Learn through play in Philly

Let your children be your guides at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. Specifically geared towards young children, this museum encourages learning through play. With lots of different interactive exhibits, your children will have fun while developing their creativity and problem-solving skills. Follow Alice into Wonderland, help build a treehouse, or explore the world of “Where the Wild Things Are.” For the youngest set (under 3) there’s a special Barnyard Babies exhibit where they can work on a farm and play in the vegetable garden. And when you want to wind down after running around all day, settle in at the Story Garden or catch an ongoing interactive show at the theater. The museum recommends visiting in the afternoons or on Mondays, which are generally the quietest. Sunny days are also a good choice since rain seems to bring out the crowds.
