1)Franklin
Institute
This one tops our list
for several reasons. First off, the sheer amount of fun things to
do is simply enormous...you'll enjoy yourself so much, you'll
forget it's educational. Combine that with the fact that it's
perfect fun for the whole family, and it's no secret why the
Institute tops our list.
2)Independence
Hall
In a city as rich in
history as Philadelphia, no visit is complete without a stop at
Indy Hall. The well-educated tour guides and painstakingly
preserved rooms truly convey the important events that happened in
this city hundreds of years ago.
3)Philadelphia
Museum of Art
The art museum is one
of our favorite stops, due to its ever-changing feature exhibits
and sheer size. It houses over 300,000 works of art and is
recognized as one of the best museums in America. Wednesday
nights are also a blast here, with dinner and dancing. You
definitely won't be disappointed.
4)Liberty
Bell
This one-of-a-kind
piece of history may sound a bit dull to just stop by and admire,
but take our word for it; it's not. Boasting perhaps the city's
most educated and entertaining guides, the Bell is an immediate
symbol of all that this country holds dear.
5)Academy
of Natural Sciences
The Academy cannot be
missed, with its impressive statues lining the perimeter and
extensive creepy exhibits within. Constant new research and
exhibits make this one of our favorites, and kids flip for the
dinosaur fossils.
