Accessible Vacations

Laugh your socks off at the Improv Comedy Club in Pittsburgh. Enjoy a performance by an up and coming local star or see a nationally known performer showcasing new material at this popular comedy club and nightlife venue. There’s not a bad seat in the house, but be prepared to become part of the performance if you sit too close to the stage!

See the stars, or at least a place where they study the stars, at the University of Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Observatory. This national historic landmark has been a vital part of American astronomical research since 1859. Nowadays, the Allegheny Observatory is open to free public tours from April until the end of October.

Gardening is transformed into a contemporary art form in the Frank Curto Park’s Art Gardens of Pittsburgh. Wander among the unique, mile-long outdoor art gallery filled with instillation art created with the growing greenery. Although you may spot a few sculptures, the main medium in the Art Gardens is the plant life.
