As Pittsburgh slowly opens up, we’re excited by the recreational alternatives launching in new, safe ways.

Take a river cruise, sip an ice ball or learn more about the creatures in your backyard.

These options will entertain every kind of kid.   

This week is full of challenges, inspiration and creative ways to move outside (safely).
