Yesterday I took my kids for the first time, and we were really amazed by all the museum has to offer. There's a whole lot to look at and play with - the major themes of the interactive exhibits include weather, sound and light, robotics, physiology and health, and marine http://kidsburgh.blogspot.com/2010/06/carnegie-science-center.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Laura)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317897266638569025.post-7197351541539916244Mon, 21 Jun 2010 18:22:00 +00002010-06-21T11:43:17.872-07:00foodpromotionsYesterday I got an email from Eat 'n Park. They wanted to let me and my readers know about their summer specials for kids.I wasn't sure if I should do it. Eat 'n Park may be a Pittsburgh tradition, but I haven't personally set foot in the restaurant in years, so I can't provide a very authoritative review. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Eat 'n Park is directly http://kidsburgh.blogspot.com/2010/06/eat-n-park-summer-specials.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Laura)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317897266638569025.post-1066737206522940821Sat, 12 Jun 2010 19:15:00 +00002010-06-12T22:09:32.196-07:00museumplacesOne of the most popular destinations in Pittsburgh is the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, located on Forbes Avenue in Oakland. Guests can visit both museums with a single ticket, but most younger visitors will probably prefer the natural history museum. Be sure to hit the large hall of dinosaurs skeletons, then wind your way through lots of other interesting displays, from dazzling http://kidsburgh.blogspot.com/2010/06/carnegie-museums-of-art-and-natural.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Laura)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317897266638569025.post-2313279478773917848Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:14:00 +00002010-06-11T15:16:56.193-07:00busgetting aroundonlineView Larger MapDespite the popularity of complaining about Pittsburgh's public transportation system, PAT buses can be very handy, whether they're your main mode of transportation or an occasional alternative. While it can be a hassle to get kids on and off the bus, it can also be a pleasant way to travel, especially if you'd rather not deal with carseats or driving.
