This was a great place to take my almost 2 yr old. Third floor water exhibit a must see! Thank goodness he already had on water friendly shoes. My son could have spent all day here.

I use to live in Pittsburgh and lived in an apartment building. I would visit this Children's Museum with my daughter's and saw great enjoyment from them. People are very friendly and wonderful staff!

Fun day with the kids. It's not too big, so they don't get too tired before they're finished. There's not a lot for kids over 10 or so.

Living in Pittsburgh, I experienced the full development of the museum. I took my children there when it first opened and now my grandchildren. I watched every penny I spent go to excellent use from developing a part of an old post office building and a small food booth to the full building, three floors, and an excellent cafeteria.. The...

We took my kids to the Children's Museum and they had a wonderful time. I was able to get a discount card from a friend. Not sure if I would return; the price is exorbitant.

Loved that art served as the basis of many exhibits here. Lots of interaction and exploration with room for creativity and self-discovery.

We were in Pittsburgh in late April visiting relatives and went to this museum with our almost 4 year old twin boys and they had such a great time I wish we had been able to stay for a whole day. This was probably one of the best children's museums that we've been to. Most of the museum was geared... More

We have been to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh many times with our latest visit just yesterday. We love this museum. Both my 5 year old and 1 year old have lots of opportunity to play collaboratively and independently. The nursery section has lots of fabulous activities like a bird seed pit for digging in and a giant lightbright! My... More
