Snow days are still some of the best winter days, even if we’re adults. When the snow comes down, we have a couple of choices. We can curl up under blankets, read a good book, or binge-watch our favorite shows. Or, we can bundle up for a day of sled riding in Pittsburgh. We have quite a few awesome hills that promise a ton of winter fun.
Bundle up for an unforgettable day of sledding at Schenley Park. You won’t find a better place for sled riding, especially after a fresh snowfall, than Flagstaff Hill. There’s plenty of room to spread out, even if the hill is crowded. Here’s the official website of Schenley Park.
Zip down the snow tubing hill for as many runs as you can fit in during the two-hour sessions at Boyce Park. The popular skiing destination welcomes snow tubers through mid-March, which gives you plenty of time to get in some winter fun. Sessions are limited to just 50 people, due to the pandemic. Purchase tickets.
