Popular Things To Do:

The Franklin Institute, 4.2 Stars
This is a science museum for all ages. Some of the attractions include 101 Inventions That Changed The World, The Giant Heart, and Sir Isaac's Loft. This is a very interactive museum, with lots of science exhibits. There are also temporary exhibits that change often. This is a must see for science lovers or kids.

Fort Mifflin, 4.5 Stars
This is the first place that I can actually give my personal experience about (besides NYC)! These are the remains of Civil War/WWI bunks.  I visited here almost a year ago, and it was scary. I got yelled "Go Away"! at by a ghost with another girl. I don't know if it was real, but it definitely scared us! This was voted one of the Top 10 Haunted Places in the US. Fort Mifflin also has a nice river view. This is great for people who enjoy history and being spooked!



Rosenbach Museum & Library, 4 Stars
This library is home to 400,000 rare books. It's set in a historic townhouse, and visitors can get tours of the museum. This is a must see for anyone who loves books or history.

My Review (8)
I give Philadelphia an 8 out of 10. I have been there, but haven't really explored the city. I'm from Northern New Jersey, so I'm supposed to hate Philly & love NYC. I do love NYC, but Philadelphia sounds fun, too (not as fun as NYC, though)! They have a lot of museums that I didn't know about, and I had a great time at Fort Mifflin.
