Visit the site of the historic Fort Pitt Museum in downtown Pittsburgh. Strategically built at the forks of the Ohio River in 1759 and added onto in 1764, the current two-story museum first opened to the public in 1969. Learn about the role the Steel City played in shaping the United States through interactive exhibitions and attractions, and recently added artifacts.

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.

Paddle out onto the water at one of Kayak Pittsburgh’s three convenient locations: downtown, Lake Elizabeth and North Park. Admire the architecture or try to spot urban wildlife Downtown; bring the whole family out to the shallow Lake Elizabeth, or test the water as the newly opened North Park. Beginners to water sports and recreation are welcome!
