Pittsburgh’s popular attractions are set to offer more than 100,000 free tickets this summer. The Allegheny Regional Asset District (RAD) announced that from May to August, over a dozen regional assets will have dates for free admission. All individuals need is an Allegheny County library card and a reservation to access the free admission. This is part of an expanded Summer Staycation program from RAD.
Last year, the Andy Warhol Museum, Children’s Museum, and Heinz History Center were open free of charge every operating day in August. RAD received feedback from many individuals who mentioned they would not have been able to afford to visit otherwise. RAD Board Chair Dan Griffin emphasized that regional assets should give back to taxpayers who fund these projects. The free admission dates will be available on RADPass.org starting May 1, with more offers being added throughout the summer. It is requested that individuals be considerate neighbors by canceling reservations if they can’t make it so that someone else can take advantage of the opportunity.
