👨👧👦 The Story Behind PGH.Kids
PGH.Kids was created by a Pittsburgh dad who had lived in the city for over a decade and raised his kids here. He knew the city well — the neighborhoods, the parks, the libraries, the museums — but still found himself spending too much time every week hunting for things to do with his children.
Family events in Pittsburgh are scattered across library websites, Facebook groups, museum calendars, neighborhood apps, and community center bulletin boards. Getting a complete picture requires checking a dozen different sources. So he built one place to find it all — pulling together events from across the region, updated daily, with no fluff.
That's how PGH.Kids was born. It started as a private tool for one family and their friends. It grew into something the whole city could use.
