There is a kids area. The problem will be the adults wanting to roam around while the kids play in the kids area (which is on the small side for such a large museum). I would think really curious kids would enjoy seeing the dinos and stuffed critters as well.

It's only 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic.

There also is a special $2.00 per person admission for ACCESS card holders up to 4 people per card.

didnt see any taxies around. Uber you can. there are also many buses right in front of it. check maps to see how to get to your hotel. PIT public transport is a great way to see town! take bus from museum to waterfront (D bus), long and beautiful ride, and much shopping at waterfront. DSW, and more

My highlight is always the dinosaurs and the gem stone area. I could spend all day just in those 2 sections. Also the Inuit section on the top floor is a favorite for me as well. They also have an area where children can explore and be hands on with different things relating to wildlife etc. which I would think would be very exciting for young people.

Hello, I am not sure, sorry but I think if you are in the same side of Pittsburgh you can walk, it is interesting. Have a nice trip! from Ottawa

You could walk through all day and still not see everything. I've been there several times

There is a parking garage adjacent to the museum, several other parking garages only a few blocks away in three different directions, and on-street parking (although this is less reliable, since the museum is located in a busy Pittsburgh neighborhood that is sometimes known as "second Downtown."
