What travelers are saying
- BrandonPittsburgh, PA475 contributionsThe view alone makes this Park a sight to see. Fixated on the river, there are plenty of places near by to grab a bite or a beer before the game. Inside the stadium, you will find great food options that fit into the Pittsburgh culture. A must see Park.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- jeff k47 contributionsThis was an excellent experience and trip. it is easily walkable from downtown. The cost is a couple of buck up and down(yes they sell one way). Nice historical building and car. there are great views of the two rivers it was a little hard to see the third river but the top of the ride and just down the street there is food and drinkWritten April 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ron BOakmont, PA5 contributionsSo much history with many photos and items to look at. Off season allowed plenty of time without being rushed. Docents were very helpful.Written April 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CFRSun City, AZ17 contributionsTook the Dusquene incline up to enjoy the fabulous views from here. Once on top, we were not disappointed. And, as everyone else comments, the views are stunning!
We strolled the neighborhood briefly and hopped into a restaurant across fross the incline to enjoy a meal. Lazy late afternoon, the area was quaint and very nice.
Later we experienced driving the narrow and hilly streets of the area, and can't imagine how the locals manage. Tough job on that one!Written October 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They even have exhibits of sea dinosaurs. And the Hall of Minerals is exquisite, like a giant jewel box. If you are in Pgh, don't miss the opportunity to explore this museum.Written April 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pam.A.Toronto, Canada20 contributionsYou don't have to love bikes to find this place incredible. One could easily spend two hours in this museum. There are two floors and several rooms filled with bicycles of all shapes and sizes, old and new, big and small. I particularly liked the bike that the Monkees rode, as well as the two bikes that were wrapped around a tree after a tornado (see photos). They depend on donations and the money they get from fixing bikes. Pay what you can. (That made me give even more of a donation that I would normally give if there was an entrance fee.) The place is so much fun.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Trey_walkerRaleigh, NC7 contributionsWOW! This is one of the most in-depth museums I've been to. An incredible tribute to the city's history as an industry and cultural capital. Prepare to keep yourself moving through the museum, as you can get fatigue quickly with information overload. I am personally a sports fan, so I spent the most time on that floor but there is just so much here. Friendly staff and well priced. I would dedicate half a day here.Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HgtravlMarlton, NJ1,714 contributionsLined with historical warehouses, the now hip Strip District has a lively mix of iconic Pittsburgh based food shops, all the gifts from Pittsburgh you can dream of, hipster bars and so many spots to eat. Really unique spot in the city that shows its charm & character. It’s not a trip to Pittsburgh without seeing the strip! They have plenty of parking (that’s cheap!) so it’s easy to park & walk around. Really fun vibe in the Strip. We enjoyed our stroll around this vibrant area, taking it all in. Lots of great coffee shops, photo opps & just good vibes all around!Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trey_walkerRaleigh, NC7 contributionsAwesome time at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. First, the Aviary is next to a beautiful park that had people walking and playing around -- beautiful neighborhood. We went toward the end of our trip so had to leave after about an hour but easily could have spent much more time there. The facility is designed to be very digestible, so you do not have to walk a ton but still get the quality and depth that the entire ecosystem has to offer. We were able to view a feeding and talk with a trainer on island canaries that was awesome.
The only thing I would recommend is that the biggest room with Tropical Rainforest wildlife only has one screen that has labels of the wildlife, so I would try to do some research beforehand or have a guide on your phone so you can see what you are viewing. Would recommend for people of all ages!Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They had an electrical issue and an elevator was out of order so you had to walk uphill a well made path to the top of the hill whee the zoo started. Zoo was clean and well laid out, several gift stores, a couple of places for snacks or food. A few of the animals weren't available to be seen yet, likely to the weather still a little cool out. Had a good time, and I would definitely go back again.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Len GSouthborough, MA174 contributionsSeven floors of art and history of Andy Warhol. Depicting his life’s work featuring some of his iconic paintings.
