Pittsburgh - Sightseeing
Pittsburgh is a family town-in more ways than one. With so much to see, and even more to do, Pittsburgh is a great place to revisit your childhood and create your special getaway. In this town, one word is synonymous with fun- Kennywood. This traditional amusement park is a summertime destination for thrill seekers with five roller coasters, including classic wooden structures, an indoor coaster and a steel monster.
Party animals love the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, where you can get nose-to-nose with a tiger and see polar bears and sea otters in the new Water's Edge exhibit. A colorful array of more than 800 exotic and endangered birds take flight at the National Aviary, the nation's premier bird park. For a bird's-eye (and romantic) view of the magnificent rivers and skyline, ride the historical Duquesne or Monongahela Incline to the top of Mt. Washington. And when it comes to the rivers, you can't get any closer than the Gateway Clipper Fleet riverboats that regularly cruise the mighty waters.
The Carnegie Science Center boasts one of the world's most sophisticated interactive planetariums, a four-story domed OMNIMAX ® Theater and a World War II submarine. Science meets sports at SportsWorks in real and virtual adventures. Sports meets history at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum where the story of the region's long, rich sports heritage is on exhibition. Did we mention that Pittsburgh is a serious sports town? From the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates, to a wealth of college sports, you can take in all of the action.
