Easy Family Fun — Just a Short Drive from Pittsburgh
Looking for fun, affordable things to do with the kids—without fighting city traffic or paying big-city prices? Just a short drive from Pittsburgh, The Palace Theatre in Greensburg offers unforgettable family entertainment in one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful historic theatres.
Getting here is easy, parking is simple, and once you arrive, everything is within walking distance. A parking garage sits directly across the street, while downtown's metered spaces and surface lots are free on weekends, making your visit as stress-free as it is memorable.
This season, we're bringing three incredible family experiences to our historic stage.
The Canine Stars
As seen on America's Got Talent, Nickelodeon's Unleashed, and Stupid Pet Tricks with Sarah Silverman, the Canine Stars deliver an action-packed show featuring amazing, rescued stunt dogs performing jaw-dropping tricks, dock diving, agility, frisbee routines, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Better yet, this special performance celebrates our 100th Anniversary by recreating the very first live attraction ever presented when The Palace Theatre opened in 1926—a spectacular stunt dog show. It's an unforgettable combination of incredible entertainment, inspiring rescue stories, and Palace Theatre history the whole family will love. Tickets start at $23 (plus taxes and fees).
