Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and adventure. And what better way to make the most of the season than by creating a summer bucket list? A summer bucket list is a list of things you want to do, see, and experience during the summer months. Macaroni KID Pittsburgh City has come up with a list of our favorite things to do with kids in the city of Pittsburgh, Northside, Lawrenceville, Oakland, Bloomfield, East Liberty, Highland Park, Larimer, Squirrel Hill, and Shadyside, and all the cities in between.
