Things To Do
SOUTH Restaurant and Jazz Club
SOUTH is a Southern kitchen and a jazz club that holds a special place in the couple's hearts. This is the restaurant James popped the question and Laurren said "YES!" If you are looking for good Southern food or you want to have a date night with a jazz band this is the place for you!
Valley Forge National Historical Park
We went here when we first moved to the area. Valley Forge has been a go-to date spot for us and our saving grace during the pandemic.
King of Prussia Mall
This is the second-largest mall in the country and we lived 10 minutes from here for 3 years. Many fun afternoons and chaotic Christmas shopping!
Liberty Bell
This is essential for any visit to Philadelphia. Even if you are not going to stay in the area that long at least go to Center City in Philadelphia to get a picture in front of the Liberty Bell.

James and I went to Reading Terminal Market on our first date in Philadelphia! We 10/10 recommend visiting if you want to go into the city. If you are worried about parking try the website SpotHerto (https://spothero.com) for the best parking prices.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadephia Museum of Art is James and Laurren's favorite place in Philadephia. If you have a few hours visit the art museum.
Longwood Gardens
We got our engagement pictures here!! We recommend visiting if you have a few hours but do not want to deal with the hassle of Philadelphia's city traffic. Check out Longwood Garden's website to see what plants are on display and what the fountain shows for the season.
Edgar Allan Pоe National Historic Site
This was the same day we went to Reading Terminal Market. If you are a fan of all things Poe or just spooky stories we recommend visiting. If you are worried about parking try the website SpotHerto (https://spothero.com) for the best parking prices.
