This is a true Pittsburgh landmark ..the view from the observation deck is worth the money to ride up..it costs 12 dollars for round trip ride for 2 people and the parking cost but it was really enjoyable for the history items that are on all the walls about the incline and history of pittsburgh disasters..some very old items you wouldn't see otherwise.
The downside is don't expect the staff to be friendly cause you can tell they are annoyed by everyone but other than that its great
