THINGS TO DO
Reading Terminal Market
One of America’s largest and oldest public markets (housed since 1893 in a National Historic Landmark building), the Market offers an incredible selection of locally grown & exotic produce, locally sourced meats and poultry, plus the finest seafood, cheeses, baked goods, and confections.
Love Park
LOVE Park (officially known as John F. Kennedy Plaza) is a public park located in Center City, Philadelphia. The park is nicknamed LOVE Park for its reproduction of Robert Indiana's 1970 LOVE sculpture which overlooks the plaza.
Independence Hall
Independence Hall was built in 1732 as the Pennsylvania State House. Within this hallowed hall, you will see "the room where it happened": The Second Continental Congress began meeting in May of 1775. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4th, 1776 - America's birthday!
Liberty Bell
The bell was originally known as the State House Bell and is an iconic symbol of American independence. In the late 1830s, it acquired the name of the Liberty Bell when it became a symbol of the anti-slavery movement. No one knows when it cracked, but some believe it was back in 1752 when it arrived in Philadelphia!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
This museum is said to be the cultural heart of a great city — the place for creative play, with a surprise around every corner. It is home to 200 galleries of world-class art and is Philadelphia’s destination for creative play. Don't forget to take a picture with the Rocky statue right before you run up all those steps!
Philadelphia City Hall
This building is a National Historic Landmark. With 14.5 acres of floor space and almost 700 rooms, Philadelphia City Hall is the biggest municipal building in America (it is even taller and has more rooms than the U.S. Capitol Building)!
Spruce Street Harbor Park
The Spruce Street Harbor Park is an urban beach located in Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Most popular during the summer months, this place features a boardwalk along the Delaware River with a beachfront atmosphere.
South Street
Long known as the edgiest street in Philadelphia, South Street is a melting pot of groups and cultures. Shoppers searching for a statement-making look, visitors hungry for a real Philly cheesesteak and music lovers who want to catch an up-and-coming band all head to South Street in droves.
