| - OMG. The Science Center.
This is one of those places that will appeal the simplest in us, the most basic... while simultaneously engaging and encouraging the most active and complex parts of our minds. If you have the opportunity to go and you do not, my heart breaks for your loss.
So many amazing exhibits... too many to really mention all of them. Some are permanent, others are rotating. There is no reason anyone with a sense of wonder shouldn't go and have his or her sock knocked off (probably figuratively, but who knows... maybe they have a sock-knocking exhibit in the works. I don't know their development plans.) Also... just about everything here ENCOURAGES you to touch it. This isn't some snooty museum. This is a Center for SCIENCE. A Science Center.
I loved this place when I was a child. And I thought, much like the wonderful Idlewild park I would one day outgrow it. I took my little sister there a couple years ago (now that I am an adult) and thank god... It is still as awesome and amazing as ever. Also, my little sister? yeah, she was 19 at the time. She loved it too.
Go. Do it. Let out your inner child. Your inner geek. That nerdy part of you we all have. Allow yourself to wonder. Ok? You shan't regret it.

Here is a short list of reasons to go to the Carnegie Science Center:
1. Greatest miniature train exhibit ever.
2. If you've ever been to a cool museum and been mad that you cannot touch ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
3. Omnimax theater
4. If you want to go inside a real-life, floating, WWII era "game-used" submarine.
Yes. I said "Submarine". A FREAKING SUB!!!
5. If you ever watched "The Magic School Bus"
6.If you think you can beat a robot at sir hockey (you cannot, I assure you.)
7. If you enjoy learning
8. If you know the tune to "Bill Nye The Science Guy- Biiiiiiilllllll Nyyyyeeee The Sciiiiiieeeeence guuuuuuuuy....! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill Nye the Science Guy! Science RUUUUUUUUUULES!" Do it. "
9. If you are now, or ever were, a child.
10. Any sentence you've ever uttered has started with "I wonder how..."
