Anyone familiar with Pittsburgh?

This weekend my H and I are going to a wedding, it's about an hour and 15 minutes from Pittsburgh, kind of out in the country with not much to do.  We will probably arrive by 2pm tomorrow and the wedding isn't until 4:30 the next day.  I am trying to figure out if it would be worth it to drive into Pittsburgh to sightsee/whatever since we will have a lot of free time.  Does anyone have any recommendations for the area? Thanks!

I think HoneySpider might be a good resource.

Just out of curiosity, are you going to be near Ohiopyle, PA? (I swear I'm not making this up....real place!)

The Carnegie Natural History Museum is always fun. Depending on which direction you are outside of Pittsburgh, Frank Lloyd's Fallingwater may be close enough for you to visit.

I got engaged at Fallingwater

Driving in downtown Pittsburgh is a bit of a nightmare. If you have a GPS, that would definitely help. I only went once, but there are some areas near the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon that are good for walking, with lots of restaurants around.

@mrsmb and ewall it looks like Fallingwater is an hour away.  We could definitely drive that far, would you say it's worth it?

It's really impressive to look at Let me know if you decide to go...

Ahh mac08 I'm sorry I'm just seeing this now. I hope you had fun in Pittsburgh! It's great city.

Thanks HoneySpider! We ended up just staying in the small town where the wedding was held.  My H is a big penguins hockey fan, so he wants to go back at some point to Pittsburgh itself to see a game.  

@mrsmb we did not end up going to Fallingwater either... After driving 7 hours to our hotel we just wanted to stay local instead of driving another hour.  But it looks beautiful, maybe someday!
