Best place to stay near Falling Water (PA)?

[Anonymous]

We're going to see Falling Water this spring/summer with our 7 and 8 yos. Can you recommend a nice place for us?

Fallingwater is not a multi-day excursion. I’d stay at Deep Creek for more kids activities and take an afternoon to drive there and back.

Stay in Pittsburgh and do an out-and-back

I agree or if you want to go to Nemacolin, see Falling Water either before check in or after check out. But Nemacolin has gotten very pricey.

I hope you build in some activities for the kids on that trip, OP. The tour is not particularly kid-friendly.

Falling Water is perhaps an hour from Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has some great museums, etc. for kids. Falling Water is wonderful, but it is by tour only, and I cannot imagine children the ages of yours tolerating it.

I recently did this trip and stayed in Johnstown. I think it was a Hampton Inn. It was fine.

Johnstown, Somerset, Ligonier
You could make it multi-day by combining with Idlewild Park. Or just go to Pittsburgh.

Plenty to do around there. Ohiopyle State Park has many fun and wonderful things.

If you're the camping type, stay at Ohiopyle. If you want something fancier, Seven Springs or Omni Springs

Omni springs looks nice. Or Nemacolin. We're going to Deep Creek for the day, driving an hour to Falling Water, sleep the night, do the FW tour and go home. The kids begged to go because they did the FW lego kit with their architect uncle and are obsessed with cantilevers now. Kids are weird.

It's one word: Fallingwater.

Also consider Kentuck Knob.

I want to emphasize what other have said -- those sites are not friendly for small children.

We did Kentuck Knob when my kids were that young by taking turns: my wife took the tour while I played with the kids, then we switched.

What do you want me to say? Speech to text didn't make it one word. And my kids are better behaved than yours?

Hi honey! Visiting kids to Kentuck Knob could walk uphill to the weird sculpture "garden" (it's a field) and maybe have some fun running around it. They had a British telephone booth up there as well as near the gift shop. (Don't suppose OP's kids are also Dr. Who fans?)

If going full-on intellectual definitely take the kids to Pittsburgh to the Andy Warhol museum!

Yo. After all this time we've finally posted in the same thread.

Stay at Nemacolin! We stayed there for our Fallingwater visit. I seem to recall a fallingwater-themed option there called Falling Rock, which was lovely.
