Carnegie Science Center Reviews

The technology is strong at this one. There's a robot who shoots basketballs, an interactive look at the human body, and many more things to do and explore. Each level is quite small but jam packed with things. Staff gets interative with you as well. My 3 year old sat on the floor with a worker and sorted fruits and veggies by color. Unfortunately, I think that overall the museum is focused more on a middle school and older crowd as even the hands on activities go right over a 6 or 7 year olds head. That said, I had a great time and when the kids are older I think they would have a better time too. So...would I go back? In a heartbeat.

There is something for everyone at this museum. You can definitely spend a whole day here

If you are a complete retard you will love this place. Great for kids though.

This is the best science center in the world. The train display really tops it off and they have there own submarine!!! My childhood was spent at this wonderful establishment. I would recommend everyone to go.

Science Center is great but the other parents are horrible role models.

If I am remembering the museum name right, there was this one exhibit hall up on the third floor that had robotics on display. My favorite one was a hydraulic arm that you could play air hockey against.

There was also an earthquake simulator on the first floor.

Great place to take the kids. My wife and I went on our own and had a good time. There's lots to see and do. The sports section is really great to get the kids involved.

If you go take the time to go through the submarine, it was an eye opener how confined it is and very interesting! (One small note, you will come out with a hint of diesel smell on you).

A great location to visit if you're in town.

Kid's Couldn't get enough of the science center!!! A++++

If you are going to Pittsburgh with kids, this is a definite must-see. It is priced similar to discount theme park tickets. However, you might as well plan to be there all day, the kids did not want to leave. This is a really cool place, but please do yourself a favor and go to the adjacent Carnegie Sports Complex first. I believe the admission tickets covers entrance to both (if my memory serves correct). My family and I enjoyed the Sports complex more as there were more physical activities for the kids and adults. The science center was nice, it had a number of experiments and history, which is great, but it was painful making the kids read the captions for everything they were looking at. The train set is beautiful, but the kids wanted to look and go. Since this was a six hour drive, we are reading everything....

***Bonus: The museum offers free admission two days per year. And, you can see the building from the Duquesne Incline

The best science museum.
The Sports Works is a separate building but it could almost be a complete museum on it's own.
The whole place is so fun, the kids don't even realized how much they are learning.

Such a great place. You must schedule a time, but the staff is amazing and working right behind you to keep clean. Thank you!

I'm sure I would have had an even better time if I had small children here but even without it was a great day. I was reviving an old family tradition of going to the Miniature Railroad and Village at Christmas time and it was even better than I remembered. I will be back next Christmas for sure!

Loved it going back next summer. So much to experience

The Science Center was great, however the Sports Building was a little overcrowded. Be sure to check out the submarine outside of the science center, it is a must see!

The place is under construction & change right now but I couldn't tell @ all I'm very curious to see the new set up after it's all done , but besides all that I always seem to have great much needed family time the only thing is we came late in the day we thought it was open later but that's a different day & I wish the cashier would have told us it closes in a hour ! We didn't know went & ate went on the submarine & when we came back in we found out we had 20 min !!!! So we split up taking one kid to see the trains & the other to the water table! All in all though it's a nice place to spend yr day with family or friends !
