Carnegie Science Center
While in Pittsburgh you are bound to head the name Carnegie, all you need to know is Carnegie means museum. There are four Carnegie museum in Pittsburgh and the Carnegie Science Center is my favorite. Mostly because my kids loved it and when the kids are happy everyone is happy. Visiting the museum is easy and the only thing you need to decide on is if you want to see an OMNIMAX show or not. The OMNIIMAX is a unique IMAX dome. The theater is 4 story state of the art IMAX, there is only about 50 in the united states. Seeing a movie here is cheaper than you might think. A regular IMAX movie runs about 13 to 15 bucks but a movie here is just $8 and when its bundled with admission to the science center its only 5 bucks. General Admission to the museum is $18 for adults or $12 for kids under 12. This isn’t your normal science museum as well its great for all ages both kids and adults. Even as a father I still found it really interesting and quite fun. The material and exhibits are really top notch and worth the money. One of my favorite parts was the USS Requin. This retired navy Submarine is now used as a way to teach the public how hard life on a submarine really is. You can jump onboard and walk the submarine to see how 80 men lived and worked.
