Spend the afternoon in the most visited museum in Pittsburgh! With more than 250 hands-on science exhibits, along with laser light shows, the science carnival and an observatory, this attraction aims to bring out the fun in science, and is a true success.

Among the Carnegie Science Center's great attractions are the newly constructed Buhl Digital Dome, with shows like "A Traveler's Guide to Mars," and "Stars over Pittsburgh" and the Omnimax Theater, Pittsburgh's only four-story theater with stadium-style seating. The Science Center has its own Miniature Railroad & Village, where visitors take a walking tour of western Pennsylvania and realistic animated scenes bring the turn of the century to life. The Science Center is also home to the USS Requin, a World War II submarine, where each exhibit station explains a nautical science concept and ties it to real-life stories about life on the ship.

Besides great exhibits for kids and adults, the Carnegie Science Center has overnight weekend sleepover parties for the adventurous, as well as workshops and programs for preschoolers. When here, be sure to drop by the River View Café to re-fuel properly for your fun-filled day here.

The Carnegie Science Center is located at One Allegheny Avenue in Pittsburgh, so dress comfortably and get ready to experience a wonderland of science for all ages.

Recipient of the 2003 National Award for Museum Service, Carnegie Science Center inspires and entertains by connecting science and technology with everyday life. In addition to providing valuable scientific experiences, Carnegie Science Center engages in outreach programs that serve Pittsburgh's diverse community. The Science Center is located on Pittsburgh's North Shore along the banks of the Ohio River and is accessible to persons with disabilities.
