NOTE TO PITT, CMU, CARLOW AND LA ROCHE STUDENTS
Students of University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Carlow University and La Roche University may now visit Phipps during our normal business hours without prior booking. Please have your student ID ready when you approach the admissions desk. Please note that Pitt and La Roche students only receive free student tickets during the Fall and Spring semesters. Large groups will be asked to break into smaller groups to maintain a safe crowd flow. Phipps will not honor these ticket benefits at universities where and when shelter-in-place orders are in effect.
