Which Incline to Ride and Where to Park?

Which incline is better and where should you park to walk to and ride it? What else is there to do around the incline with kids? Thanks.



Which Incline to Ride and Where to Park?


You can park at Station Square.





Take a ride on the Good Ship Lollipop, part of the Gateway Clipper Fleet.





Do chocolate fondue at the Melting Pot.





If you are coming in summer, and the weather cooperates, hang out at Bessemer Court and watch the fountain/light show.





Take the T over to town and go to Point State Park.





Anything else, let me know - hope that helped!

You can also catch the Incline right across from Station Square - which has loads of shopping and eating choices.




There is free parking directly across Carson Street from the base of the Duquesne Incline.

I like the Duquesne Incline a little better; there is a tacky little historical display up top that I find interesting. It is also closer to most of the restaurants, though it sounds like that won%26#39;t be a concern to you. There is a parking spot right below the incline off Carson Street, the main street running past Station Square. For the Mon, park anywhere in Station Square; you can%26#39;t miss the incline, it%26#39;s right across the street. Really you can%26#39;t go wrong with either.




I also vote for the Duquesne Incline - I think the view is a bit nicer and it has a display with old pictures and letters at the top. It%26#39;s easy to get to - there is a free incline parking lot at the very end of Station square (the end nearer the Point), then go up the stairs and across the pedestrian Bridge. You can always drive down to the other end of Station Square to do some exploring before or after.
