For something the whole family—or team—will enjoy, head over to Kennywood Park. This traditional amusement park has been around since 1898, and features six roller coasters, a 14-ride Kiddieland and several other exciting attractions. Or you can get your thrills at Sand Castle Water Park, where visitors can splash around in the wave pool, float on a lazy river, or speed down one of 15 waterslides.
Combine education and entertainment at the Carnegie Science Center. It features four floors of interactive exhibits, where visitors can learn about the science behind robotics or travel back in time aboard the Cold War-era submarine.
