Petersen Events Center
3719 Terrace Street
Pittsburgh, PA 15261
(412) 648-3054
map | website | comment

The Petersen Events Center is the place to watch college basketball — the Pitt Panthers rock! — and there's also a tour of the facility that's remarkably impressive. If you have older grandchildren who may be looking at college, consider a trip to the University of Pittsburgh campus and include a tour of the Petersen and the Baierl Basketball Complex. It will certainly entertain them — and might change their lives.

Info: Varies with event

Hours: Vary with event; tours: Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm; must be scheduled in advance

Age: Elementary (5-9), Tween (9-12), Teen (12+)
