If you’ve traveled through Pittsburgh International Airport while raising kids or visited the airport during your own childhood, you probably spent some time at Kidsport, the play area that opened in 1983.

The new play space is located closer to the center of the departures terminal for easier access. It was designed with feedback from parents and is ideal for kids ages 6 to 10, though younger and older kids may want to check it out, as well.
