Philadelphia’s combination of culture and natural beauty makes for an exciting array of thrilling theme parks, interactive museums, moving memorials, and recreational sports. Visit the stunning Philadelphia Museum of Art; bring your children to the delightfully creepy Philadelphia Insectarium or let them roll up their sleeves and explore the hands-on Please Touch Museum -- or spend a lazy summer afternoon fishing at one of the area’s idyllic lakes. No matter what the season, it is impossible to escape the multitude of things to do.
