While visiting Pittsburgh from NYC, i had a few hours to spare with my 12 and 4 year olds in tow. We decided to spend the time at the Carnegie Science Center. Great idea.
First of all, they accepted a reciprocal science museum membership i had so the cost was free. Yea.
Each floor had a theme with exhibits that were age appropriate for both kids. My 4 year old could have stayed at the water exhibit on the fourth floor for an hour. My 12 year old enjoyed the robots. The trains were a great way to start and the submarine is a must see to wrap up the visit.
Happy exploring.
