What “must see” places would you recommend in the Pittsburgh area?

This year, Kidsburgh is partnering with our friends at SLB Radio to create a podcast. Along with interviewing fascinating people and sharing all kinds of parenting-related ideas and advice, we’re planning to talk about the best places to visit in the Pittsburgh area.

Everyone knows about the famous spots — places like the Heinz History Center and the view from Mt. Washington — where you can bring out-of-town visitors or spend a few hours with your kids.

Instead of talking about those obvious places, we’re going to put a spotlight on the best kept secrets — the tiny neighborhood with an incredible bakery that’s perfect for a Saturday afternoon stroll, or the little-known historic spot where kids can learn about Pittsburgh’s past, or the particular set of outdoor “Pittsburgh stairs” that are perfect as a slow, epic climb for the whole family.

Here’s where you come in: Tell us about the places you would include in our “Must-See Pittsburgh” podcast segments. It doesn’t have to be in the city. It can be anywhere in the greater Pittsburgh region.

If you grew up here, maybe it’s a place you loved going as a kid. Or maybe it’s the spot you always take folks who visit from out of town or a place you discovered once you had kids of your own. It could be a unique place to have kids’ birthday parties that parents might not know about or a pleasantly kid-friendly restaurant that doesn’t serve the typical kid-friendly food.

Whatever it might be, we’d love to hear about it. And we’re glad to give you a shout-out on our podcast (or keep you anonymous — up to you!), if we use your suggestion.
