helena Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 We're going to be in Philadelphia for a couple days at the end of April. Last year we saw the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall, so now I'm trying to find a few new places to visit. I'm thinking Betsy Ross House, the African American Museum, and Bartram's Garden. Can this be done in two days? Is there something else we should do? How is the Franklin Institute? Are there any old houses where poets/writers once lived,(besides Poe) who's homes we could visit? thanks for any insight :) (My girls are 8 and 11) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) We thoroughly enjoyed the Franklin Institute (several times ;)) and the aquarium. Check out the mint and Constitution Center http://www.constitutioncenter.org We've been there a few times, too.:001_smile: ETA: If you have a vehicle, try to get to Washington's winter headquarters....Valley Forge.

kewb Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 We love the Franklin Institute. We also like roaming around the Reading Terminal Market (http://www.readingterminalmarket.org/) And no trip to Philly is compete until we have cheesesteak at Tony Luke's.
