"children's museum"
I love this place. It is a really nice way to tire out your kids on a weekend afternoon. Bring a change of clothes for the water room on the 3rd floor because your kids and you will get wet! Be careful not to wait too long to do the painting on the first floor because they pack up everything earlier than you expect and then your kids have missed all the creative art stuff.

"One of the best kid's museums..."
We took our 3 year old granddaughter here for the day and she had a ball. It is very exciting and imaginative. Be sure to bring extra clothes and maybe a raincoat as the water area which the kids love is really, really a water area. We had a wild, wet time.

"Fun with the Family"
In November 2004 the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh opened its expanded headquarters. The spectacular world-class children’s center links the Children’s Museum housed in the old Allegheny Post Office to the neighboring Buhl building, with a new three-story structure whose entire facade is “screened” by a shimmering wind sculpture. With four times more space, the museum presents programs, exhibits, and performances to nurture children’s innate joy, creativity, and curiosity.
Kids interact with Real Stuff exhibits, where they can explore a MINI Cooper to learn about mechanics in the Garage; create and sail a boat down a 53-foot waterway in Waterplay; climb into the Attic, where gravity and common sense take a holiday; create a silkscreen, make paper, emboss and sculpt in the Studio, visit King Friday’s palace, drive the trolley and sing familiar songs in a life size re-creation of the original Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood television set, and much, much more. There’s even a special space designed for toddlers.

"Decent children's museum"
This is another one of those museums that's hard to find if you don't know the area or don't have a good GPS. Some of the areas were a lot of fun for the kids, and I was a big fan of the Mr. Rogers exhibit with its life-size trolley and make-believe castle. Other parts we kind of glossed over because they didn't really hold the kids' interest. We spent a morning here, about 3 hours, and had pretty much seen everything there was to see.
