- Coolmasterz tAldie, VA40 contributionsAmazing experience, the train took us up and we saw a great view of the Steelers Stadium and the whole city. This is way better than the one in Canada.Written December 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- VanillaAceSaint Simons Island, GA1,096 contributionsThis self guided tour of the botanical gardens and Christmas light displays are beautiful. A must visit during the holiday season. Some displays are inside and some are outdoors. Would recommend for families and all who enjoy light displays.Written December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jake R4 contributionsAndy and Eric were our guides for the day and they absolutely made it a 10/10 tour! Such great knowledge and they kept us laughing and engaged throughout the entire tour. Came in from Dallas to see the park and they made it a truly amazing time! Will absolutely be back in the future and hope to see Andy and Eric again!Written November 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Khadijah13 contributionsGreat way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We started with mini golf at Puttshack then did some bar hopping. There's a lot of choices for bars, good food and shopping. Most of the street vendors sell the same thing. Grandpa Joe's candy shop is cute. We didn't have to worry about parking as we stayed at the Hampton Inn down the street.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lks38Irwin, PA17 contributionsIt was an excellent tour and our guide was Ethan. Best part was the team locker room. Go Steelers. Great opportunity for fans and out of towners and a great value!Written January 20, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JeffBreedloveAtlanta, GA4,688 contributionsThis was my second visit up in the Mount Washington community and it is a wonderful street and then series of streets to explore so much history so much beautiful architecture and good food
It’s a safe area day and night, especially if you’re in groups and pay attention to your surroundings. Some of the best pictures you will get at night from the overlook looking down below.Written December 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We spent hours looking at dinosaurs and such, and also the gem and precious stone exhibit which is out of the world! They have a cafe with good teas and baked goods. There are lockers if you want to stow away your valuables. And there are plenty of bathrooms throughout. Easy to get over-saturated.Written November 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rocco C1 contributionWonderful experience with many memories shared with the owner. Great examples of all types of bikes, with an emphasis on historical and design elements. Picked up a vintage Sturmey Archer shifter, and waded through tons of vintage parts. A lady rode in with a flat and it was fixed on the spot. A treasure for Pittsburgh in every respect, especially with a compassionate and human touch. Don't miss it.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kwnike13Grand Island, NY463 contributionsThis place is amazing and so much better than we anticipated. There is so much to do and see here that you can easily spend a few whole days here. My wife and I brought our two little children and we spent over 4 hours here and with them that is a very long time! The place has something for everyone including sports, history and of course ketchup! My children especially enjoyed going down the slide on the first floor.Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pitt-DuqPittsburgh, PA943 contributionsWe were not at the Aviary for the normal reasons... We had our daughters wedding reception there. It was a great place to hold our special event. The space we used was the perfect setting and the staff was exceptional. I highly recommend this venue for that special event you have planned.Written December 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ermagertzWexford, PA276 contributionsI love the zoo especially the penguin walk they do in winter, they allow about 10 or so penguins outside of the exhibit to walk down the sidewalk to visit with the public, within fences and no contact of course, but it's wonderful enrichment for them to get out for the sights and smells of the visitors, and a great opportunity for visitors to see them, get some awesome photos and video of the penguins doing something different, hear them and see their personalities a little bit. We get a chance to ask some questions, I've done it many times over the years and have learned a lot about some of the individuals. Penguins are fun!Written December 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BackPacker4019841 contributionBeen here a number of times. Such a fabulous place; truly a Pittsburgh gem. A free Pittsburgh gem!
