School’s out! It’s so easy to lay on the couch and let the summer pass you by. But it’s time to get up, head out, and enjoy the ‘Burgh! Not only is Pittsburgh home to the Stanley Cup this summer, it’s also full of summer activities to try out. With so many options to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. For some extra help, we have come up with a list of things to put on your calendar so that you can show off your gorgeous smile!
1. Kennywood-
Whether you get a season pass, a one day ticket, or a night rider pass, Kennywood is always a good idea! Start the day off with a ride on the Sky Rocket. You can throw your arms up and say cheese as you show off your brand new smile for the roller coaster photo. At lunchtime eat at the Potato Patch, of course! You can even pair it with some gummies and sweets to enjoy since you don’t have braces anymore. End the night with a relaxing ride on the swings in Lost Kennywood.
2. Ducky Tours-
Explore the city like you never have before! The Just Ducky Tour goes through, not only the streets of downtown but also travels through the famous three rivers of Pittsburgh. It is the perfect activity for the family to enjoy and get some photos along the way.
3. Farmer’s Markets-
Sometimes you really just need a day to relax, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay at home. Head to one of the many Farmer’s Markets in Pittsburgh and pick up some fresh produce to add to dinner tonight. You may even run into some of your neighbors to show off your awesome new smile!
4. Movies in the Park-
Enjoy the warm summer nights at a movie in the park. It is a free and fun nighttime activity that’s a perfect excuse to catch up with your friends from school…just make sure to remind them you got your braces off so they recognize you!
5. Water Fun-
Keeping cool during the summer in Pittsburgh is sometimes tough but there’s no need to frown! We’ve got you covered. Head to the sidewalk fountains in either Southside Works or Market Square to beat the heat. If you want a view while you cool off, try the North Shore water steps. Last but not least, try out the ‘Cloud Arbor’ near the Children’s Museum. You can enjoy the cloud as you learn about science.
