Pool City Washington

Advanced water sports enthusiasts and whitewater rafters can challenge themselves at the famous Youghiogheny River Gorge. Hailed as "the birthplace of whitewater rafting," these rapids can be found in Ohiopyle State Park, about two hours southeast of Pittsburgh. Warm up on the milder Class I and II whitewater like Ramcat, Flipper and Fast & Clean before attempting the churning Class III and IV rapids like Dimple Rock, Double Hydraulic and River's End.

See the city in one of Pittsburgh’s most elegant modes of transportation. Molly’s Trolleys are charmingly designed after the ones that filled the city in the 1920s. Rent a trolley for a customized group tour, a daylong excursion or special events, like weddings and reunions. Or, join a special public tour like the ‘Burgh Brewery Tour.

Visit one of the country’s most prestigious non-profit theaters, the Pittsburgh CLO. More than just a theater, this facility offers innovative educational programs along with their vibrant entertainment productions and bold new works. Discover some of the best new talent at the winner of the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award for Excellence in Musical Theater.

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.
