For out-of-town guests looking for things to do over the weekend, here's some of our suggestions! For ideas for the time between the Ceremony and Reception on The Big Day, see our Things To Do tab.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Museum

A very nice art museum in a pretty nice city - bonus: run the Rocky Steps https://philamuseum.org/

Longwood Gardens

Botanical Gardens

A beautiful botanical garden on one of the nearby historic duPont estates. On rainy days there is an expansive indoor conservatory to spend hours exploring. https://longwoodgardens.org/

Smithsonians

Museum

The wonderful network of public museums spread throughout Washington, DC. A great time to take a train in for the day and go Smithsonian-Hopping! The American History Museum and Air and Space Museum are favorites, but please let the bride know if you make it to the Postal Museum - It's been on her bucket list for years. si.edu/museums

Havre de Grace

Walkable Downtown

A quaint town full of Antique Shops, Good Coffee, Live Theatre, Historic Landmarks like the Concord Point Lighthouse and Lafayette Trail, a Duck Decoy Museum, Pleasant Boardwalk, Victorian Architecture, and more. A splendid place to spend the day!

For all the days along the way
