Your ticket is good for two days and you will need it. The large museum is well set up. Lots to see from Indigenous history to the innovations that make Pittsburgh a world leader on many things from sports or science.

Attended Hometown Homegrown for our first visit since moving to Pittsburgh. The event was really crowded and not as fun as I had hoped, however, the museum was not gm crowded and was an overall great experience. We intentionally doesn't explore the entire place so we could leave more to discover on our next visit.

Our hotel was conveniently located just two blocks from here!!! We really enjoyed the local history - highlights were the sports history - especially since we are Steelers fans and the Mr Rogers area. There is something for everyone here! You could spend the day or spend a couple hours. Would definitely recommend !

What an amazing museum! First of all, children are free. Isn't that the way it should be? Next, the museum is put together so well with interests all in one area so if you want a certain thing you can just go there and not have to filter through everything. And last, but certainly not least, if your are a Pittsburgh Sports Fan this place is for you! Wow! Reliving the moments was great. Absolute must if you are visiting Pittsburgh.

A fabulous museum! I’m a visitor from the U.K. on my way to Punxsutawney for the Groundhog Day. Had half a day and came to this amazing place. Learned so much about Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania as a whole. Fun things for children and the displays are out of this world.

I greatly appreciated all of the history presented throughout this museum and look forward to going back. It can easily be a few hours. I toured middle of week with low attendance which was superb as I was able to really spend time at some exhibits reading and looking over. I spent 2 hours there and 6 floors of artifacts, historical reviews and stories was not nearly enough time. The cafe was decent enough. The gift shop was quite nice with wide variety of items. This is a great option to take your young kids as well with some highly interactive areas. I enjoyed the history of Pittsburgh and spend a lot of my time on that floor. It was fascinating to go through the time periods. Look forward to my next visit and seeing the women exhibit they are working on.

WOW! This is one of the most in-depth museums I've been to. An incredible tribute to the city's history as an industry and cultural capital. Prepare to keep yourself moving through the museum, as you can get fatigue quickly with information overload. I am personally a sports fan, so I spent the most time on that floor but there is just so much here. Friendly staff and well priced. I would dedicate half a day here.

One could truly spend an entire day here! Make sure you start at the top. If you don't want to take the stairs up to the top floor at least take the stairs down (if you are able). There is snipits of great information on the stairwells. AND if you take a paper and have it stamped on each floor you get a little gift from the gift shop ('Little' so don't get too excited). But it's still fun to do. This history center is great for history buffs and sports fans AND fabulous for people who love trivia.

What a great museum and site. It is so much to take in but we'll worth the visit. Never dreamed that Western PA contributed so much in so many areas. Quite remarkable. As a life long Steelers fan I loved those exhibits but the Mr Roger's area was so cool. The exhibition on slavery was powerful. Lewis and Clark...etc. very nice staff working this site. My sons who are 15 and 16 enjoyed it.

A wonderful history museum. Even more enjoyable than I thought it would be. They've got Nelly Bly's famous gladstone bag (which she took on her 'round the world voyage). And quite a good exhibit on Pennsylvania sports, if you into that sort of thing.
