Free parking in a gated lot and free entrance to the museum and working bike repair shop. Amazing collection of bicycles and other items in fantastic condition! We met the owner/collector Craig and enjoyed chatting about his fun "hobby" - nice guy and truley passionate about bikes. Great trip down memory lane and seeing unique items that just put a smile on your face. If you're looking for something different to do rain or shine, pop in and visit - make sure to go to second floor to see it all! Vending machine snacks available, a nail salon/masseuse on premise and restrooms. Our 1st time in Pittsburg - We did trifecta tour of Bicycle Heaven, Music museum next door, and Randyland nearby. Fun way to spend a few hours!

There were five of us that took on the Dr. Stein’s Laboratory. We solved all the very clever puzzles that kept us thinking. I can’t tell you much about the puzzles other than we escaped with 50 seconds to spare! Located in an old building, another reason why Pittsburgh Escape Room is notable. Special thanks to the staff who were engaging and put on the extra special touches ala mad scientist.

6. Duquesne Incline
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,216 reviews
Scale Mount Washington in one of two original 1877 cable cars for a fun and unique ride and a breathtaking view of the Pittsburgh skyline when you reach the top of the 400-foot incline. Parking available across the street from our lower station at 1197 West Carson Street.

Whether you love trains, living history, photography or just doing something different, riding Duquesne Incline is an inexpensive way to do all the above. The tram ride is smooth and fun. The historical cars and the stations are well preserved. At the top, go through the mini-tour and see how the cars move up and down the incline. While the scenery is great from the observation deck at the top, do yourself a favor and take a short walk to see the views at Point of View Park, which includes a sculpture about the city's history.

We had a blast at Escape the Room PA! The host was friendly and hilarious, the room was challenging (we won, just barely), and it was the perfect team building exercise. If I’m ever in Pittsburgh again, I’ll be returning here for a new challenge!

We recently took our two younger children on the behind the scenes tour. We took our 12 year old through the haunted house via RIP tickets the night before and we loved it. Our youngest isn’t quite as adventurous yet so we thought we would introduce her to the haunts behind the scenes. Scarehouse is the only local haunt for us that has this tour and it’s worth every penny. The guide “Duds” was great she was so full of information and was great with our kids. It was an informative tour that allowed us to see the make up room as well as a walk through the attraction itself. It was amazing to see the detail put into the haunts. More people should take advantage of this tour because it is definitely worth it and it gives customers a look into the dedication the staff puts into making the experience enjoyable and terrifying for its guest. We will be back next year!
