There are all sorts of things for kids to do in Pittsburgh, but what better place to start than the Pittsburgh Children's Museum? Here you'll find plenty of hands-on activities to interest most young families, from Mr. Rogers neighborhood to an art studio, outdoor playground, mechanical laboratory, and extensive water play area. One thing that keeps this destination interesting is the rotating exhibit room, featuring new displays at least a couple of times per year. For the youngest visitors, there's a friendly nursery area with lots of opportunities for tactile play and soft stuff to bounce off of.

Details:

The museum is located in the Northside and open from 1-5 Monday through Saturday, 12-5 on Sundays, and closed most holidays. The 54C bus goes right to the door, 500 and other lines will get you pretty close. $11 for adults and $10 for kids 2-18, with discounts for EBT card holders and memberships starting at $90. There's a cafe with typical cafe food and a few slightly healthy options, most items range from $1 to $5. Expect to get wet if you visit the water room.
