Highlights
  • Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University - Dig for fossils, discover African wildlife in lifelike dioramas, and see a towering Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton at the Academy of Natural Science.

This premier research institution, affiliated with Drexel University, is full of fun and enlightening exhibits that visitors of all ages will enjoy.

  • The African American Museum in Philadelphia - The African American Museum in Philadelphia was the first museum in a major U.S. city dedicated to the culture and heritage of African Americans and the African diaspora. Since its founding in 1976, the museum has sought to give a platform to the stories of African Americans in the shaping of our nation.

  • Battleship New Jersey - The USS New Jersey is Admiral “Bull” Halsey’s flagship and the nation’s most decorated battleship. Interactive tours of the Battleship New Jersey give visitors the chance to experience the ship just as the crew did – walking through narrow passageways, climbing ladders, and spending time in the mess halls and sleeping quarters.

  • Betsy Ross House - Visit the home of America’s most famous flag maker, Betsy Ross, on a self-guided or audio tour of the historic landmark. The birthplace of the American flag is alive with the sights and sounds of the Revolutionary era.

Meet Betsy in her upholstery shop as she works on her flag and answers questions about how she came to sew the Stars and Stripes, as well as her personal life and business. Just blocks from Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, this attraction is a must-see for anyone who wants to be immersed in America’s history or learn about the role women like Betsy played in the Revolution.

  • Eastern State Penitentiary - Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.

Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of prisoners. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone.

  • Fort Mifflin - History comes to life at Fort Mifflin, one of the only intact Revolutionary War battlefields and the only fort in Philadelphia! The National Historic Landmark encompasses 40 acres of land and 8 surviving buildings. The Fort is best known for withstanding the greatest bombardment of the American Revolution.
  • Christ Church - Christ Church Burial Ground is one of America’s most interesting Colonial and Revolution-era graveyards, with 1,400 markers on two beautiful acres right in the heart of historic Philadelphia.

The Burial Ground is the final resting place of some of our most prominent leaders including Benjamin Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence. This year the historic burial ground marks its 295th year.

  • Independence Seaport Museum - We’re all about water! Dive into River Alive!, a new exhibit that brings the wildlife, science, and wonder of the Delaware River up close.

Raise the sails on our pirate ship Diligence and submerge yourself in hands-on exhibits plus one of the largest maritime art and artifact collections in North America. Climb aboard National Historic Landmark ships Cruiser Olympia and Submarine Becuna. Paddle around in our seasonal small boat rentals.

  • National Constitution Center - The National Constitution Center is America’s first and only museum dedicated entirely to awareness and understanding of the US Constitution.

The museum’s main exhibits include 3 attractions: Freedom Rising, a multimedia theatrical production in a 350-seat star-shaped theater; The Story of We the People, an interactive exhibit in which you can try on an actual Supreme Court robe and watch yourself on the big screen as you recite the Presidential Oath of Office; and Signer’s Hall, where you’ll see life-size bronze statues of the Founding Fathers present at the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787. Fun, hands-on programs occur daily and include theatrical performances, trivia competitions, and more.

  • National Liberty Museum - Find your own place in the story of liberty at the National Liberty Museum, located in the heart of historic Philadelphia. Glass art is the primary medium at this one-of-a-kind museum that tells the story of America’s progression toward freedom and democracy through interactive exhibits and contemporary works of art.

Some noteworthy exhibitions include a 21-foot Chihuly glass flame illuminating heroes from the past and present, a colorful sculpture of two children made entirely of jelly beans, and a stained glass chess set with a witty take on tolerance.

  • Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts - Internationally known for its collection of 19th and 20th century American paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is a treasure of a museum in downtown Philadelphia.

With some 14,000 works of art in its collection, the museum curators produce masterful exhibitions focusing on themes like women in the arts, fantasy and nostalgia, and the role of art in times of war. Famed artists represented in the collection include Charles Willson Peale (the museum’s founder), John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper and Cecilia Beaux.

  • Philadelphia Museum of Art - The Philadelphia Museum of Art brings the arts to life, inspiring visitors—through scholarly study and creative play—to discover the spirit of imagination that lies in everyone.

The Museum strives to connect people with the arts in rich and varied ways, making the experience of the Museum surprising, lively, and always memorable.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is poised to meet the decades to come as one of the nation’s foremost destinations in which to see world-class art.

  • Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours - A great way to access over 100 sites and attractions is aboard an open-top bus with 28 stops and a Hop-on Hop-off city loop tour. Spend the whole day seeing what you want in the City of Brotherly Love and let your tour guide inform you about what’s going on around town!

You have the option of staying on the double-decker bus for a complete tour of the city before deciding where you would like to spend more time. This is an awesome way to get an historical and cultural overview! Your ticket provides you with unlimited access to our bus for one day.

  • The Constitutional Walking Tour - Explore the birthplace of the nation by foot with a 75-minute walking tour led by a knowledgeable and friendly local guide! You’ll see 21 top historic sights on this 1.25-mile route through the Independence National Historical Park area and beyond.
  • Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History - Explore 360 years of Jewish life in America at the National Museum of American Jewish History through cutting edge hands-on interactives and a collection of more than 30,000 artifacts including paintings, sculptures, film, photographs, and objects used in the daily lives of American Jews throughout history.

Good be a good deal if you skip the bus tour - The pass is good if you choose not to use the bus. If you have only 2 days try to visit as many museums as possible or do the walking tours if you are into that, otherwise is not worth it, and you will end up pay a overpriced entry for those museums. We had a 2 days pass, the first day we got a good deal because we had 2 walking tours, one museum and the Philly cheesesteak, the second day we got screwed with the bus, and we pretty much spent more than half a day running from a stop to another because the bus was not stoping to all stops and waiting for it. Definitely they don’t know what a hop on hop off bus is.

Poor Experience - We’ve used passes like these before without issue, but this is not one of them! A prime example is that we’d booked to do the ghost tour on the pass (we’d bought a 1 day pass not a flex pass) but when we arrived at the tour the owner told us that we were not allowed to go because the pass said “scan limit reached”. She said we must’ve bought a flex pass and had reached the limit. We explained (and sent screenshots) of our pass showing it was clearly a 1 day pass and we’d used it that morning with her company for the constitutional walking tour so logic would say it’s still valid! She wouldn’t let us go on the tour unless we provided a credit card which we clearly weren’t going to do given we’d already paid for the pass. So this was either an issue with the pass or the vendor but either way as the customer we were completely stuck in the middle. It makes the pass not worth it at all. Some of the other vendors we visited had issues scanning it (the app was slow or kept logging them out) but otherwise eventually worked. Needless to say it was not a seamless experience and we’re waiting to hear back from the company on what can be done about the fact we weren’t permitted by the vendor owner to do an entire attraction! It’s not as simple as “whoops our bad, here’s a replacement ticket”, we live in Australia and have now left Philly and are travelling home, so not exactly an easy fix!
