The Pittsburgh Children’s Museum is the idea venue for entertaining children in the 5 to 8 age bracket. Explore the “home” of Pittsburgh native Fred Roger’s of “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.” There are also a range of interactive activities, including paper making and silkscreening, a garage and workshop where kids can invent, build and take apart their work and a rope net where they can climb into a planetarium dome and launch parachutes.
