Mother’s Day is coming! Seriously, it’s not even two weeks away on May 14th, 2017. Are you ready?
Here are some free Mother’s Day events in Pittsburgh for all of you in the Steel City on a budget.
Free Mother’s Day Admission at the Zoo
Free admission for mom when she brings a paying child! We did this last year for Father’s Day (same deal, only for dads,) and had a great time. Oh, and also, your child can be grown. They don’t have to be a little one to earn you free admission!
Free Art Fun at CMOA
Head to the Carnegie Museum of Art on Mother’s Day to catch a fun, hands-on, family-oriented experience in the Scaife Gallery. If you’re a member, ARTventures is 100% free. If you’re not, you only have to pay the regular price of admission. Check out ways to get admission discounts at CMOA at the bottom of this post.
Wings Over Pittsburgh
It’s baaaaccckk!! For the first time in six years, you can check out the mad skills of the 911th Airmen Wing as they soar over our city’s skies. It’s free, and it’s happening the 13th and 14th–which is the Sunday of Mother’s Day.

Race for the Cure on Mother’s Day
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure happens on Mother’s Day. While this would require the work of either fundraising or helping out the day of the race by volunteering your time, it could be a meaningful gesture to your mother, especially if breast cancer has touched your lives in any way.

Free Admission to Hartwood Acres Mansion
Moms get a free tour of the mansion when another paying adult comes along on May 14, and if you feel like splurging, you can enjoy Mother’s Day tea for $33/each on May 13.

Free Photo Exhibition and Meet & Greet with Hannah Price
If you’re down with celebrating on Saturday, check out Hannah Price’s photo exhibition opening May 13th at East Liberty Presbyterian Church. While the exhibition will be free the entire month it’s there, if you go Saturday evening between 7p and 9p, you’ll be able to meet the artist herself. Price’s work focuses on social perceptions, race politics and relationships in general.

How will you be celebrating your mother? Or how do you hope to be celebrated yourself?
My mom lives in Michigan so I’m sending flowers and a card, but I’ll be “home” in June for two weeks so I’ll be able to spend time with her then. Happy Mother’s Day!
Aw, sweet! How do I not know which part of Michigan you’re from?
How nice! So where are your kids taking you for mothers day? =)
It’s a surprise! Or we just haven’t decided yet…too many options. :p
