Things To Do
Independence National Historical Park
There is a lot of history to explore around Philadelphia! Independence Hall and Old City area has great museums, space to walk around, as well as a ton of great restaurants. This is the neighborhood by the Marriott Old City Hotel if you are staying there. If this is your first time in Philly, you have to at least explore some of the history!
Reading Terminal Market
This indoor food market gets crowded on the weekend and during lunch hour but it is worth it! So much good food to try!
The Mütter Museum at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
If you want to check out a creepy but interesting museum, check out this museum.
The Franklin Institute
Our favorite museum in the city. A science museum great for kids and adults!
Tom's Dim Sum
One of our favorite restaurants - casual and delicious. We have enjoyed for dates, take out, and various gatherings with friends. Famous for soup dumplings and we also recommend the scallion pancakes.
Wissahickon Creek Trailhead
March weather can be very uncertain but if it's nice out and you want to get some hiking/nature in, Wissahickon Trails are a great way to do that.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Everyone needs to check off the Rocky Steps at some point. Run up the steps, take a picture with the Rocky statue, enjoy great art at various exhibits at the Philadelphia Art Museum.
Sonny's Famous Steaks
"Where do I get a Philly Cheesesteak???" - Sonny's will be the option closest to the hotel/venue and is highly recommended to grab one of Philly's treasured sandwiches.
