This was the moment I realized I overstayed my welcome in Pittsburgh, an indisputably great city…read more However, even indisputably great cities can have disappointing attractions. My first clue was that I discovered this museum was not specific to Pittsburgh. In fact, it's part of a privately owned museum chain, one of over sixty identical museums across over 25 countries. I came here because I had a free morning trying to avoid the wintry weather. I decided to make stops on the North Shore along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. Clearly, not every stop is a landmark. This museum appears to be targeted to either young families with hyperactive kids and Instagram-addicted tourists. Falling somewhat into the latter category, I found the admission rather steep at $25 for what looked to be a relatively small scale space. I paid that same amount for both Carnegie Museums (Art and Natural History). This museum consisted of a series of interactive exhibits that create optical illusions. There were several spinning wheels, tilted spaces, distorted rooms, and mirrored illusions. My walkthrough lasted around fifteen minutes. Kids were anxious to go through the exhibits at breakneck speed, and my attention span was rarely stimulated by the exhibits. In visiting this museum, at least I won't be curious about the sixty other Museums of Illusions. RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

If you are a fan of local history, enjoy old architecture, like looking at antiques, and hearing…read moreinteresting stories about people, then I highly recommend visiting. Tours are by appointment, and can be arranged via the Zelienople Historical Society. There are two museums within walking distance of each other, the Passavant House, and the Buhl House. Each house tour runs for approx. 45 minutes, and is led by a volunteer docent from the society. There is a suggested donation of $5 per person for the tour (which includes both houses). There is so much to see inside these two houses, and the docents were very interesting and knowledgeable. Also, there are gardens behind each house, and these can be viewed at any time since they are outdoors, and there is no charge just to view the gardens (The gardens at Passavant House are very nice, and include lots of heirloom vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees which are all labeled. Also there is a beautiful pavilion where you can sit and relax). The garden at Buhl house has flowers and a fountain, plus a spring that is running through a tunnel underneath the house. If you are in the area, do check out these magnificent homes that are now museums. Also, there are places to eat and shop within walking distance. We ate lunch at the Historic Kaufman Tavern after our tour . . . Cheers!

This museum has something for everybody.

The upstairs HO scale display is a thing of beauty and of the history of the rails in Western PA as close to the real trains and buildings existing in the 1950s. Well worth the price of admission and the caretakers/hobbyists are there to provide information or answer questions about the display or about the history of the museum.

I have been to model train exhibits before and have always enjoyed them. Usually these exhibits…read moreare modest in size because of the time, money, hands and other resources required to build and maintain them. Additionally, in my experience they are usually meant to portray hypothetical settings rather than resemble actual places. So, I was quite surprised at both the scope of this particular project as well as the fact that this is a miniaturized cross section of the city of Pittsburgh from 1953 that stretches from downtown toward Ohio Pyle and beyond. Its many historical details are pleasingly accurate as anyone can attest to through research on the internet. For me, I had the privilege of having my Dad and Uncle there (both of whom were living in Pittsburgh in that year and were excited at getting to walk through their childhood city). Walking through the room and experiencing it through their eyes made it perhaps even more enjoyable. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who has an interest in this very specific category of art. It is definitely worth the entrance fee. Also, a huge shout-out to those who worked on creating this masterpiece. Please keep it up!

Admission to the museum is free, but I encourage you to bring lots of one-, five-, and ten-dollar bills to put into the jars as donations to help to pay for their restorations and other bills. Compared to other aircraft museums, Air Heritage is sort of small, but I enjoyed seeing various military and civilian aircraft, such as the Fairchild C-123K Provider "Thunderpig", the Douglas C-47B Skytrain "Luck of the Irish", and the McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom II. I strongly advise other visitors to accept a *guided tour.* My tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable, and I learned a lot from him. He even allowed me to go inside a few airplanes and to take photos. Two other employees were there when I first arrived, and they ignored me for several minutes and never even said hello.

The museum was relatively empty when I went except for multiple field trips of elementary school students.

The museum was clean, inviting, easy to navigate and had staff all over to help give directions.

Truth be told, the key reason I came here was that the $25 admission gave me concurrent access to the Carnegie Museum of Art since the two museums share the same building. If dinos are your thing, the scale was indeed impressive. Just be mindful they didn't move and were ironically crowded together in one section (Photo 7). There are rooms dedicated to wildlife dioramas from eons past, including the fabled La Brea Tar Pits (Photo 9), as well as more current ones representing North America, the polar caps, and the African savanna. I thought the most arresting exhibits were the rooms dedicated to minerals, gems, and jewelry. The Hillman Hall focuses on natural forms and dramatic shapes (Photo 8), while the Wertz Gallery presents more of the finished, polished results (Photo 10). It felt like Tiffany's without the breakfast or Holly Golightly. It was quite a family-friendly hodgepodge of attractions. It seemed I deal for a junior high school field trip, probably somewhat less for out-of-town curmudgeons like me. RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

Wow, this place is staked full of pinball machines and has a small collection of arcade games. I…read morelike pinball, but enjoy arcade games much more, so this was a slight let down, but opened my eyes to the beauty of what pinball is all about. I have played pinball many times, but never heavily. I was forced to explore the pinball games more and got a great experience. I learned that pinball is about launching that ball out there to see how the machine will interact with the ball. Instead of just trying to get the highest score, just see what the game will do and try to get your ball up those ramps and hit off those bumpers. Some have extra levels with another set of flippers that make playing more interesting. I got better at playing multi-ball which is a tricky skill to master. The only downside is that you will find many games that do not work, or are shut down with no sign to indicate the games status. It kind of gets frustrating going from game to game to see which one actually works. Also, it was freezing in there today and my hands got numb from being in there for a long stretch. If you go downstairs they have the really ancient games. Most of them do not work, but it is fun to see what kind of goofy games people used to play. Sad again is a large group of arcade games they left to die and rot down there, ouch! Overall I think it is a very cool place to check out and you can spend lots of time there having fun despite the problems. Like I said there a ton of games that do not work, but this is only a small percentage of the games that do work, so the good outweighs the bad.

There was also a room on display showing just how much back stock they have since Andy was so good at replicating and producing due to his technique. That means you can visit many times and hopefully always have something new to see. Standouts: - the cloud display (think of being surrounded by silver balloons flying around. Super cool) - one of his aprons smothered in paint - the chest the infamous manuscript was found in (the shooting fiasco) - urine art Overall, if you can appreciate art a little or love Andy this is a really cool museum! I would suggest allowing at least 2 hours to really take everything in.
