Education and art have a lot to offer, but if you're traveling with children, you may need something in addition. This is a child-friendly town. There is an aquarium, a zoo, three museums designed to let children play with the exhibits (the Please Touch Museum, the Franklin Institute and a section of the Academy of Natural Sciences), old ships and a submarine at Penn's Landing, two ice rinks, six professional sports teams, plus an Omnimax theater and a planetarium at the Franklin Institute.

Many of the downtown places (and the aquarium) are on the route of the Phlash bus. The fare is a flat rate of $3 for unlimited stops all day long. For many of the museums, a CityPass is available that provides access to several places with one ticket.
