Children's Museum Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA

Learning can be fun at the Children's Museum Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA. There is nothing that kids like better than hands-on entertainment and the museum provides plenty of opportunities to do so. Whether you are a kid in an adult body or a true pint-size person, all ages will enjoy the many exhibits that are under one roof.

The Children's Museum in Pittsburgh is huge — three stories huge! That means a lot can be packed into the space and the museum makes the most of it. You can create something with your hands in the art center or tinker with a real engine in the garage workshop. Kids can test the waters and build boats to see if they will float. The attic area has a gravity room where the floor is tilted 25 degrees to mock your inner balance.

Part of the museum is a stage with actors performing small plays for the kids as well as giving them a chance to dress up on their own in costumes as well. Tactile overload may result when kids get to the mud in the backyard area. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood is a perennial favorite of children, even years after Mr. Roger's death.

There are countless things to do to keep the kids engaged for a few hours. Art studios, animation, movies, scientific experiments .... It's all good! The price is right for entrance into the Children's Museum Pittsburgh too, much better than other venues that cater to kids. Be sure to stop in at the museum gift shop for souvenirs of your time and the café are a great place to grab a quick bite to eat.
