What are the best family activities in Pittsburgh?

I have to take a business trip to Pittsburgh soon, and I’m thinking of taking my family along for the ride. Are there any fun things to do for kids?

Great choice! Not only is it historical, but
Pittsburgh
has tons of cool spots to visit with your kids. Here are the best family activities in Pittsburgh:
  • Carnegie Museum of Natural History: Make your trip fun and educational by digging for bones, touching real-life specimens, seeing dinosaur bones, watching paleontologists at work, and so much more.
  • Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium: The expansive 77-acre zoo and aquarium will get you up close and personal with some of the most exotic animals, including the elusive fossa, a pygmy hippo, and a polar bear.
  • National Aviary: If you didn’t get your fill of wildlife at the zoo, the National Aviary is home to more than 600 exotic and endangered birds from almost every continent.
  • Carnegie Science Center: As Pittsburgh’s most visited museum, the Science Center has four entire floors of interactive exhibits, from a planetarium and Roboworld® to a real-life submarine and model trains.
  • Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh: Get your thinking caps on with a wide variety of hands-on activities, including woodworking, sewing machines, circuits, laser cutting, and animation—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
You may be able to get around the city by foot or public transportation, but having a car will make for a more convenient trip. Whether you bring your own car or opt for
renting one
, you should make sure you have the proper
car insurance
before you head out. After all, you want to be prepared against any
Pittsburgh traffic
