We stopped here on our way from Michigan to Philadelphia. My son had a blast! He is 2 years old and there was plenty for him to do. We could have spent way more than the 3 hours that we did there. He loved playing in the water play and nursery section the most. The art section was also fun.... more

Just returned from a trip to the Children's Museum and have to say that after going to Chicago's Children's Museum this did not measure up. We spent 6 hours in Chicago and the kids' were done in 2 hours here. Although, the did enjoy themselves for the 2 hours; I cannot imagine spending more time there. more

Having been to children's museums throughout the country, this one was a pleasant surprise - it has a LOT to do despite it's relatively small size. Mister Rogers' Neighborhood has an entire room here, plus an open area for creative play, a theater, a room of optical illusions and more. Great space to play and a manageable size overall. Was... more

Love this museum! It puts the NYC children's museum and countless others to shame! Very well done, comparatively inexpensive more

The Pittsburgh Children's Museum is hands-down the best children's museum we've visited. We live in Dallas but return to Pittsburgh annually and the museum is #2 on our list of adventures (Kennywood is #1). We've visited annually since 2001 and it has always been a blast for our children and a joy for us. For toddlers, a wonderful display from... more

Fantastic!

We were so impressed with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. The facility is huge and there is such a wide variety of activities. We enjoyed the optical illusion hall and the art area. Our favorite was the water room - raincoats and galoshes are provided to keep the kids dry. Our whole family enjoyed this museum. more

Visited the musuem with three children (ages 3, 7, and 9). Each child had a great time and they would probably have rated this a little higher than me. They especially loved the large art area with lots of hands-on projects that they were able to do. (We brought home 8 pages of art work!). The water area was also... more

One of the better children's museums I have visited. The admission price is very reasonable and there is much to see and do. There are several floors of exhibits and activities, so it means the kids will be entertained for hours. There is a section where they can do various artwork (painting, paper making etc.) and take their work home... more

This place was great! There was so much to do. It is literally the first place I've taken my 3 year olds where they were entertained an entire day 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. I had to beg them to leave one exhibit to go to the next. Every exhibit was a hit! more

Fun interesting place for our 5 and 8 year old. Even our 12 year old found some things interesting and fun. Mister Roger's Neighborhood, Garage, Waterworld were our kids favorite areas. We did have a very long fire alarm in which we had to leave the building for 1/2 hour in very hot tempertures. They handed free passes but we... more
