepy insects, and play musical instruments made of PVC, learning all the while. ...
-
- Art Museum
The Warhol
Pittsburgh, PA
The most popular exhibit here is the Silver Clouds, featuring metallic, pillow-shaped balloons that float around the room. Every kid interacts with the clouds differently—some lie on the floor and watch them hover above; most give them a nudge....
-
- Ice Cream / Yogurt
- Coffeehouse
- Diner
Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor
Pittsburgh, PA
Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor has been operating at the same location in the Strip District since 1923, and it still has that old-fashioned feel, with the original marble countertop, soda fountain, and treats like egg creams and cherry phosphates....
-
- Baseball
PNC Park
Pittsburgh, PA
What makes PNC Park the perfect baseball stadium for families? For starters, the well-designed stadium (one of the smallest in the majors) doesn't have a bad seat anywhere—you get a great view of the game and a great view of downtown....
