Our trip to Pittsburgh was all about family fun, with a little bit of history thrown in. The Duquesne Incline was the perfect way to learn a bit more about the history of Pittsburgh while taking in beautiful views. This is a very affordable activity for families, even large families. The details in the building and in the trolley were so intricate, it was like stepping back in time.
I received passes to facilitate this post.
Take in the History of Pittsburgh at the Duquesne Incline
My young girls loved the trolley ride and the view as we rose above the city was beautiful. Once we arrived at the top, we were able to take a self-guided tour for $0.50/adult and our girls were free. This tour took us underneath the building where the motor and cables that pull the trolley up the hill were located. My girls and husband love to see how things work, and being able to do it at our own pace, without a guide gave us the option of ending our tour early if we wanted to.
Be sure to walk out to the viewing deck to get a great outside view of the city. The day we went, it was a bit rainy, but it was still absolutely beautiful.
