Admission is CASH ONLY! Bring exact change. Terrific funicular - just like in Switzerland or Germany. Really loved the views from the top. Only downside - you have to park at the bottom of the mountain, roughly at the same elevation as the river. To get to the Incline/funicular, you have to trudge up to the sidewalk, scale several steps and walk across over the road. If you don't like heights, that part was the most challenging! Don't look down. Nice exhibits about the history of the Incline at the top. Boys enjoyed this.

I’ll start by saying that a lot of complaints from other reviewers are accurate. The parking lot at the base is not great and there is a long walk and a lot of steps to get to the station. The exact change requirement is a pain and ticket sellers are abrupt and hard to understand. There is little direction in knowing what to do after you have your tickets. Given all of that, I highly recommend making this one of your Pittsburgh stops, especially if you can do it at night. The views of the city from the observation deck are amazing. We had an extra treat the night we visited. There was a multi-colored, multi-formational drone display moving along the river. Awesome.

This was fun to experience since it has been around so long. Very cheap ($2.50 one way, $5 round trip). Didn’t have time to walk around Mount Washington but it seemed like a beautiful place.

Hubs, wanted to visit the Incline and reminisce earlier travels. It's quite an antique and steep way to travel up to the top of Mt. Washington area of Pittsburgh. Great views from the top, runs smoothly, but it is an older piece of history and needs upkeep.

Went to Pittsburgh for a conference and stayed 2 extra days for sightseeing. Enjoyed Pittsburgh very much. Highly recommend the Heinz History Center and the museum at Fort Pitt. Stayed at the Wyndham Grand Downtown. It was a great location; easy walking distance to multiple eateries (The Yard is a must!) and a beautiful park on the Point. We also had the opportunity to attended the last baseball game at PNC park and cheer on the Pirates to victory! The park is beautiful with a breathtaking view of downtown.

Loved the historical ride on the Duquesne Incline. Views were spectacular. We walked from Point State Park across the bridge to ride up, take a few pictures and then back down. There's a little gift shop and small museum at the top. Would highly recommend. I've wanted to do this since seeing Flashdance in 1983!

Great view of the three rivers downtown from this attraction! the last time I rode it, I was a kid and not much has changed. It's a really terrific view and fun to ride. There are several restaurants that are walkable from the top. It's paid parking in a lot at the bottom and the ride is cash only. It's a pet-friendly attraction, which is always a bonus for us!

A lot of fun and great views! You can walk here from downtown. Costs 5 bucks for a round trip ride up and back down. Great antique cable cars and stations. A nice museum too if you like history and old stuff. Views from the top are absolutely awesome...I hated to go back down. No lines on a weekday morning. Very memorable experience.

this was a great stop. I bet it really is fun to go at night when the city is lit up. Our only issue was with the woman in the actual booth were you paid for your tickets. I'm assuming she does not like her job! The guy at the top was so helpful and you could actually understand what he was saying. Other than that, It was fun to ride and we did have some amazing views

First, I should mention we traveled the incline on game day in Pittsburgh so it was a little busy. The reason I didn't give the incline five stars is because I thought they could do some easy sweeping of absolutely everything. I understand it is run by volunteers; however, I have swept as a volunteer before. Everyone was polite but they do assume you know what you are doing so we were a little lost on getting back on board after visiting the top. Again, it was very busy, so we had to wait in line a short time to get back down. This is not handicap accessible so plan accordingly. (My husband helped a woman carry her stroller (with baby) up the many steep steps.) There are no bathrooms so plan accordingly. I was expecting cute shops at the top to spend time at but there is only a sports bar that was very busy. (Game day) Parking is on gravel a short distance from the stairway to the incline. The payment system is a little hard to use but manageable. Make sure you use the sidewalk as the cars rush by from the parking area to the incline. Hang on to children. Small gift shop at the top. The view at the top is amazing so take your camera!
