Our favorites include a robot who shoots baskets with impressive precision and another who challenges visitors in air hockey. Roboworld is considered the world’s largest permanent robotics exhibition and features more than 30 interactive displays. Other highlights in the sports complex include a 24-foot rock climbing wall (which even my four year old daughter tried out), a batting cage, a 10-meter dash and various challenges for endurance and balance.
The Ropes Course is for children who are at least 48 inches, but the SkyTykes Ropes Course offers younger kids an age-appropriate version that my daughter loves.

I think it’s the zip line that makes this my boys’ favorite “exhibit” ever.
#KENNYWOOD CHAPERONE POLICY SERIES#
The Ropes Challenge consists of a series of challenges, including a rope bridge, rolling logs and a horizontal net and culminates with a zip line. We visit the Carnegie Science Center several times a year and generally aim to arrive right at the 10:00 am opening and head straight to the Ropes Challenge in Highmark SportsWorks ® because the line can get quite long by mid-morning. While the “science” portion of the Carnegie Science Center is pretty impressive, the real draw for my kids is Highmark SportsWorks ®, which is housed in an adjacent building and uses more than 30 interactive sports exhibits to show how physics, anatomy, biology and chemistry control sports. The Carnegie Science Center is my boys’ favorite museum, and they’ve been to dozens all over the world. It’s just a short drive (or even walk) from downtown. Pittsburgh’s North Shore boasts picturesque views of Pittsburgh’s downtown, sports venues and world-class museums. Here are some of the best things to do in Pittsburgh with kids: Best Things to Do in Pittsburgh’s North Shore
In our many visits, we have found so many gems. Very little of its industrial past remains in this city now known for its hills, bridges, parks and biking and jogging trails. Now called the “Steel City,” Pittsburgh used to be known as the “Smoky City” because of so much pollution from the mills. In the 19th century, Andrew Carnegie became one of the richest people in the world by modernizing steel production in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, where the Monongahela River joins the Ohio River. It’s only about two hours from our home in Cleveland and where my college roommate lives, so we regularly visit several times each year. Pittsburgh is known for its steel production, bridges and sports teams. Thank you to the Carnegie Science Center, the National Aviary, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Duquesne Incline, the Senator John Heinz History Center, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, The Frick Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium for providing complimentary tickets for my family and to the Drury Inn for hosting our stay.
