Kelsey Kern & Patrick Gallagher
Things To Do
Carnegie Museum of Natural History
With dinosaur, human, animal, and bug installations, there's something for everyone. Kelsey also worked as a docent here in high school- it's her favorite museum in Pittsburgh!
Strip District
Great restaurants*, stores, food markets, and enough Pittsburgh sports merchandise to impress even the biggest Clevelander! *Make sure to grab a true Pittsburgh classic- the Primanti's sandwich- while you're there; it's one of Patrick's favorite foods in the city!
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is one of only six major zoo and aquarium combinations in the United States. Located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Highland Park, the zoo sits on 77 acres of park land where it exhibits more than 4,000 animals representing 475 species, including 20 threatened or endangered species.
Mattress Factory Museum
A funky contemporary art museum with multiple buildings, and right down the street from Randyland, a colorful walkthrough home art installation, both located in the historic Mexican War Streets. Good if you want some culture and to stretch your legs!
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
If you love plants as much as we do, you'll love Phipps! Multiple rooms and outdoor grounds full of different plants, Chihuly glass sculptures, and rotating exhibits, it's a great way to kill some time. And afterward you can walk to Pitt's main campus in Oakland and hit up some of Kelsey's college favorites, including Hemmingway's Cafe for shot pitchers, Fuel and Fuddle for skinny dip, and look at the nationality rooms in the Cathedral of Learning!
