Although we took our 10 month old twin boys, they were too small for many of the exhibits and displays. But, we also had our adventurous 7 year old niece and she loved it. So much to explore and do, can't wait to take the boys back now that they are toddling. Parking can be a challenge when the place... More

Museum for children under 6 and certainly not ver 10. Really great for kids and not so uncomfortable for adults. We've been there twice. Price is not so expensive for all they can do and all the stuff they come home with. Attractions changes oftenly. More

A variety of activities on different floors keep the children occupied, engaged and excited. The facility is large with 3 floors. There is a placd to eat or you can bring in your own food. We spent 6 hours at the museum this last visit! Each floor offered new and different activities from our previous visit. I recommend a change... More

We went to the museum at my brother's recommendation, and there was so much to see and do, so much to touch and experiment with, so many floors of completely different kinds of experiences. Wow! Fun for 2-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 29-year-olds...the upper limit on age is probably about the same as the oldest person you know. It's got a nice helping... More

The children's museum in Pittsburgh is beautiful and it is full of activities that my kids loved and that they could play for hours. We had to go after 2.5 hours, so we tried to move somewhat quickly to new activities. However, we could have stayed much longer. Definitely worth a visit, your kids will love it! More
