  1. 1. PNC ParkFamilies can enjoy views of the skyline from seats that are generally close to the action. The park includes a dedicated kids play area behind center field to burn off energy during mid-game lulls. It is best for ages four and up, with typical visits lasting three hours.
  2. 2. Pittsburgh Zoo & AquariumThis combined indoor and outdoor space requires a fair amount of uphill walking, so bringing a sturdy stroller is recommended. The aquarium section offers a climate-controlled break from the sun or cold. Ideal for all ages, a full tour usually takes about three to four hours.
  3. 3. KennywoodThis traditional amusement park features a dedicated Kiddieland area with smaller rides for toddlers.
