The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the largest art museums in the country. Madeline's favorite exhibit is the Impressionists and Jordan's favorite is the Arms and Armor! While it is technically walkable from Center City, we recommend taking a 5 minute Uber there.
The Franklin Institute is an interactive science museum. Madeline's favorite exhibit is the Body Odyssey. It is definitely walkable from Center City hotels, about 1 mile!
Old City is the historic district of Philadelphia home to the Betsy Ross House, Independence Hall, the Museum of the American Revolution, and Elfreth's Alley (America's oldest continuously inhabited street)! We recommend taking a 5 minute Uber from Center City to one of the locations then walking Old City. You can subway on the Market-Frankford line from 15th Street to 5th Street, as well!
