From world-class museums to under-the-radar playgrounds, Philly doesn’t skimp on kid-friendly activities. That might come as a surprise to visitors of Philadelphia; kid-friendly fun isn’t usually the first thing that leaps to mind when thinking about the birthplace of our country.
But locals know that Philadelphia offers a range of activities for children of all ages (both history-related and not). Where else can kids visit the National Constitution Center, splash in a Center City fountain, zip through the trees on an obstacle course, and gush over animals at our country’s oldest zoo?
We’ve gone beyond some of the traditional historic sites—here’s looking at you, Liberty Bell—to offer 23 destinations curated to create a top-notch family-friendly itinerary. Meant for visiting families and long-time residents alike, this map will be updated frequently, so let us know in the comments if we missed your favorite spot. Behold: The best things to do in Philadelphia with kids.
