During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Fisher Fine Arts (Furness) Library
Like the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts building , this citadel of learning has the characteristic chiseled thistle of Frank Furness, although it was built a decade later from 1888 to 1890. The use of 1890s leaded glass here is even richer than on the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts building. Originally the University's library, the building now houses, appropriately, the fine arts library of the University of Pennsylvania. It's best viewed in a quick look while on the U. Penn quadrangle.

Carpenters' Hall
Carpenters' Hall (1773) was the guildhall for -- guess who? -- carpenters. At the time, the city could use plenty of carpenters, since 18th-century Philadelphia was the fastest-growing urban area in all the Colonies and perhaps in the British Empire outside of London. Robert Smith, a Scottish member of the Carpenters' Company, designed the building (like most carpenters, he did architecture and contracting as well). He also designed the steeple of Christ Church, with the same calm Georgian lines. The edifice is made of Flemish Bond brick in a checkerboard pattern, with stone windowsills, superb woodwork, and a cupola that resembles a saltshaker.You'll be surprised at how small Carpenters' Hall is given the great events that transpired here. In 1774, the normal governmental channels to convey Colonial complaints to the Crown were felt inadequate, and a popular Committee of Correspondence debated in Carpenters' Hall. The more radical delegates, led by Patrick Henry, had already expressed treasonous wishes for independence, but most wanted to exhaust possibilities of bettering their relationship with the Crown first.What's here now isn't much -- an exhibit of Colonial building methods; some portraits; and Windsor chairs that seated the First Continental Congress. If some details seem to be from a later period, you're right: The fanlights above the north and south doors date from the 1790s, and the gilding dates from 1857. Hours are short because the Carpenters' Company still maintains the hall.

Franklin Institute Science Museum
The Franklin Institute Science Museum isn't just kid stuff. All ages love it because it's a thoroughly imaginative trip through the worlds of science that demonstrates the influence of science in our lives. The complex has four parts. The first is the home of the Franklin National Memorial, with a 30-ton statue of its namesake and a collection of authentic Franklin artifacts and possessions.The second part is a collection of science- and technology-oriented exhibition areas, with innovative hands-on displays such as the recent "Titanic" show, from a gigantic walk-through heart (beloved by Philadelphians, and just restored after years of climbing and exploration by curious children) to the Train Factory, an interactive setting where you can play engineer for a 350-ton locomotive. For a hair-raising experience, plug into a Van de Graaff generator at the lightning gallery. On the third floor, an energy hall bursts with Rube Goldberg contraptions, noisemakers, and light shows. The nearby Discovery Theater gives afternoon shows featuring liquid air and other oddities. The fourth floor specializes in astronomy and mathematical puzzles. The basement Fels Planetarium (tel. 215/563-1363), just renovated and accompanied by the new "space station" on the first floor, rounds out the offering here.The third part of the Franklin Institute is the result of an ambitious 1991 campaign, funded by $22 million from the city and state, and $36 million from private donors, to construct the Mandell Futures Center addition. Just past the Franklin National Memorial on the second floor, you'll enter an atrium with cafes, ticket counters, and ramps and stairs leading to the new exhibits. Just beyond is a separate-admission IMAX arena, showing films ranging from undersea explorations to the Rolling Stones in spectacular 70mm format. Eight permanent interactive exhibits, including space, earth, computers, chemistry, and health, take you into the 21st century with Disney World-style pizazz. My personal favorites are "The Sports Challenge," a full body exploration of the science behind popular sports like surfing and rock climbing, a video driving exercise in "Future Vision," "The Jamming Room" of musical synthesizers, and the "See Yourself Age" computer program in "Future and You." The texts throughout are witty and disarming. Quite thrilling is the Skybike, which you can ride along a 1[dp] cable three stories above the Bartol Atrium floor and its huge new sci-store.The fourth section is the 1995 CoreStates Science Park, a collaboration with the Please Touch Museum. It uses the 38,000-square-foot lawn between the two museums -- it's free with admission to the museum. The imaginative urban garden is filled with high-tech play structures, including a high-wire tandem bicycle, 12-foot tire, step-on organ, maze, and optical illusions.Of course, you'll eventually get hungry -- with a family, the institute is a full afternoon. Your choices are excellent: a vending-machine space in the Wawa Lunchroom on the first floor, open only to museum-goers; the all-American-with-a-nutritional-twist Ben's Garden Cafe on the second floor, accessible without museum admission, and open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 2:30pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 3:30pm; and the Snack-A-Rama in the Mandell Center lobby, open daily from 11am to shortly before museum closing, serving beer and wine. Vendors outside sell Philadelphia soft pretzels with plenty of mustard.Note: Watch for special events at the Franklin Institute on and around Ben Franklin's 300th birthday, Jan 17, 2006. Citywide events are still in the works as we go to print. See www.benfranklin300.org for details.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Philadelphia area, including:

Best Western Independence Park Hotel
This top choice for bed-and-breakfast-style lodging has a great location, 2 blocks from Independence Hall. Now a Best Western franchise, the inn is housed in a handsome 1856 former dry-goods store with renovated rooms and a renovated exterior.The guest rooms, on eight floors, are normal size, but the ceilings are nice and high. The bathrooms have big beveled mirrors, dropped ceilings, and hair dryers. Although all the windows are triple casement and double-glazed, specify an interior room if you're sensitive to noise, since some rooms face the traffic on Chestnut Street. A third bed can be wheeled into your room for a child at no additional charge. The hotel serves a generous continental breakfast with a make-your-own Belgian waffle bar in a glass-enclosed garden courtyard, with a complimentary afternoon tea.

Philadelphia Airport Hilton
The Philadelphia Airport Hilton is out of the way of flight patterns and features a just-renovated lobby and cocktail lounge built around a lushly planted indoor pool. Like all airport hotels, business travelers predominate during the week, and reservations are recommended. The guest rooms, with whirlpool-equipped bathrooms redone in 2000, are classically American -- spacious and comfortable -- and will all be renovated by 2005.

Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia
The Avenue of the Arts location of this hotel is good for culture-seekers and families. The garage entrances ingeniously keep traffic flows separate for three floors of meeting facilities. The decor features rich paisleys and Degas-style murals alluding to the orchestral and ballet life at the Academy of Music across the street. Thanks to the saw-toothed design of the building, each of the guest rooms, which have been upgraded with new TVs and mattresses, has two views of town. Obviously, the higher floors afford the better views. The views of the Delaware River (eastern corner) or City Hall (northeastern corner) are the most popular. The bathrooms are clean and bland, and the Doubletree signature is a box of great chocolate chip cookies delivered to your room upon arrival.
