Before my latest Pittsburgh visit, I added Phipps to my to-do list last minute. I'm glad I remembered! We went on a perfect sunny warm day. I forgot how lovely this place is and the new wing is very interactive and fun.
This place is great for a daytime date, a fun afternoon with kids and family, or a special occasion. My friend had her bachelorette luncheon (she didn't want a party) here. Hanging out on Flagstaff hill or wandering over to the Carnegie Museum can complete the day. Not bad at all. Truly a lovely atmosphere, with a friendly staff. My favorite has to be the butterfly room. It's so beautiful and the creatures are very interesting. I highly recommend it!
