The Best of NileGuide
- Philadelphia has some amazing kid-friendly things to do for children ages 1 through 18. From outdoor parks to 3D movie theaters to hands-on science museums, the city offers something for youths of all ages. And adults don't fear: these museums and locales are fascinating enough to keep you interested as well. The Please Touch Museum offers a unique experience for children. Its exhibits are all hands-on and young children can experiment with and understand things in the way that is most effective for kids - by manipulating and physically exploring them. The Franklin Institute is one of the country's premier science museums, with informative exhibits and activities for children and adults. The Academy of Natural Sciences features one thing all kids love: dinosaurs. And the landmark Philadelphia Zoo is a great place to spend a day checking out living animals. Discover Philadelphia family fun in Philadelphia with all the kid-friendly things you - and your little ones - can handle.
