Jack Rabbit
Roller coaster
👍👍 100 years old, and the Jackrabbit is still the most comfortable wooden roller coaster I have ever ridden. Seriously I could Lounge on this thing as it Loops the track non-stop for days. It's rare to find something so thrilling that doesn't rattle you hard enough to make your vision go blurry. An abs...

Thunderbolt
Roller coaster
👍👍 This is the marquee ride at Kennywood. This vaunted coaster is on most enthusiasts must-ride lists. It's famous for being one of the coasters to set off the great coaster revival in the late 1960s. The coaster is built into a ravine and uses part of a previous coaster.
The ride experience is someth...

Carrie Furnace Tour
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Industrial tour was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had an incredibly knowledgeable guide, Richard, who shared his knowledge and personal experiences of the Carrie furnace and steel production in general. I recommend this tour if you have interest in industrial tours or Pittsburgh...

Rose Garden at McKeesport Garden Club
Botanical garden
👍👍 Truly breath-taking. A place to rest one's eyes on great beauty and bring peace to one's mind. Always fun and exciting things to do once you become a member and a way to exercise should you volunteer to work in the garden. The second largest rose garden in Pennsylvania.

Dead Man's Hollow Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍 The good: Lots of trails. We parked at Boston Ball Field, walked the GAP trail to the hollow and walked pretty much every main trail there. My Garmin watch logged ~10 miles. Didn't see a single other person until we were walking out. Very secluded.
The bad: Trails aren't well marked and there are a...

Renziehausen Park
Park
👍👍 I want to thank the folks who also have reactive dogs. And don't come into the dog park when Sadie and I are there. I know it sounds selfish but sometimes she needs to walk off lease and out of her middle. Thanks again.

West Mifflin Park
Park
😠 It has been closed for the last 10 days without any sign or explanation. Having extremely nice weathers and the park is closed, total nonsense. Even if it was snowing or raining the park should be open. I knew it from the renewal of the basketball court taking more than 2 weeks end of summer that t...

Pleasant Hills Arboretum
Arboretum
👍👍 This place will always be dear to my heart. It's a wonderful place in the middle of Pleasant Hills when you can take in nature. Sit on a bench and just listen to the birds. ❤️ You can have trees planted in memory of a loved one. Or put in a bench as a memorial to someone. Love it here❤️ if your luc...

Braddocks Trail Park
Park
👍👍 This place is GORGEOUS!! I love that it's tucked in at the end of a beautiful neighborhood. Yet, it seems so far removed. The energy of the park is calming, peaceful, & very serene. Trails aren't really marked. However, if you're a avid Hiker, You'll find Your way just fine. If you're just looking t...

Koch Park
Park
👍👍 Very nice, great toddler play structure as well as a play structure for older kids. Shaded in the morning with plenty of benches. Quiet and seems to only be used by respectful neighbors (not a hang out spot with smoking, etc). Parking is plentiful at the end of Atlantic.

George Westinghouse Bridge
Bridge
👍👍 240 feet high and over 1500 feet long, this bridge was built between 1929 and 1932. It is an historic engineering marvel. As others have stated, it is best viewed from below. A novel view I recently discovered is on the bike trail below Kennywood along the Mon River. The panoramic view of the Turtl...

McBride Park
Park
👍👍 I love mcbride park. I wish they would do something more with it though. Maybe a splash pad (for kids) where the basketball court used to be, because no one wants to go in the pool when it opens in the summer. It definitely needs updated, it's been 20 years since they have renovated it and the park...
