Carnegie Science Center

The Carnegie Science Center has been one of Nick's favorite attractions in Pittsburgh since he was nothing more than a Cub Scout. The science center offers cool exhibits for geeks folks of all ages, including a planetarium, an Omnimax theater and a decommissioned submarine. Fun for the whole family! It also happens to be right across the street from...

Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Need we say more?

Pittsburgh Pirates - PNC Park

Right next door to Heinz Field and right down the river from the science center, PNC Park is widely regarded as one of the best parks in the major leagues. Although the Pirates are in the middle of a 35-year-rebuilding plan, the park itself is worth a trip to the ballpark! While you're there, indulge in some Pittsburgh-area cuisine, such as pierogies, Italian sausage, or a Primanti Brothers sandwich. Or you could get a hot dog and a pretzel - completely up to you.

Kennywood has been a Pittsburgh-area institution for over 100 years. As amusement parks go, this is one of the best - there are great coasters for the fearless, and plenty of good food & games for those who enjoy keeping their feet firmly on terra firma.

Phipps Conservatory houses dozens of beautiful gardens, including a butterfly room. Liz and Nick recently visited the conservatory for our engagement photos - they came out great!

No trip to Pittsburgh is complete without a ride up the delightfully-rickety incline. The incline, completed in 1870 at a cost of roughly $50,000, runs between the shore of the Monongahela River and the top of Mt Washington...

Pittsburgh - Mount Washington

Mount Washington sits 600 feet above the city center, providing some of the most beautiful panoramas available in the Pittsburgh area. Mount Washington is also home to many fine restaurants, most of which are perched right on the hillside. Liz actually took this picture from the Incline's observation deck... not bad, huh?
