Things To Do
Reading Terminal Market
In all, Reading Terminal Market boasts more than 80 diverse merchants, two of which are descendants of original stand holders from when it first opened more than 125 years ago. Be sure to allot plenty of time to stroll through the vast food bazaar and browse everything from handmade imported crafts and American quilts to fresh produce, dairy products, exotic meats and seafood, freshly cut flowers, cookbooks, and expertly prepared foods, including cannolis, soft pretzels, vegan sandwiches, sushi and more.

Liberty Bell Center
No tickets are required to visit the Liberty Bell. During the busiest times, guests should plan for a potentially long wait to enter. Pro tips: You can increase your odds of avoiding a long line by visiting early in the day. Check the weather before heading out. Visitors wait outside in an uncovered area. There are very few places to sit while waiting in line. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes or bring a light chair if unable to stand for long periods. Note: Guests must pass through a security-screening area to enter.
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is a non-profit organization, folk art environment, and gallery space on South Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Rocky Statue & Steps
Since Rocky’s first triumphant onscreen run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1976, the 72 steps have become an international destination. To finish off the experience, head to the bottom of the stairs and snap a photo with the bronze statue of Rocky, originally created for Rocky III.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Explore pieces from Korea at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989 exhibit, ending Feb 11. Korean creations are not the only presentations you’ll find, though, as this museum holds history and depth developed through the decades. The collections range from American, contemporary and costume, European arts and more. Advance purchase of tickets is recommended.
