We did not view the whole Science Center – we just came for the Titanic Artifact exhibit. I was expecting something different.-- it just seemed dull!. There were artifacts there, for sure, but nothing too stunning. I would have liked just one jewel – not the Hope Diamond or anything, but one or two glitzy items. Lots of toothpaste holders,... more
Went there second time in 3 years with my 7, 9, and 11 year old. The museum is nice, 4 floors, but mostly is hands-on kids stuff. My wife was mildly bored. Highlights here are (spoiler warning) - USS Requin Submarine, real working sub (albeit OLD) WWII. - Model train set (like it took 80 years to build it) -... more
My family has been there many times and we have been really impressed each time we have been there. more
The Carnegie Science Center is a child's dream. Everything in the building is designed to let children have fun while also learning about science. The museum has a submarine, IMAX theater, planetarium, railroad village, an underwater rollercoaster simulator, and a food area. Every child there seemed to be having the time of their life.

We chose to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the Omni MaX theatre and would not reccommend that, it distorted the film and made it hard to watch. Lots of hands on activities for the kids. more
The Carnegie Science Center is one of the best experiences I have ever had in a museum type atmosphere, beginning with the excellent food and going all the way to the interactive exhibits designed for children and adults alike (including while i was there UPMC sportsworks, Candy Unwrapped, and Eye Didn't Know that) Additionally the staff were very helpful and... more
We had a lot of fun at this place. The SportsWorks center had rude staff who made us feel like we were interrupting them from doing things other than thier work. Other than that it was a must see. more
I visited the Carnegie Science museum and found the trip to be pretty fun. But I would not recomend this museum to adults because it was more hands on learning that is more suitable for children. So it would be a great place to take kids if you are entertaining children, more
