Awesome place to take the kids. Give yourself 3-4 hours to see and do everything including the Omnimax Theatre . A little outdated but still shows great films .

Jamie Atkinson

Loved the Omnimax and the submarine . The test of the museum is geared toward smaller children. Did not see the planetarium . A bit expensive esp once you add on the movie and planetarium .

Trish Huettel

A great place to spend the day though it can be difficult to take in everything in 1 day w/ small children. The exhibits change often: check the web site. http://www.carnegiesciencecenter.org/

Ask any of the older gentlemen about the model trains and they'll give you a great guided tour of the whole thing. Also Mr. Rodger is inside his house. Look in left window.

I go here around twice a year with my family. We all love it. You can get bogo coupons for it in the entertainment book . Plus, the app also gives a coupon for bogo as well . itll save you money.

Favorite attractions are the Buhl Digital Dome, a planetarium show which transports guests to space and inside the human body, and the Miniature Railroad that brings the history of Western PA to life.

Melissa Patton

Lots of fun activities for the kids of all ages! Older ones really enjoy the sports works , and they even have a special area for little ones!

Matt

Literally every single exhibit was worth it, not one bad section it was all awesome

Carnegie Science Center is a great place for the kiddos on a rainy day, but also conveniently located off the North Shore Trail .

Heather Hanson

For those with kids or not, this place makes learning interactive and fun. Catch a show in the OMNIMAX theater , which plays full length films , on those particularly dreary days.

NASA

NASA uses robots for a wide array of space exploration activities. Learn how robots think and act in the interactive RoboWorld area, which is the world's largest permanent robotics exhibition . Read more

The Railroad Village is wondrous!

Did you know? Industrialist Andrew Carnegie, for whom the Center is named, sought to bring what he called the "noble quartet: art , science, music & literature” to all - regardless of age or income. Read more

Everything is so cool here. Love the train setup !

Lindsey

Great hands on activities for kids

Tim F

Sports works is a lot of fun... Good way to wear down the kids! Long lines for the climbing wall and the bouncing harness

Alexa (@ladylexy) Andrzejewski

Neat place with an Omnimax (360 degree) theatre , but very similar to Cosi, so not sure it's worth a Columbus/Ohio resident's time.

Randy Randy

Midnight floyd is the shizznet definatly recomended new technology is pretty badass wish they still used the star projector like the old days though

lee nejak

Love the train setup

Doug Ray

The model trains on the second level are a great holiday activity.

Brian Searl

Don't miss the old cold war submarine on the river behind the Science Center. A great tour for anyone interested in history.

Sheri Fresonke Harper

Awesome submarine , robots, guitars, sportsworks and more, best, they are open Monday

Kelly Fergusob

A great time for both children and adults.

Youngkuk Kim

Enjoy with family. It's one of great place for children I've visited. Submarine is also awesome!

Patrick Rieger

I worked at CSC for a number of years. It was the most rewarding job in my life. I met people from all over the globe.

Sharone Rio

Just lost car keys, at least we'll be busy for a few hours!

Miguel Olivas-Lujan

Kids just LOVE the new sports center area!! Sciences applied to body parts and functions. Very well done!!!

Jerry Smith

Almost all of the interactive science that was there for the kids, is gone. Had a very boring trip. If it wasn't for the OMNIMAX, it would have been a completely wasted day.

Cat Rainey

Apparently I should work there, I had as much fun as my kid lol

Rachel Haring

Make sure to check out the old submarine and the Omnimax Theater !

Flexcia Delevine

Lasershows! Queen was the best! Acdc is awesome too!

Ian Everhart

The weekend evening laser shows are awesome but you may wish to bring earplugs.

K S

Cool for kids probably. Not so much for adults. Expensive as well .

Tim Tender

The Beatles Laser Show at the CSC Pittsburgh was pretty neat. Check it out... in a yellow submarine , a yellow submarine , a yellow submarine !

Jim Fisher

A museum with a submarine AND a planetarium ?!

Tamer Ziady

The secret to beating the robot at air hockey is practice.

Kristen Sayers

The kitchen theater ice cream making was great.

MiSSJeaNiuS Perez

Admission is a bit pricey ...people are nice there...lots of kids making noise...so if you dont like kids, then this is not the place for you.

Jason Paugh

Great fun for the whole family. I love this place but haven't been to SportsWorks yet. I hope we get to go today.

Jen Sako

The Sports Complex is awesome. Leave plenty of time to do this!

Don (wilytongue) Shandor JR

You have to visit the gift shop not bad.

Chad Philistine

Come visit the annual StormFest usually held in the begining of each year!!!

Sidra Saquib

Robots! miniature railroad! Not sure who had more fun, Us or the kids;)

Very disappointing. This should be called the Carnegie Children's Museum , as there is no attempt to engage science-curious adults.
