| - I saved this review for my 100th review on Yelp for a reason.
I believe it is "good juju" to save positive vibrations for those moments that necessitate it.
This is a spectacular experience, and deserves no less than "the Full Monty" in my book... My wife and I have always tried to impart a sense of cultural appreciation in ourselves and our little one. Because of this, we became members of the Carnegie Museums our first month here in Pittsburgh, and have been nothing short of pleased with the investment.
I have written a prior review on the full experience of the Carnegie Museums, and fully believe that the whole package is an extremely competitive value for families who want to give themselves a wonderful gift that can make weekends really great the whole year 'round. (You get access to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum of Art, The Carnegie Science Center just by Heinz Field, and The Warhol Museum!!!)
Now, when considering the individual museums, I must say that for us and our little one, this is the crown jewel - we come here at least 6-10 times a year, and this has really usurped the Zoo (sorry!) as our go-to place for a quick weekend cultural family activity. Some have complained about having to pay extra for parking, and I agree; it would be nice to have $3 parking for members or even a credit card kiosk for parking so we don't have to stop at the ATM and get cash, but overall, this is an incredible buy!
They have one of the best dinosaur exhibits I can remember attending. Our little one spends lots of time here, just taking it all in. The geological exhibit is quite honestly the best of its kind that I have ever seen - I certainly think it's better assembled and more comprehensive than in many other Natural History museums I've been to.
The real amazing part of this museum, however, are the hidden jewels. The Egyptian exhibits; the Arctic cultural exhibits; the Native American exhibits, the preserved avian specimens tucked in the crosswalk between the main museum and the exhibits listed above - all of these are reasons to bring your family here! Every time we come, we discover something new and important.
If the above review is not making you want to immediately visit, then I cannot help you. There is a reason so many people give this place 5 stars - surely you can visit and make up your own mind. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
Will definitely be back!
