For adults, there is less science than I'd like, but the exhibits are nevertheless interesting. For kids, there is less science than I'd like, but the exhibits are great. And they have a really nice reef aquarium. Oh, and a SUBMARINE!

I enjoy going to science centers when I travel to different cities but I d have to rate this one pretty low on the list. I will point out, that I am a young adult. Nonetheless, this science center was quite overpriced. We went to a few other attractions around the city (Heinz History Center, Andy Wa...

Our entire family loves coming to the science center. The kids especially love the interactive demonstrations, and they nearly have to be dragged out of Sports Works. We have a museum membership and most of our time is spent at the science center. I just can't say enough about this place. We are v...

Sportsworks is a fun place; however, we had a very disappointing day today. Staff at the rock wall would not let my daughter on. I waited in line & she stepped out for a bit with my older daughter. After being in line for 45 minutes & at the line s end, where you harness up, there is a notice about ...

I've taken my kids to science centers all over the country and we enjoy finding new activities along with the exhibits you might expect. Carnegie Science Center is clean and well maintained. We enjoyed some unique activities. The fact that it includes the submarine and SportsWorks was just a bonus. ...

Our kids love this place! Exhibits rotate throughout the year which makes every visit unique. The coolest part is that they make the exhibits accessable to all ages and abilities. The only drawback is the food court. Pack a meal or go somewhere else for healthier dining options.

Great place to go with or without your kids. Such a positive learning experience for young and old alike. Pittsburgh is lucky to have CSC here. The laser shows are awesome, the ever changing displays make this worth a visit every few months. The train room is just mind blowing.

Today, the day of the Movie Marathon in honor of renovating the theatre, was a perfect example of inept management. We called at 2 PM about a movie we wanted to see running at 5 PM. We asked the phone receptionist if we needed to book. We were told "No it is first come first served." We arrived at ...

We held my wedding reception here and it was fantastic. The employees were patient and helpful, the view was beautiful, the food was delicious and the entire time was lots of fun. It's wonderful for both special events and everyday fun.

Very boring. Went here for a school trip. Half of the things are broken and unusable and you had to have a wristband to do most of the things in the sports center. The funnest thing was the submarine and even that wasn t that fun it smelled bad and it was very tight. The only reason I m giving this ...

This museum is fun for kids 3-100. There is a children's section on the top floor for younger kids. It can be overwhelming when it is crowded but if you visit at the right time the exhibits are fun. There is no bubble exhibit....I feel like you can't have a science museum without a bubble exhibit...

I feel as though the exhibits could be updated to allow for more learning. I understand that the museum is for children, but there should be the option of learning more. For example, there is a robot with which people can play air hockey. That is great for getting children interested. For an older a...

Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental. Long ago the four nations lived in harmony, but everything changed when Biology attacked. Only The Carnegie Science Center master of all science knowledge could stop them. But when the world needed them the most, they were there. Place is freaking lit! 10/...

Amazing place.
Great venue for entertaining kids and nerds of all ages. There is an abundance of exhibits and interactive displays throughout the entire building.
It could be an all day family outing, an ideal place for a class field trip, or a fun way to spend an afternoon playing air hockey agai...

Not that impressed. Paid to get in, NO ONE checks. There were very few staff to guide your experience. They are doing tons of construction and the place is full of dated and worn displays. Many were out of order. Submarine closed at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Overall, very crowded and...

We loved it! So great i beat the robot in air hockey and no one else did around me haha so that was great. We got a 1 year pass while there. The man that greeted us was knowledge, fun and easy to talk to! We will be back I'm sure of it! The submarine was awesome and check out the "high voltage" show...

This review is specific to the "Art of the Brick" exhibit. I guess I'm not sure how the museum justifies $20 for an exhibit (which doesn't include admission to any other part of the museum) that can be seen (in its entirety) in 20 minutes. I was able to look at and read everything that had been writ...

Okay, I'm going to be the realist or bad guy, whichever you prefer. This is the worst excuse for a science center I've been to. Ones I've been decades ago were more interesting than this as well as others around the country. I expected more from Carnegie. Our daughter is homeschooled and we went on ...

Went here with an 11 yr old on a Friday. I've been here before and I am quite disappointed how it has degraded over the years. The IMAX is now replaced with the Rangos, which is essentially a 3d movie theater. The mens restroom was AWFUL. I've seen gas station bathrooms cleaner than this. Water was ...

Welp, it could have been a lot better. $20 for outdated science. There is so much incredible technology these days and the best ya get is an old planetarium, some not-so-exciting fish tanks. Not awful, but not impressive in the least.

Forth floor specially designed for little kids - under 6 years old.

I took my 3 and 4 year old here on a Saturday and it was so packed we could barely use any of the interactive exhibits. On top of that the ones that weren't popular and we could get to were broken or didnt work well. It was most likely so packed because it's the middle of Winter and you cant do much...
