About Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

This interactive museum for young visitors sits in the Allegheny Center neighborhood on Pittsburgh's Northside. Families can explore temporary and permanent exhibits, including a newer display built around the characters and lessons of Mister Rogers, Daniel Tiger, and Donkey Hodie. The MuseumLab area hosts art-focused activities, and on weekends it features a mini golf experience. The museum also runs day camps for children ages 5 to 9, offers seasonal events, and hosts character appearances and trolley rides each month. Admission prices vary by day, with some free and reduced-price days offered throughout the year.
