Highlights from the kids: 2 story climbing area by entrance Garage area with the slide and lots of interactive play Water room - not to bring a swimsuit They have a large area to eat with a small cafe. I recommend brining your own food since the menu is limited. My kids enjoyed the pizza. The great part about this museum is the museum lab is included next door. After lunch we took a trip over to check it out. Not all the area were open but they had one section with several activities setup like bracelet making, Legos, chess and printing. My kids enjoyed the area and it kept them entertained and engaged

This was our second time visiting the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. The first time was last…read moresummer when my son was just over a year old, and we came again recently that he is almost two. He enjoyed it so much more this time. This place is truly amazing. Every corner has something new and engaging for kids. Each activity easily keeps them entertained for 15-20 minutes before they excitedly move on to the next fun thing. It's so thoughtfully designed. The entire third floor dedicated to water play is fantastic. My son absolutely loved it. This time we came prepared with proper clothes for water play, which made the experience even better. We arrived a little before noon and he played almost nonstop until closing at 5 pm. The ultimate proof of a great day: the moment I put him in the car, he fell asleep within two minutes. We live in California, and honestly I have not seen anything this amazing for young children in the Bay Area. This museum is truly special, and we will definitely visit again whenever we are in Pittsburgh.

There is a sign welcoming you to the park, and some benches, picnic tables, and a basketball court. There is a garden with lots of flowers and native plants. There is also a small dirt track for riding bicycles around in a circle. My favorite thing was a really colorful mural painted on the building next to the park. There are a few parking spots here also. Future plans include building a large Raccoon Sculpture in the center of the park, and I am looking forward to seeing that . . . Cheers!

There is so many pottery to choose from but I'd recommend having a rough idea of what you want to paint beforehand so you take less time selecting. I originally wanted to paint a matcha chawan bowl but they were sold out. I opted for a small bowl from the cheap pottery section (this is a section of slightly messed up pottery for a heavily discounted price). Prices in this section could range from $3-$20ish? Either way, it's on the low end and very affordable. You can choose 5 colors and you pay for the pottery piece you + the price of painting it (I believe we paid about $16-17 per person). So fun and we had a blast looking up painting inspiration from Pinterest and chatting while we finished our bowls! It takes about 2 weeks to get your item back so still waiting on mine but super excited to see how it came out!

One of the things that I love about my children is that they are so much braver than I ever was as…read morea child. I stand in awe at the risks they are willing to take. Even though the things they do make my hands sweaty, I don't want to stifle their spirit or curiosity, so we often do adventurous things that I would never do when I was a young girl. One of those things was going on a zipline canopy tour in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia. You're probably thinking, "That's nothing! Ziplining is perfectly safe!" And I'm sure it is, somewhat. But sometimes, I'm still that timid little girl who is afraid to get hurt. And I try to avoid doing anything that requires me to sign a waiver, wear a helmet, be strapped in by trained personnel, be high up off the ground, etc. So, yes, I was being a good mom and taking my kids to do adventurous things, but I let them have all of the adventure while I waited safely on the ground. Kids can zipline and traverse the canopy tour by themselves as long as they weigh at least 70 pounds. They also have to be able to make it the whole two hours of the tour. When we visited, it was very cold, and even colder once you get high up in the trees. If you visit on a cold day, bring some thin gloves and a beanie! The people who do the tours are students at West Virginia University. The three students we encountered on our tour were super knowledgeable and good with kids. They made sure my kids had all of their safety gear on correctly, showed them the basics, made sure they understood how to zipline safely, showed them what to do if they got stuck in the middle of a zipline (ay, dios mio!) and checked in with them throughout the tour. I felt like safety was of the utmost importance to them, which I appreciated. The canopy tour consisted of four zip-lines, seven platforms up in the trees, an aerial bridge, aerial ladder and a rappel station to exit the course. It was a fun time! No one died or fell and became paralyzed. (I mean, what kind of paranoid sicko would even think that sort of thing?!) The only thing I would do differently is visit on a warmer day. At the end, my oldest child said he couldn't feel his fingers and he was actively shivering. So, visiting on a warm day would probably make the experience a lot more enjoyable.

Before we embarked on the ziplines, we did a small, low-to-the-ground practice course. The guides made sure we all knew their hand signals and how to brake. Then, we did three ziplines, each one a little more adventurous than the last. We ended by stepping off a 45-foot platform, with the guides lowering us down on a cable. My kids (ages 12 and 14) had a blast. My husband and I loved it too. It was a great family adventure.

The one thing that is very obvious with this…read morecommunity is that nobody is on top of their duties, the children they take care of, the activities given and even their employees. If you're pursing another career and in school please don't bother working here. They assume that doing things out of your job description is more important than YOU and your HEALTH. They don't care about their workers and especially your children! Nothing will be adequate for the people running this place and to be frank.. it's ran by 20 year olds with no children and with no idea. The staff continues to get worse and more disgusting by the years go by, since all the good people are in quitting. Please assign your children elsewhere and if you're looking for a job, stay far away from SHH.

Our family have been members at Sarah Heinz for 15 years. For the most part it has been great…read more However, the last few years, the leadership has diminished. The new Steam Director does not put kids first. This was evident by the treatment the Worlds Qualifying robotics team received this last year. Because of the refusal to compromise, they effectively dismantled the robotics team, causing 1/3 of the team to leave, many who were recognized as Youth of the year and nominated for the First Robotics Deans list for there passion, contribution and promotion of the team and Heinz. Despite these accolades and the team having 1 qualifying robot completed, and another robot nearly finished, the director demanded changes to the robots that were not necessary, required late nights to accomplish, and threaten to withhold competitions and punish if not completed. Heinz decided mid season to change the student lead team, where the students had the autonomy to plan, build and make decision on the robot, allowing the to learn from mistakes or celebrate their accomplishments; to a student build team, being dictated by the new Steam Director. This was not how the team was run for many years, it was not what we signed up for, and was not how the team started or was advertised and promoted in the same year. We are very disappointed in the mentors who understood this from past years and refused to facilitate a productive transition. Instead of the Heinz motto, Laugh Learn Lead, it became, Be Quiet, Work, Follow. I believe everyone on the team deserves a refund for the significant change made to team midway through the season. There are still those at Heinz we respect and appreciate, and we are saddened our time there had to end on such bad terms, but we are deeply disappointed in the treatment my family and many others received and how easily Heinz disregarded the students who left. We cannot support Heinz House, or the new Steam Director after this. I hope its a better situation for others that stay, but I would be wary of the Steam Director and how she treats the programs under her. As it was explained to us by the mentors that know her, She will not except NO for an answer, and will do what it takes to get what she wants. We find that mindset to be very toxic when working with students at a place where you are supposed to foster leaders.

But when you're a little more established at the game this is where you'll end up. cost is relative, no substitute for getting out there on the real courses and hacking out of the rough though.
