Attractions
In addition to AAABA baseball, there are many sight-seeing destinations around Johnstown.
The must-see attraction is the World's Steepest Vehicular Inclined Plane, located across the street from Point Stadium. Riders can take the incline to the top and get an amazing view of downtown. There is also a gift shop, ice cream stand, playground, and the Cityview Bar & Grill.
Also downtown is the Johnstown Flood Museum, which tales the story of the infamous Johnstown Flood of 1889. Admission to the Flood Museum also includes admission to the Heritage Discovery Center in Cambria City, where visitors walk in the footsteps of immigrants to America during the Industrial Revolution.
The Johnstown Flood National Memorial in South Fork is approximately 20 minutes north of town. This is the actual location of the South Fork dam, which caused the 1889 flood. Remnants of the dams are still visible today, and the museum features the award-winning Johnstown Flood film.
South of Johnstown are the Flight 93 Memorial and Quecreek Mine Disaster Memorial. From the tragedy of September 11th to the miracle at Quecreek, this small section of the country experiences the lowest and highest points in the nation during the early 2000s.
An hour north of Johnstown is the Altoona Railroaders' Museum and the famous Horseshoe Curve, as well as the Allgheny Portage Railroad.
