Family-friendly Philadelphia
 
Affordable? Check. Accessible? Check. Educational? Check.

If you're on the hunt for a family vacation destination that meets these criteria, you can stop the search. Philadelphia is affordable, accessible, educational — and fun! These four magic words make the Philadelphia region perfect for your family summer getaway.

It’s no wonder that kids love Philadelphia. This town is made for fun! Here history, science and art really do come to life. Watch the excitement on your kids‘ faces when they see the Liberty Bell up-close for the first time or stand next to a Tyrannosaurus Rex at our Academy of Natural Sciences.

You’ll be surprised at just how many of our fabulous museums are kid-friendly and kid-focused. Getting around with the kids is easy and entertaining too, with plenty of carriage, trolley and boat rides to enjoy.
