There are shaded walkways, fragrant herb gardens, magnificent fountains and a Victorian steel and glass greenhouse that is home to tropical flowers, orchids, desert plants and a colorful butterfly forest. There are so many places that you can get down on one knee and pop the question, perhaps one of the most beautiful being the botanical gardens is the Tropical Forest Conservatory, filled with colorful plants – there are even gushing waterfalls to provide a wonderful backdrop for when your future spouse says “yes!”
Kennywood Amusement Park
If you or your partner is an adrenaline junkie and you would like a wedding proposal with a difference, then head to the Kennywood Amusement Park. This traditional amusement park has some great rides for thrill seekers.

It’s the only single-continuous track rollercoaster in America. Your wedding proposal can be memorable and fun at the same time.
On a River Cruise
The city of Pittsburgh was built around the convergence of three rivers, the Ohio, the Allegheny and the Monongahela. Taking a river cruise is one of the best ways to see the city, and together you can learn about the history of Pittsburgh and see all of the architectural sites from the water. You can book a dinner cruise for your wedding proposal, enjoying a delicious meal together under the twinkling lights of the city. The fourth of July, during the fireworks, would be a wonderful time to propose in Pittsburgh – a real celebration of love.
Pittsburgh has plenty of impressive places that you can propose, both high and low. The Steel City can be a beautiful backdrop to a new chapter in your lives together.
