Our guides Matt and Sophie were wonderful. They reviewed the mechanics of kayaking including posture of straight torso with loss hips. They gave a safety briefing and made sure our life jackets were properly secured. And then we hit the water in time to enjoy the sunset. Their rental equipment (kayak boats, paddles, and life jackets) is in great condition. And for the night paddle, the kayaks were outfitted with glow stick lights (in addition to the required standard boat green/red lights). There was other River traffic but there was only one wake encountered during the whole two hours. I'm a beginner level kayaker and it was an easy paddle for just the right duration. Tip: if there are two of you together, I advise getting your own kayak so see more of each other and don't have to coordinate your strokes). There was a Pirates baseball game that night and it was cool to hear the roar of the crowd. The route that night also included The Point waterfall and the Science Center submarine. The only thing that could have made this outing better is if the Pirates had won and we could have watched the celebration fireworks from the water.

Review 200! Yeah! I was reserving this milestone review for somewhere special. I recently had a…read morepretty rocking birthday weekend full of wonderful places to fill this slot but I had to go with one that truly embodies my physical lifestyle, so naturally I had to choose Kayak Pittsburgh. Being a newbie I wasn't sure what to expect, other than I was pretty sure it was going to be awesome. The prices to rent are very affordable and definitely worth the experience. We didn't spend as much time on the river as we would have liked to, do to some upcoming reservations later in the day, but now that I have gotten a taste of it I am dead set on going back as much as I can. We started by heading up the river, but there are much more scenic views down river. Cruising down past the stadiums than over to the point to get a victorious picture of me hoisting my oar in front of the fountain. Such a wonderful way to see the city. Since we were on a tight schedule there wasn't much time for relaxing so it was basically nonstop paddling. This is a serious upper body workout. Heading back up the river was challenging at times, but still so much fun and a great workout! Can't wait to go back.

Smooth, fast and lots of air time. What more can you want from a coaster? This is my second…read morefavorite coaster in the park. There is an extremely long walk to actually board the coaster. I've never been there where we needed all that space (I can't imagine how long that wait would be). the entrance has automatic gates that open and close when the train is ready to be boarded. You put your belongings in the holder on the exit side and then get in the car. There are two restraint systems. One small standard seatbelt and one lap bar. The seats themselves are on the smaller side, but will still fit plus size riders. The ride itself is exhilarating. The climb up the first hill gives you great views of the park and area (I liked seeing the giraffe's head poking out of Noah's Ark). MAKE SURE TO NOT PULL OUT YOUR PHONE ON THE LIFT HILL. They are very clear and very serious about the rules and yet people still break them every day which makes the train stop on the lift hill. The one down side is that the exit is at a completely different area than the entrance, so make sure you know that if you are meeting non riders. A must ride if you love coasters.

Ranked #1 Roller Coaster by USA Today 2025! An exciting and…read moreexhilarating experience! Fun filled coaster enjoyed by all ages. Very smooth ride with twist and turns and loops for a great ride. Such a cool view of the park atop the highest point of the coaster. Highly recommended ride for thrill seekers. The line can be long at times but it's well worth the wait for the thrill it brings. A must ride while visiting Kennywood, don't go by, give it a try! Looking forward to the thrilling ride again soon!

The camp facility is amazing and is located on a beautiful, expansive piece of land. The program is very well run, from the orientation, to the open house, to the bus schedules, to the regular updates etc. The counselors have been so kind to my child, and reached out regularly to update us on how things are going at camp, and reached out again to check in after my kid was sick. My child has improved a lot in terms of swimming. We will be coming back in the years to come.

Our referees (shoutout Evan and Cole) did a great job of making sure everyone was set up and ready to go each round. Outside of the staff, the equipment that PPP supplies is great for beginners. We were able to each get a paintball gun, paintballs, and a mask for a decent price ($45) plus around 4 hours of gameplay. PPP offers 7 different arenas and we played 5 of them. Each one was well taken care of and provided a different type of experience. A variety of gameplay is available too. With over 20 different styles of play, we never had to play the same game twice. Overall, Pittsburgh Paintball Park is a great venue for any type of gathering and I would highly recommend!

But they continuously were throwing while we had to wait our turns to get to throw. Doesn't seem fair.
