Things To Do
Philly
Philadelphia is just 40–45 minutes away and makes for a great day trip. Explore iconic U.S. history: Liberty Bell, the Rocky steps, great museums, murals galore—and most importantly, Philly cheesesteaks. Highlights: Independence Hall – where they signed the Declaration of Independence (aka: our big breakup letter to the UK) Philly Museum of Art – cue the Rocky theme music Reading Terminal Market – bustling indoor food hall with something for everyone 🌟 Best Cheesesteaks?🌟 Pat’s vs. Geno’s (South Philly): Classic, touristy, and open late. Right across the street from each other—pick your fighter! Order like a local: “Whiz wit” = Cheese Whiz + onions “American witout” = American cheese, no onions
Longwood Gardens
If you love a good National Trust day out, Longwood is your place.
Brandywine Valley
The Brandywine Valley has quite a few local wineries and breweries that are good. Many have outdoor patios and tasting flights. Top picks: Chaddsford Winery – Classic and charming Penns Woods Winery – Great views, great rosé Levante Brewing – Lively taproom in West Chester Victory Brewing Co. – Bigger, but beloved (especially by locals who love a strong IPA)
