Things To Do

Barnes Foundation

We love visiting the Barnes and highly recommend visiting if you enjoy art museums. Read below for more info (excerpt taken from the Barnes website): “…Home to one of the world’s finest collections of impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, the Barnes integrates art and objects from across cultures and time periods... The intimacy and unique character of the Barnes’s galleries …provide a haven for exploration, discovery, and rediscovery, no matter one’s background or familiarity with art.”

Philadelphia Museum of Art

This is another one of our favorite museums! The PMA is HUGE and has a wide variety of galleries to explore. Check out their website for more info.

Please Touch Museum (Family Friendly!)

Description: children’s hands on museum that encourages learning. We’ve visited with our niece Hazel and she loved it! Age range: “Generally, the Museum is best for children from about six months through age 8. We have created fun learning environments for infants, toddlers, preschoolers and early elementary-age children. Slightly older children often have fun acting as “teachers” for their younger siblings and playmates.”

Pizzeria Stella (Old City)

This is one of our favorite pizza places in the city! Some of favorites are the sausage, and the margarita pizzas. The Caesar salad is also a must have!

Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History Museum Store

Liberty Bell

A great place to walk around and see important landmarks in US history.

Middle Child Clubhouse Restaurant

We love to go here for lunch- their sandwiches are great! This location has good seating. Their other location, closer to old city, has no seating but is great for ordering to go.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream

I ( Sarah), highly recommend the lemon bar DF flavor. It’s delicious! The regular ice cream is also delicious!

La Colombe Coffee Workshop (Fishtown)

Lots of good seating, coffee, and lite fare. Only downside is no WiFi but we use our hotspots.
