Day 1
-

-
- 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....
-

Kennywood Park
West Mifflin, PA

-
- Italian
- Fine Dining
Lidia's Italy

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. ...

Day 3
-
- Art Museum
The Warhol

-
- Art Museum
- History Museum
- Science & Nature Museum
Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Lulu's Noodles
Pittsburgh, PA
