"A perfect view of Pittsburgh!"
Last summer, my husband and I took the family to Pittsburgh for the day. We found our way to the Duquense Incline. We all had fun, even the small children. They loved getting to put the coins in the machine, and the penny stamper at the top. The views from the top of the Incline makes me remember why I love this town!

" fun but not way fun"
May bore the little ones, but great fun. the Inclines of Pittsburgh are a must do for the city. It is a short ride in a cart up to the top. Once there, you can see the entire city at a great view. If you are lucky you will share the area with some wildlife including deer. A lot of fun.

"Incline a simple attraction"
This is a simple attraction that is very neat. My cousin got married on Mt. Washington and the reception was in Station Square. From baby's to great grandparents we all parked below and rode both ways on the incline. It had alot of neat pictures to look at while we were waiting and was a very pleasant view riding up and down. However, my husband is a fraid of heights and he wasnt as thrilled ot ride it, may consider this if you have someone afraid of heights.

"Worth checking out"
I enjoyed checking this place out. Great photo museum of Pittsburgh over the years. Very neat. Nice view. Small but quaint. It was neat to see the incline car travel on the track. Very cute, quaint area.
If you're poking around Pittsburgh this makes a great stop on the itinerary. A little piece of Pittsburgh history.

"duquesne incline"
we went with my whole family (age range 18 mos-70) and everyone was enthusiastic about the experience. for a couple of dollars you get get an exceptional view of the city and a little bit of history. i'm sure it's really neat at night with all the lights. there's some neat places to eat right next door too, that provide the same view.

"Fun with the Family"
Currently operated by the Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline, this incline has been in operation since 1877. The interiors are made of handcarved cherry panels, with oak and bird’s-eye maple trim and amber glass transoms. You can rise up 400 feet at a thirty-degree angle to the New Observation Deck at the upper station and take in the spectacular vista.

"Old-Fashioned Thrill"
It's hard to believe this thing was built in the 1880's. Even with my fear of heights, it seemed very stable. The view from the top is amazing. The kids really liked the ride, and the price is low. Definitely something to do when in Pittsburgh.
