Head to the suburbs for a visit to Kennywood. One of the oldest and most beloved amusement parks in America, Kennywood has charmed and thrilled the young and the young-at-heart for over 110 years with fun rides and attractions. Take a ride on one of the historic roller coasters, let the children rule at Kiddieland, splash through the water rides, and much more!
Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.
Honor all the men and women who served their country at the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum. The only national museum dedicated to all branches of the military, from professional soldiers to citizens, Soldiers & Sailors offers a unique view of American history through interesting exhibits and attractions. See military artifacts and personal mementos from the Civil War to the present.
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!
