Things To Do
Wissahickon Valley Park
Great hiking/ biking/ walking trails right in Chestnut Hill-- get lost in nature without really leaving the city!
The Franklin Institute
A wonderful please-touch science museum for families of all ages!
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia (Mutter Museum)
Unique collection of over 20,000 unusual anatomical specimens in a museum of medical history.
Fairmount
Fairmount is home to renowned museums along Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Inspired by the Champs-Élysées, the boulevard attracts plenty of foot traffic to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (where you can take photos like Rocky Balboa on top of the famous steps!). Families enjoy the Philadelphia Zoo and tours of the spooky Eastern State Penitentiary museum, while young crowds fill Fairmount Avenue's cafes and bistros. At night, lights from Boathouse Row create a spectacular view.
Independence Hall
No trip to Philly would be complete with a little history! From here you can see the Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center, the Betsy Ross house, and plenty of other historical landmarks (and creepy old graveyards). Ghost tours around this area at night are fun!
Jim's Steaks
Everyone has their own opinion on the best cheesesteak in Philly (Pat's & Gens's are the most famous), but we've always thought Jim's is the best!
Parc Restaurant
Sit outside and people watch at the cafe tables at this beautiful French Bistro right in Rittenhouse Square. (Fun fact--- Brittany and a lot of her friends used to work here) ;)
Italian Market
Shop the original outdoor Italian market for an authentic South Philly experience. Don't forget to stop at DiBruno Bros for cheese samples and come hungry!
Evil Genius Beer Company
Our favorite brewery in Philadelphia! Located in the awesome new (hipster) neighborhood of Fishtown
Federal Distilling, Stateside Urbancraft Vodka
Amazing new distillery in Fishtown (walking distance from the brewery). The vodka from our wedding is from here :)
