Lantern Tour
I must admit I had never heard about Depreciation Lands Museum until I began researching family fun activities for this weekend. But it looks like a neat place. It’s a living history museum located in Allison Park featuring costumed demonstrators every Sunday afternoon. The museum site includes the Pine Creek Covenanter Church, built in 1837, [...]
Pittsburgh Symphony For Less
I apologize for the lateness of this post, but my family fun activity for this weekend is this evening, October 15. Those of you who don’t have anything scheduled might want to take activity of this special opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony for only ten dollars! Kids and teens are free and seniors and [...]
Point Breeze Bonfire
Tomorrow night from 4 to 8 PM is the annual Point Breeze Bonfire. For those of you in the area who have not previously attended this event, you should definitely give it a try. It is a great family friendly evening and a perfect way to herald in the fall season. Held on the field [...]
Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival
For those of you celebrating Yom Kippur, I wish you an easy fast and a happy new year. If you are looking for something to do tomorrow, however, please consider attending the Pittsburgh Dragon Boat Festival and then please tell me all about it! I must confess I have never attended this festival but it sounds [...]
Go Steelers!!!
It was a no brainer to pick a family fun activity for this weekend because it’s the Steelers home opener! The Steelers kick off their 2010 regular season against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday at 1 PM. If you have tickets to the game, congratulations! If not, it is a great excuse to take a [...]
Not Gaga for Gaga?
Lady Gaga is headed to the Burgh this weekend. My son, for one, would love to be in attendance but that’s just not happening. For those of you out there who are not so gaga for Lady Gaga or for those who are gaga but couldn’t score tickets, what other musical entertainment is out there? [...]
Let’s Venture Outdoors (& Beer)
We are very lucky in Pittsburgh to have the organization, Venture Outdoors. They are a non profit devoted to providing Pittsburghers with the opportunity to get outside and get active. As we head towards the end of summer, my recommended family fun outing for this weekend is Venture Outdoor’s last Family Outdoor Festival. It’s a [...]
Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival
As some of you may know, I spent last week in the mountains of Colorado. Among other adventures, I horseback rode bareback for the first time! (I am finally walking without pain today). In keeping with the horsey theme, this weekend’s recommended family fun activity in Pittsburgh is a visit to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. [...]
Paddle Pittsburgh
I’m heading off to Colorado on Saturday with my family for a week of outdoor adventure. For that reason, I’m focusing this week’s blog on an outdoor adventure available right here in the city of Pittsburgh. Kayak Pittsburgh, a project of Venture Outdoors, makes flat-water kayaks (longer and more stable than whitewater kayaks) available for [...]
Pick Pittsburgh
My family fun tip for this weekend is actually good for any summer day while supplies last. No I am not talking about shopping for silly bands. I’m talking about fresh fruit and flowers. Last summer my family had a blast at Simmons Farm picking strawberries and cutting our own flowers. The strawberries were delicious [...]
