ICYMI: Free Fun in PGH with Allegheny County Library Card! | RAD Summer Staycation 2024

In case you missed it, a new opportunity to experience some of the best attractions Pittsburgh has to offer… for FREE! All you need is a library card (also free!) from an Allegheny County library. We wanted to make sure all of our NHC friends know about this amazing news.

“This summer, an Allegheny County library card will give you access to far more than just books, periodicals, movies and library computers.

It also will give you access to the Summer Staycation 2024 RAD Pass — more than 100,000 free admissions to such attractions as the Pittsburgh Zoo & AquariumNational AviaryMattress FactoryHeinz History CenterChildren’s Museum and much, much more.

RAD is the Allegheny Regional Asset District, which supports many of Pittsburgh’s cultural amenities through special tax revenue.  

Here’s how the program will work: Ticket offers from local attractions will begin to appear on RADPass.org starting May 1. Free admission days start May 15 and run through the end of August, according to a release.”
