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.
Described as Pittsburgh’s most adventurous theater, City Theatre specializes in producing new plays and contemporary productions that appeal to a diverse audience. Witness the development of a new show at this professional not-for-profit theater and support local actors, artists and playwrights. City Theatre offers different shows in its three entertainment facilities during each season, so there are plenty of performances to choose from.
Escape the noise of the city and spend some time outdoors at Frick Park. Stretching from Point Breeze down to the Monongahela River, this woodland park offers extensive trails, a large bird population, tennis courts, baseball fields and the only public lawn bowling green in Pennsylvania. If you are visiting during the winter, bring your sled to take advantage of the steep hills.
