The picture experience is expensive but they provide the costumes and the backgrounds and do great special effects. I was super happy with my pictures. You don't have to spend the extra money on the gift shop. I ordered unicorn bubble wands on Amazon before the event. No one cared that we already had them. The inflatables and ride on unicorns were fun ! The unicorn in costume was dancing with kids! We skipped adopting a unicorn that was super expensive but again your choice on whether or not to purchase there. Overall a great event!

Do NOT go to The Unicorn World. This is an overpriced scam. I saw the advertisement on Facebook and…read moreimmediately bought tickets for my daughter and her friend for her fourth birthday. I bought 3 tickets (they charge for parents which is insane but whatever) plus the magic passes, and lastly I purchased a "birthday surprise." The total came to over $180. #1. The "birthday surprise" was a small, chintzy unicorn stuffed animal. I honestly thought it was a mistake. #2. The unicorns are terrifying. The several little girls before and after us were all afraid, including the two little girls I brought. #3. 95% of the workers were grown men who reeked of marijuana. They didn't engage, we had to awkwardly decide when to get our children on and off of attractions because there was no direction. #4. The Magic Pass is grossly overpriced. You are paying for 5 bouncy houses, unicorn rides, and a jeep ride. It is supposed to include a bubble house but it was not there. I emailed customer service and they said it was "broken". Oopsies! The bouncy houses are all the exact same, just different colors. They are just your basic bouncy house. The "rides" are two of the exact same unicorn ride. It is the most basic attraction and to call it a ride is very misleading. No child above the age of MAYBE three would be interested. My girls are newly four years old and had no interest. The jeep ride is pictured below. Two battery operated jeeps that they can drive in a circle. (The third jeep is replacing one of the jeeps because of a dying battery)The kids were completely bored after going around twice. The centerpiece looks like it's made out of construction paper. The lines are very long because these are the only attractions included in the magic pass. #5. Everything is visibly dirty. #6. Anything that is not included is wildly expensive. $20 for face paint. $25 to "adopt a unicorn" (a toy you can find at the dollar store), etc. #7. Half of the attractions are photo ops. I was happy to snap a picture when we first walked in, but was quickly turned off by how many selfie stations there were. Bottom line, this is a complete and total overpriced scam. I had several conversations with so many other agitated parents. It's cheap, thrown together, and absolutely NOTHINGGGGG like the pictures you see on Facebook or their website. The selfies you see of children are in well-lit selfie stations within the first several minutes of walking in when everyone is excited to see what's inside. Save your money. Buy your daughter a unicorn costume, buy some unicorn decor, paint her face, take her out to get her nails painted, and have a dance party with her friends. She will have just as much fun and you won't be out $200+.

I am not downtown everyday anymore, but any time I am I try to stop by Mellon Square Park. It's such a nice place to sit and relax and has a great view of all the really old architecture from nearby buildings. When it's not busy on the weekdays there can be some interesting characters, so I try to only sit down when there are other people around. I have been loving the Summer block parties that Talia puts on. They have live music, cocktails, and Italian food for a couple hours once or twice a month. It is really fun, especially when the weather is nice. There is a parking garage on Oliver underneath the park and the Omni William Penn is right across the street. This is a great place to take photos at too! I feel like a lot of local people don't even know about this serene little square in the middle of the city.

Frankie Pace Park is a public park that opened in 2021 and is owned by the City of Pittsburgh. The…read morepark is a "cap" that covers part of Interstate 579 and reconnects the Hill District with the Business District, helping residents to commute to jobs. The park is 3 acres and contains pedestrian paths, bicycle paths, a bus stop, benches, grassy lawns, trees, rain gardens, steps, art, performance areas, etcetera. The park is named after Frankie Mae Pace (1905-1989), a female activist who fought against the Urban Redevelopment Authority's redevelopment of the Hill District in the 1950s onward. The redevelopment displaced thousands of Black and immigrant residents and disrupted their social and economic networks. Frankie Pace advocated for the residents' housing and education. A story wall showcases the life of Frankie Pace, and a second story wall showcases another prominent person of the Hill District, Martin Delany (1812-1885), who was an abolitionist, journalist, and educator. Furthermore, throughout the park, signs show "Keisha," an African American cartoon who guides visitors along the paths. For decades, this land was the location of the Civic Arena and then parking lots. Other, larger parking lots are currently still located farther into the Hill District and provide parking spaces for suburban commuters. I appreciate that Frankie Pace Park helps Hill District residents to walk or take the bus to other neighborhoods and also provides a convenient place for recreation. My visit was on a chilly, rainy weekend day, and I noticed only one other person walking along the paths. I hope that this park gets more use on sunny days and week days.
