I was going to suggest the North Shore and the Strip. You can see the stadiums and Mister Rogers monument, as well as the Science Center and the Warhol museum, on the North Shore. The walk along the river can be pretty nice depending on the weather.

In the Strip, you can check out Eide's (only of you're into things like comic books and records), the History Museum, and all of the shops (including a candy store). You might want to look into Coop de Ville for a bite to eat. The kids may like it there.

I'd also recommend stopping at the Point downtown. It's an easy walk across the bridge from the North Shore.

I read the strip stores close early, is this true?

It depends on the store. Some of them, like Penn Mac, close at 4:00 and I think Wholey's closes at 5:00. Grandpa Joe's Candy is open until 7:00, though.

Eide's, which is in the Strip not far from the History Museum, is open until 6:30.
