Top Culture in Pennsylvania

I recommend checking out the local artisanal vendors. The handmade goods are unique and make perfect souvenirs without breaking the bank.

Grab a quick breakfast at one of the nearby cafes before you go. You can even pack a little snack and enjoy it while you take in the views. It’ll save you time and give you more energy!

If you can, go on a weekday morning right when it opens at 9 AM. It gets pretty crowded later, and you'll get great photos without throngs of people. I really enjoyed the peace before the rush.

My advice is to check out the live science demonstrations—they're super fun and interactive. Don't miss the schedule!

I think the best time to arrive is right when they open at 9:30 am. It's way less crowded then, and you can see more without rushing.

My advice is to explore the surrounding area after your visit – the Fairmount Park has some beautiful trails and views that are definitely worth your time.

Make sure to bring a camera or charge your phone – the view from the top of the steps is iconic, and you’ll want to capture that moment!

I suggest visiting early in the morning, around 8 AM, to avoid crowds and have the place almost to yourself for those perfect selfies with the art museum behind you

Bring a fully charged phone or camera! The place is super photogenic and I wished I had captured more moments but my battery died too soon.

Check the weather! I assumed it would be mild but ended up caught in a storm. Plan ahead and dress for the weather to enjoy your visit fully.

I suggest checking out the audio guide option. It’s super informative and gives you some great back stories you won’t get just by wandering around

I suggest visiting Rittenhouse Square early in the morning around 8 AM. The park is quieter, making it perfect for some peaceful strolling and photography without crowds.

If you can, spend some time in the Water Play area. It was a highlight of our visit! Just make sure to bring a change of clothes for the little ones.
