Publisher's Synopsis
A valuable resource for both natives and out-of-towners, this book reveals Philadelphia's top family attractions. Popular tourist spots like the Liberty Bell and the Betsy Ross house are included but are presented from a kid's-eye view. Also featured are the unexpected -- the Mummer's Museum and Antique Row -- and the downright strange, such as haunted historical sites, a shoe museum, and an insectarium. Even longtime Philadelphians will be thrilled to discover new things to see and do and to find out which spots are worth the time and which are too scary, crowded, and just plain aggravating to visit with children. Also included are Philly facts and trivia, where to get the best cheese steak and other favourite Philly foods, and how to find those famous museum steps so kids can pretend to be Rocky.
