If you're in Pittsburgh for a weekend or longer, this should be one of The Places To Visit. It's rarely crowded, it's inexpensive, and every room in the building is an awesome collection of plants. Flowers, cactus, palm trees, orchids, with the seasonal butterfly room off to the side, and a great display around Christmastime.
Comparing it to botanical gardens in larger cities, it's bigger than the one in Washington, DC if that matters to ya. Reading the reviews, it never even occurred to me that not all cities have one of these. Hunh.
