Any fun places to visit in Pittsburgh,PA?
You can ride the incline across from Station Square to Mt.


Washington and look out over the city. There is the Carnegie


Museum of Natural History in Oakland. Sandcastles is a water


park in Homestead. They have water slides and go carts and


swimming for adults and little kids. The Aviary on the north


side, if you are interested in seeing birds. North and South


parks have a bike trail, picnicing, pony rides on weekends,


and a childrens playground. Take in a ball game at PNC


Park. See the fountain at PPG Place downtown. Sorry,


that is all I can think of.
Reply:You should definitely not miss the National Aviary. It's very cheap to get in and something you won't forget. There are birds literally everywhere. You'll be walking along and a 2 1/2ft. tall emperor pigeon will be right in the middle of your path. I love it myself and my nieces and nephew go crazy for the place.





The science center is also excellent for the family. Here's a link so you can check out what's going on there.

If you want a tour, theres no better tour around than a Just Ducky Tour. It's literally a boat with wheels. You'll take it through the city as well as on to the river. Here's the link:

If you want a taste of the nightlife, the two biggest places are Carson St. on the South Side (particularly from about 10th through 30th st's.), and Station Square. They both have plenty of bars, stores, clubs, restaurants, you name it.
Reply:The folks above gave you some good suggestions. Outside the City, if you're interested in traveling around the region a little, there's also Fort Necessity %26amp; Friendship Hill National Historic Sites (Fayette County), the Trolley Museum (Washington County), and lots of state parks and small towns to visit. - - - Enjoy!
