What are some great things to see and do in Philadelphia?|154740

I am planning on taking my kids to Sesame Place which is close to Philadelphia. I would like to get a hotel room while I am there for the weekend and enjoy the city as well. Are there any great recommendations from anyone of things to see and do? Thanks!

Here are some things you should look up:

The Please Touch Museum (Children)

The Franklin Institute

The Reading Terminal Market

Pennslanding

Camden Aquarium

Liberty Bell/Constiution Center

The Duck Boat Tour

NJ Battle Ships

The Naval yard

The Art museum (Not fun for children but is free on Sunday mornings)

And much more!

Have fun @ Philly!

If you_re taking your kids to Sesame Place, I_m guessing they_re pretty young and probably wouldn_t get the whole US history thing yet, such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall tours. However you might like to see it, it_s a pretty area and there_s lots to take in. To keep the kids entertained take a ride on the Ducks...It_s an amphibious vessel that drives around the historic areas and also goes into the river. There is also a great museum, the Franklin Institute which is interactive for kids and they love it. As far as a place to stay, I would recommend the Embassy Suites on the Ben Franklin Parkway. You and the kids can have a decent sized room, convenient for walking around and checking things out.
Have fun!

Sesame Place is in Langhorne, but its close to Philly. It will probably be a 45 minute drive from the city. If you stay in Philly you can go see all the historic stuff, that_s always fun. Old City is cute, shops, restaurants, Liberty Bell, the Constitution Center. You can go for a stroll at the zoo..first zoo in America!..have fun

The Philadelphia Zoo! Or take one of the tours on the big bus tour. Depending on how old your kids are the Independence Hall and Liberty Bell are also in Philly. Have fun!

Definitely get a real Philly Cheesesteak, not some sandwich that they claim it as one at Fuddruckers.
