The Carnegie Science Center is an interactive science museum on Pittsburgh's North Shore, set along the Ohio River in Pennsylvania. It is often called CSC, and it suits families, school groups and anyone who likes to learn by doing rather than only by reading panels.
What you can do there
- Hands-on exhibits that invite you to try experiments and see scientific ideas work in front of you.
- An IMAX theater for films shown on a large screen.
- USS Requin submarine tours, which give you a close look at a real submarine moored at the center.
Planning your visit
The museum's address is One Allegheny Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15212. You can reach the center by phone at +1-412-237-3400 to check current details before you go, since the facts available here do not cover opening hours, admission or showtimes.
Because the center sits on the North Shore, it pairs well with a walk along the river and the other attractions in that part of the city. Plan for a half day or more, especially if you want to include the submarine and a film in the IMAX theater.
