Lloyd Duvall, Jr.April 4, 2016We love this place. It's like a museum, but just a little smaller. Plenty of history of the area, sports memorabilia, and Pittsburgh Spirit!
- visitPAMarch 30, 2015Throw a perfect pass or drive a motorboat at the Heinz History Center. The western PA sports museum honors Pittsburgh’s sports heritage in the largest history museum across Pennsylvania.
The cafe has surprisingly great food. Red pepper Gouda soup (AMAZING) every Friday, wraps and paninis are delicious. Try the energy stir smoothie on your way out. Service is very friendly as well.
Travis TindellSeptember 20, 2017This is really an incredible museum. Could spend all day in here. Very interesting and well done.
Gina Estelle WinsteadDecember 29, 2012Give yourself at least an hour per floor and wear comfortable shoes. Everybody should visit here at least once but it's worth buying the membership!
Dar NMarch 1, 2013Former ice storage building re-purposed as a museum of Western PA artifacts. Houses a Sports Museum. Displays commemorate Fred Rodgers,Jonas Salk, Westinghouse, Pgh Steelers, George Romero, archives.- Erin KellyFebruary 13, 2012Great place to take kids. A lot of interactive exhibits. The sports museum is also a must see for the Pittsburgh sports fans!
LindseyJuly 1, 2016Definitely worth the price, lots to see, you must visit the Heinz ketchup exhibit
Lauren BatesOctober 19, 2022A cool little Smithsonian museum that deserves more than one visit. The prices in the cafe are very reasonable.
MixStirs CafeJanuary 30, 2013Come visit us at MixStirs Cafe located inside the museum; we have daily soup specials, smoothies, hot dogs, paninis, sandwiches and more!
Michee LeeJuly 2, 2011Collect a stamp from each floor (located by the elevator) and get a free pickle or ketchup Heinz pin :)
Amazing exhibits and always something interesting to see!
Make sure to check out the Stars and Stripes exhibit. Innovators on the 2nd floor is pretty amazing too.
Check out the new exhibit Pixburgh for a history of photograph in the PIttsburgh area.
Jason T.May 28, 2010Simply amazing. Im a war history kinda person and this place had alot of it. Plus u get to see Pgh as it was back in the day and how it helped pioneer America towards what it is today
John CreightonSeptember 29, 2010Great exhibit on history of Pittsburgh, including video on "Pittsburghese", explaining some of my dad's weird language like "warsh the car" or "redd up your room"!
Plan plenty of time. And try a chocolate covered pickle on the way out.
lino brescia™May 23, 2017Maz uni and bat. Mr Rogers and king Friday make this a worthy trip. If you like the Steelers it's a must. A tad pricey should be like ten bucks
Did you know that the big Mac was founded in PA, as well as the zipper and the mr. Yuck logo
