Things To Do
Fairmount Park
Did you know that Fairmount Park is the largest urban park system in the United States? The entire system is comprised of 63 parks across 9,200 acres! This is just one part of the park that we love, but we encourage you to explore as much of it as you can!
Boathouse Row
Along Kelly Drive, you can bike, walk, jog...take in the sights of the city and river. And, see Boathouse Row all lit up at night!
Philadelphia Museum of Art
One of Philly's best attractions...and home of the Rocky steps!
Wissahickon Brewing Company
You can explore the Wissahickon Park, and then stop here for a drink. They have great beer, food trucks, and just generally a nice place to unwind. It's about 10 minutes from the hotel by car!
The Monkey & The Elephant
Hands down our favorite coffee place. It isn't exactly close to the hotel, but aside from great coffee, muffins and breakfast sandwiches, it has a great mission. It is a nonprofit that employees youth aging out of foster care. Check it out if you can.
PAWS Adoption Center
In case you are looking to adopt a new pet, PAWS is the best place to visit. They are Philly's first no-kill shelter, and have some of the best animals. Frederick and Patricia are both PAWS cats, and even though Ramona never had to go to the shelter, she fully supports PAWS!
Cafe Lift
Huevos rancheros. Buy extra hot sauce to go.
Belmont Mansion
The Belmont Mansion is a wonderful place to visit for two reasons - it has a beautiful view of the Philly skyline, but more importantly, it is a wonderful museum, highlighting the Underground Railroad. Your entry fee goes directly towards their preservation efforts.
