Testimonials
Here is what clients have said after hosting their event at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh:



"It was a beautiful space for a wedding and everyone was happy - the kids had their own areas and enjoyed themselves thoroughly - so of course the parents enjoyed themselves too!"

"It was the perfect wedding space - we could not have asked for a better space to celebrate our families coming together. We were in the studio, which is a very unique space that offered something for everyone. After all the spaces we looked at - this was the one that spoke to us the most."

"The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh was the perfect spot for our classic, yet whimsical, wedding reception. The staff were accommodating and easy to work with throughout the entire palnning process. I wholeheartedly recommend the museum to any bride looking for a unique and affordable venue"
