Tons of stuff to do for the young and old kids alike. We have been taking my son there for years. He loves it. It has active fun for kids plus creative fun activities

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

Our kidsand family have been here several times and love it. As they age they like other parts other the museum. It is a lot of fun to see the kids play and learn. Watch out during the end of the school year as many school go on field trips and it can be nasty with to many kids at... More

This is a great place to take your children or grandchildren to. There are interactive areas that keep the kids busy for hours. Not too expensive to get in either. Consider buying a pass if you can go often. It's definitely worth it.

I remember going there as a kid, it was so much better then. They need more ideas for kids to do, not a lot of things to do, I was disappointed!

My parents and I took my 17 month daughter to Children's Museum of Pittsburgh on Thursday March 28. We were interested in checking out the under 3 area on the second floor. I was surprised that the museum had no staff on this floor during the 90 minutes we were there. People with young children were letting the older children... More

We were thrilled to be able to use our reciprocal membership here. My 5 year old really enjoyed it, good variety of activities and interactive activities. We will come back again to enjoy the outdoor backyard and the waterworks which were both closed.
