Things to do in the North Hills of Pittsburgh

(updated 7/2023)

One of the principles I stick to as a parent is that it’s not my responsibility to entertain a child or save them from boredom. I will, however, take them places for fun and adventures. Here in the North Hills, we have libraries, indoor amusement centers, carpet slide parks, miniature golf spots, and so much more. I’ve put together a list of places that are kid-friendly and in the North Hills area (Ross, West View, Bellevue, Avalon, McCandless, Wexford, Pine, Hampton, Shaler, and Glenshaw)
