3 weeks agoThis was INCREDIBLE! This was my first time visiting and coming from out of state. I really enjoyed my time here. After 4.5 hours I was too tired to continue, but there was plenty more I could have looked at! The ticket includes the history and art museum, which is just wonderful. It is such a good price for so much to see. I adore dinosaurs and fossils, and that was a big draw for me to visit. This really did not disappoint; it was fascinating to see so many fossils while learning about the history of finding them and how some made it to Pittsburgh, such as with Carnegie, but then also specific information on the dinosaurs themselves. Besides this, there were many other wonderful sections ranging from Ice Age, the rise of mammals, gems and rock formations, and much more. It was so cool to see the conservation projects they are currently working on! I could just go on and on. An overall pleasant and wonderful experience - highly recommend.

a week agoWhat is there to say? This has got to be 1 of the biggest museums I have ever come to. It's definitely a sight to see. They have 3 floors and over 6 exhibits. My high school friend and I decided to check it out. I walked in, and I was just amazed by the exhibits. We tried to get all of them but only missed 2. We will be back. All I can say is that the paleontology exhibit with dinosaurs was my favorite! Come check it out! I know I'll be back!

2 months agoIt is a truly enjoyable experience for all ages when you visit this awesome Carnegie Museum of Natural History! The whole building has a lot to offer.. Ranging from art gallery, dinosaur exhibit, natural history with cool animals from all over the world, minerals, gems, and stones from all over the world as well, and more! You can even have a guided tour for more in-depth information! Lots of cool, real artifacts that you can find here.. The souvenir shop is neat and has decent prices for each item. I recommend this place for everyone. Learning history, in my opinion, is a must!

2 months agoThere is a parking garage 3 minute walk from the museum and plenty of street parking (parking meter). The entrance is currently by the water fountain entrance. Everything seemed clean, very informative and organized especially with a map. The staff was friendly and very helpful with any questions. I will definitely be back to explore again with so much to see with 3 floors. ...I would love to see your reactions to my review and pics to help me improve on my next adventure 💕

a month agoThis museum is huge! There's so much to see. Over 2 miles of walking on 4 floors, and we still didn't see everything. Make sure you have a decent amount of time to dedicate to this impressive place. There's everything from entomology to geology. My only question was about the preservation of some of the animals. The taxidermy is ... unique.
