I had planned to spend about 90 minutes there with an active almost 4 year old boy. We spent at least one hour on the first floor alone before we went to the 2nd floor. Never made it to the 3rd floor at all where they have water features because the museum closed. Next time I'll start on the top floor and work my way down. Allow 2-3 hours depending on the age of the children.

There are 3 lvls that have elevator access.

There is a kids area. The problem will be the adults wanting to roam around while the kids play in the kids area (which is on the small side for such a large museum). I would think really curious kids would enjoy seeing the dinos and stuffed critters as well.

It's only 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic.

There also is a special $2.00 per person admission for ACCESS card holders up to 4 people per card.

didnt see any taxies around. Uber you can. there are also many buses right in front of it. check maps to see how to get to your hotel. PIT public transport is a great way to see town! take bus from museum to waterfront (D bus), long and beautiful ride, and much shopping at waterfront. DSW, and more

My highlight is always the dinosaurs and the gem stone area. I could spend all day just in those 2 sections. Also the Inuit section on the top floor is a favorite for me as well. They also have an area where children can explore and be hands on with different things relating to wildlife etc. which I would think would be very exciting for young people.

Hello, I am not sure, sorry but I think if you are in the same side of Pittsburgh you can walk, it is interesting. Have a nice trip! from Ottawa

You could walk through all day and still not see everything. I've been there several times
