Where to push your stroller in Pittsburgh

Best places to opt for a baby or toddler in Pittsburgh

We asked some of our readers for their best ideas for outings, restaurants, and stroller walks for mommies kicking it on maternity leave in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Whether you’re checking out or live in town, we hope you love their ideas and will add your own in the comments.

Our guest excursion guide, Katy, is a true rookie mommy who just returned to work after spending her maternity leave with baby Miles. You might think Katy is absolutely confident considering that she’s letting me post a picture of her with a nursing bra strap showing, but she wrote that she has “never, ever felt a lot more lost or inadequate and concurrently awesome in my whole life.” She has embraced our “get out of the house” mentality and has supplied a suggestion for each weekday, must you find yourself in Pittsburgh with a little sidekick.

Head to Schenley Park

Schenley Park, the “green gem” of Pittsburgh, has something awesome to do no matter what the season or the age of your kiddo. the public pool is just $3 for kids in the summer, the ice-skating rink is also an option in the winter, and the Frisbee golf course always has flexible tee times. If the weather turns dreary (or even if it doesn’t), the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical gardens are a must-not-miss feature. The model train, hands-on children’s garden, and interactive water features keep older kids ecstatic while the fragrant, peaceful benches help mommies chillax.

Bonus: the Conservatory has lots of secluded nooks to give new nursing mommies some practice at the fine art of public breastfeeding. Afterward, get something yummy to eat in the local, organic cafe in the lobby (the smoothies are the bee’s knees).

Push your stroller around the Zoo

Spend the day at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. It nearly goes without saying that baby elephants and primate displays are a hit for pretty much everyone. The Pittsburgh Zoo has an added advantage of hilly terrain, so mommy gets a pretty intense workout pushing or toting kids up to the aquarium.

After everyone is tuckered out, hit up the refreshment stands in the zoo or even the Zebra station soft-serve stand with a great river view.

We love the National Aviary

Not sure what to make with a screeching baby? Take him to the national Aviary and let the squawking, hooting birds drown him out or maybe make him feel better! A running list of regularly scheduled educational shows/presentations will keep even repeat visitors interested and if you time your visit right, your little one might get to feed worms to the birds in the tropical rain forest. As an added bonus, the new penguin display lets you get up close and personal to the birds in gigantic plastic tubes, so even if you missed the emperor display at the zoo, you can still enjoy these waddlers go swimming.

After checking out the birds in the captive displays, you might want to ogle one of Pittsburgh’s lots of flocks of wild turkeys that meander up Mt. Washington. Take a ride on the Duquesne Incline for breathtaking views of the whole city while you keep one eye glued to the foliage for your turkey hunt. When you’re at the top, the complimentary “museum” lets kids stare at the cord car gears while mommies can check out historical photos of the days when Pittsburgh really was a gritty city. spend some time walking along Grandview Ave on Mt. Washington before you head back down.

Ísť na túru!

Hilly though the streets may be, Pittsburgh is a very walkable city. pick out a neighborhood and spend the day recreating one of the Pittsburgh urban Hikes. These scavenger hunts through various neighborhoods are complimentary and fun for the whole “team” even years after the original hikes. tackle the South Side and learn about the long-gone steel with mini-breaks at REI (free climbing wall for kiddos) or the Cheesecake Factory. If you’d rather eat than learn, head to the strip district and mange your way through Penn Ave (don’t miss the biscotti from Enrico’s + you must probably eat lunch there, too. The owner makes everything from the bread to the olive oil to the white wine himself!).

Carnegie science Center

The Carnegie science center could easily occupy curious little minds for an entire week. kids (and parents) can learn about dental care by climbing around a gigantic mouth or clear up into the Omnimax theater to enjoy marine life in 3D. The hands-down crowd favorite is the RoboWorld exhibit where real-life roboticists talk about their research and sports enthusiasts can square off to play basketball against a bot.

Baseball and river stroll

After all that stimulation, everyone will probably take pleasure in a kicking back afternoon strolling along the Allegheny River in North shore Riverfront Park. Take a load off near the water steps or enjoy the kayaks and barges glide past. If you sit there long enough andPiráti vyhrávajú, možno uvidíte nejaké ohňostroje po zotmení!

Detské múzeum
