When my son was younger, a visit to the Carnegie Science Center was more like a mad dash though the exhibits. You can take your time to explore when it's an all adult excursion. The Carnegie Science Center has so much to absorb and stimulate new knowledge even for us older folks: Sky Watch, lectures, 21+ Nights (Day 217), the Rangos Giant Theater (Day 277) and traveling exhibits. Recently, my father and I climbed aboard during the Science Center’s train weekend.
Pittsburgh joins, Chicago, New York, Nashville and Los Angles, with a club dedicated solely to the art of magic. Liberty Magic, located in the same block that Houdini mesmerized Pittsburgh audiences in 1916, pays homage to his famous Chinese Water Torture Cell illusion in the lobby. At Liberty Magic you are just feet away from famous magicians from all over the world as cards fly, coins appear and vanish, and minds are read. It’s a place to be dazzled by things seen and unseen.
