Enjoy Pittsburgh CLO-quality entertainment all year long. Come by the intimate 250-seat Theatre Square complex on Penn Avenue to witness Cabaret at Theater Square every Tuesday through Saturday evening. Eat and drink while a variety of talented singers, bands, magicians, puppeteers, comedians and specialty acts of all kinds entertain you.

See the stars, or at least a place where they study the stars, at the University of Pittsburgh’s Allegheny Observatory. This national historic landmark has been a vital part of American astronomical research since 1859. Nowadays, the Allegheny Observatory is open to free public tours from April until the end of October.

Have your breath taken away as you travel up the Duquesne Incline. Once the main mode of transportation for Pittsburghers to get up the incredibly steep hills, nowadays the historic funicular takes guests up to the top of Mt. Washington for the best view of downtown. Children will get a kick out of the authentic car, the old photographs and artifacts in the upper station, and the ride up and down the mountain.
