Celebrate Earth Month with Recycle Fest at Children's Museum

April 5, 2025

In honor of Earth Month, join The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh for a campus-wide recycling festival!

Aluminum Can Drive
Help us get more aluminum  recycled in our community by donating empty aluminum cans to our drive. All donors receive one free admission per family of four, good for admission on April 5, 2025.

Aluminum cans are 100% recyclable and when recycled, the metal in an aluminum can will be back on store shelves in just 60 days.
