This is an amazing gem of a museum near Penn Circle in Pittsbugh. The best part of it - most of it is free!

You can tour the art museum, the carriage house and the ground for free. The house tour costs extra money, but I have found my children are quite happy to do just the free activities.

The Frick also offers outstanding educational programs for groups of 10 to 35 students. The one we have done is the Join the Guild: Late Medieval to Early Renaissance ($5/student). After doing a guided tour of Medieval Art within their museum, the guide will then take you to their educational building where the children make a stained glass (plastic but still lovely) piece to take home. It was outstanding!

I have not tried it yet, but the first Saturday morning of every month is FrickKids. It's a free program for children aged 4 to 8 that includes a tour and a take-home project.
