Things To Do
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
Beautiful botanical garden featuring flowers and plants of all types, as well as various Chihuly glass pieces! Also happens to be where we had our 1st date and where we got engaged!
Duquesne Incline
Classic funicular incline offering great views of downtown Pittsburgh, the north shore stadiums, and the iconic confluence of the three rivers!
Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium
Zoo & Aquarium all rolled into one - need we say more?!
PNC Park
If you arrive in town early, the Pirates host the Dodgers on 6/9-6/11, and the Marlins on 6/12-6/14
Kennywood
Pittsburghs local amusement park, featuring numerous roller coasters, rides, and games. Fun for all ages, and for any roller coaster fans, kennywood is home to the tallest inversion coaster in the world. Also 1 of 2 theme parks to be designated as a national historical landmark!
Senator John Heinz History Center
Largest museum in Pennsylvania, covering the history of the region from first settlement through modern day, including, of course, Heinz Ketchup itself & Pittsburgh Sports
Kamin Science Center
Pittsburgh's most visited museum! Interactive exhibits covering things from sports to stars and everything in-between (including an actual submarine parked in the river). Science of speed exhibit slated to open summer 2026 (If I had the date I'd tell ya) - featuring a 2-story go-kart track!
Carnegie Museum of Natural History/Art
One ticket for both museums! Biggest draw is probably the 1st T-Rex fossil ever found, but both museums have countless exhibits
South Park Golf Course
Our local muni! (And nature preserve - seen more turkeys and deer here than anywhere else). We've spent many a warm evening walking the 9 hole course here with friends!
Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar
A true Pittsburgh meal - sandwich with fries and coleslaw included…and by that we mean included in the sandwich not on the side! We listed the one closest to us, but for anyone wanting to try the original location, it can be found in the Strip District at 46 18th St!
Primo’s Tacos & Tequila
Unassuming spot with great street tacos and drinks!
Taiwanese Bistro Cafe 33
We love Din Tai Fung, and although there isn’t one here, this place has fantastic Taiwanese food to help quench our (somewhat insatiable) hungers for Din Tai Fung. Highly recommend the stir fry chicken rice noodles or the beef with black pepper sauce and broccoli!
Pleasant Bar
Local watering hole that is approximately 20 seconds from our front door - great place for a drink or bite to eat (very) nearby
TRUSS Brewing Company
Brewery with outdoor seating + woodfired pizzas located steps away from our house!
