Catch a show at the Rex Theater. What kind of show? That depends on what kind of entertainment you are in the mood for. See everything from a typical concert to an outrageous cabaret and peepshow. Live music options include local, regional and a few national bands playing anything from smooth jazz to rock ‘n roll—and the fully stocked bar keeps the nightlife going as well.

Get wild at Idlewild Park and Soak Zone, one of the oldest amusement parks in the country. Take a ride on a "Classic Coaster," travel to the top of the Ferris wheel or test your nerves on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Once you have sampled the traditional amusement park rides, head over to the Soak Zone to cool down with some water recreation during the summer months.

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!

Stop by Pittsburgh’s "front porch," the Emerald View Park that loops around and through the Mt. Washington, Duquesne Heights and Allentown neighborhoods. This impressive urban byway preserves a unique combination of natural beauty and manmade architecture. See some of Pittsburgh’s most beautiful outdoor scenery including rivers, lush green hills, and rolling vistas set against the city’s skyline.
