Please Touch Museum

For those parents (or grandparents or aunts or uncles or anyone else) that need to find a way to entertain their kids, Philly's Please Touch Museum is the perfect spot.  Located in Fairmount Park, this "museum" allows kids to go into various themed rooms to play with all on display.  Some highlights include a super market, a hospital where kids can "play doctor", a river jungle, a small city, an Alice In Wonderland themed room and many others.  There is nothing here that the kids can't touch or play with, so no matter how young your children are, they should be able to find a way to have fun. I'd say it'd best be enjoyed by kids between the ages of 3 to 10. At the end of the day there is also a parade, where any child can participate marching around the museum and banging on a tambourine.  

One thing to note is that there is a parking lot that they charge you to park in.  However, you can park on the street right in front for free and there are almost always spots available.

Various Philly Phanatics

We've collected a few more Philly Phanatic statues from around the city this past weekend. We kicked it off at the Please Touch Museum, located in Fairmount Park.  Dressed up as the Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland, I think this was my favorite of them.

To follow up this one, we saw the statue standing right in front of the Franklin Institute, which was of course painted up as Ben Franklin.

Our final Phanatic was in the trendy area of Rittenhouse Square.  This guy had various baseball cards of Phillies greats over the years painted on him.
