Both the kids and I are off tomorrow so I thought that would make for a good opportunity to take the family somewhere. Naturally we're thinking a museum since it's winter.. any other ideas? Is the Big Mac Museum worth checking out? Something kid friendly obviously
Unfortunately my wife is terrified of the aviary lmao
I’m almost positive it’s closed on tuesdays but I’d not, it’s great
Also, closed Tuesdays
I'm pretty sure the Big Mac museum is just a McDonald's with some memorabilia on the walls- but I could be wrong (if so I'm sure someone will correct me. I 2nd the aviary!
It was, but last time I was there, they had gotten rid of the memorabilia.
Was there a few months ago. There’s some memorabilia going over the history of the Big Mac in advertising campaigns over the years, and that’s about it. The giant Big Mac statue is there, but it is closed off to the public
How old are the kids? Science center, with the planetarium, submarine and sports works is always a hit and on a random Tuesday it should be pretty empty.
I thought all the Carnegie museums and science center was closed on Tuesdays
Yes, closed Tuesdays
Closed tomorrow
I think the submarine is closed during winter because trying to keep it warm is a waste.
Children's museum is great if the kids are young. My 8 year old was too old for it this fall.
Go on the weekends, then they have an area for older kids open in the building next door
Is that the museum lab?
Yes. I haven't been cause my kids are a bit younger. Going this month to check out the new Mo Willems art exhibit there
> My 8 year old was too old for it this fall.
Your 8 year old is broken, my wife and I last went in our early 30s and it was awesome.
Bicycle heaven is really cool, i think it's one of if not the largest collection of bikes in the world.
What about indoor rock climbing?
That's more our speed; want something to tire the kids out lol we found this Groupon for a trampoline park were just gonna do that
If you’re in the south hills, don’t go to Altitude trampoline park, go to Sky Zone. Altitude is cheap, but it is an absolute shithole embarrassment of a business.
That sounds great!!
How about the trolley Museum?
Heinz history center just got ranked in top 10
Children's museum is a riot imo for 5+ year olds and probably won't be super packed on a weekday. if your kids are older there is the museum lab (but looks like it's only open Saturday).
Schwin Museum
I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but the Big Mac is a just a rip-off of the Big Boy.

Have you ever been to the national aviary? It’s a pretty amazing experience and is pretty immersive as you are walking around in exhibits where the animals and birds are not confined to cages. It gets nothing but rave reviews when we take family trips there.
