What a beautiful surprise this museum is. My family and I visited Harrisburg for the weekend and wanted a place to hang out with our kids. The museum has an area specific designed for toddlers and 6 under in the entrance where they can play around with crops, statued animals, and other things.

The whole facility has four floors with different exhibitions thoughtfully designed for users from toddlers to elderly people. Tons of incredible information and a learning center on the fourth floor for kids.

The only downside here in this place is the elevator access which a bit hidden from the public which could cause some accessibility issues.

I often go to the Asia Tea House when I’m in Oakland and want a fast food for lunch or dinner. It can’t be considered the best Asian restaurant in Pittsburgh but it has a quite honest cheap cost and quality. Since it’s only a small house where they cook everything, you order food and take it to eat at some of tables in Schenley Plaza. Depending on hours, you might have to wait 10-15 minutes in line to place an order.

I had already visited the other branch in Edgewood and was super happy with their structure. Decided to pay a visit to this one since it’s closer to our place. In cold days where it’s so difficult to go outside with little ones, Lil Bunny is a life saver. This one in Monroeville is particularly bigger than the one in Edgewood, with more space for kids and parents. Definitely will return.

The best beach for children on Presque Isle. Beach 11 is completely flat which makes it good for kids to run and play with toys. When we visited, it was out of the swimming season and end of summer. However, it was still perfect for a day at the beach.

If you’re looking for great deals like the big outlets in the US, Las Plazas Outlet will let you down. It might be a bit cheaper for locals to shop here, but you can find better deals in the US. Other than that, they have great stores with an open air complex. For children, there’s a paid playground close to the food court.
