This is my 4 year olds favorite activity in Pittsburgh. She begs to make the 1.5 hour drive to visit every couple of weeks. Her favorite activities are the programmable life-size robot, the aquarium, and the top floor is full of fun activities, including water tables, interactive ball activity, life-size operation game, vibration experiments, earthquake simulation, and video style games....

I was 18 or 19 at the time I visited, and I went with a friend of the same age. We had a spectacular time. Many reviews say it's good for families - this is definitely true, but I highly recommend you still go even if you don't have any children or a family. We were first a little put... More

We visited on a monday during the school year, so the only other people there were a few tourists and one school group. This was a very engaging museum with lots to do and something to interest any child - or adult for that matter. The submarine included was a great historical experience. Health sciences, sea life, robots, space, something... More

This is well set up and good for families. There are plenty of hands on displays. The space stuff is so interesting. They also had some kids up in harnesses to do tasks while slightly swinging. The kitchen demo had a sweet fruit flambé using fuel, air and heat. It was part of our tour. The film on time was... More

For school trips they give out assigned lunch times and this works out very well so there is always a... More

There were lots of "hands-on" things to do and to see at the museum. It was very family oriented. There was a cafe with various food items to eat, game room, pressed penny machines and lots of things for kids to do. We went the last weekend in April and parking was already at a premium.

We saw the bodies exhibit. It was very interesting. We haven't been back form any other events, The center is hard to get to in the location that it is in.

I had the chance to go along with my child's second grade class today for my first trip to the Carnegie Science Museum. My first effort in the past was met with failure as the museum was unexpectedly closed. Today it was open and I had the chance to visit quite a few of the museum's offerings with kids who... More

This was our second visit to the science center. They've added the Highmark Sportsworks since the last visit. That was great! We all tried fun things -- trampoline, yoyo lift, above head bicycle. Plus it was educational! It's in a separate building, so make sure to check it out! We loved the Spaceplace and saw a demo about making cheese... More
