Make the Most of Your Mars Stay

A small-town detour with cosmic charm

Mars sits 25 miles north of Pittsburgh, where a 3,000-pound flying saucer sculpture anchors the town square. Named in 1882 to avoid postal confusion with another Pennsylvania town, Mars has fully embraced its extraterrestrial identity while maintaining its railroad heritage. The restored 1897 B&O train station tells the story of the oil boom that transformed this settlement, while downtown's traditional storefronts now house local breweries like Stick City and upscale dining at Speer's Steakhouse. Every 687 days, the Mars New Year festival brings NASA scientists and aerospace professionals for STEAM exhibits and robotic demonstrations.

Business access and upscale residential appeal

The Route 228 corridor connecting Mars to neighboring Cranberry Township provides commercial infrastructure, with corporate offices, premium hotels, and restaurants serving the region's business community. Westinghouse's headquarters nearby makes this a practical base for corporate travelers seeking alternatives to downtown Pittsburgh. The exclusive Treesdale Golf & Country Club features an Arnold Palmer-designed course, while planned communities like Adams Ridge attract relocating executives with resort-style amenities.

Practical considerations

Pittsburgh International Airport sits 30 minutes south, though a rental car proves essential. Moraine State Park's 16,725 acres and Lake Arthur beaches provide outdoor escapes 20 minutes north, while downtown Pittsburgh's cultural attractions remain easily accessible for extended stays.
