Autumn provides the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll. After all, we’ve said goodbye to the heat and humidity of summer and haven’t yet approached the frigid cold of winter. Pair the cool temperatures of fall with the colorful landscape, and the stage is set for a delightful autumn adventure. Embrace tranquility as you admire the fall foliage in Pittsburgh at this sprawling garden.
Escape the noise of the city when you visit Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, a natural paradise only 20 minutes from downtown.
Even though you're still close to the city, you'll feel a million miles away as you make your way through the lush gardens painted in fall's vibrant colors.
Pittsburgh Botanic Garden offers something for everyone, from nature lovers to the kiddos. Carve out a minimum of two hours for your exploration. (Realistically, however, you could spend all day at the garden.)
Listen to the leaves crunch beneath your feet as you set off on one of the paths. (Wear comfy shoes as paths consist of concrete, grass, gravel, or wood chips.)
