During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Please Touch Museum
This is one of the best indoor activities in town for a family with young kids, and the location is great -- just off the Parkway, 2 blocks south of the Franklin Institute (though the museum hopes to expand and move to Penn's Landing in the next decade). Dedicated to a unique fun-filled educational, cultural, hands-on experience, the converted factories help bring out the creative, exuberant, and receptive in us all.Once you're in, you can park strollers, check coats, and buy tickets at counters that cater to kids. Exciting hands-on exhibits like "Growing Up" encourage parent/child participation and focus on specific social, cognitive, and emotional areas of child development. "Me on TV," installed in 1993, allows children to experience being behind the camera and on stage in a television studio, including sound effects and camera angles. An exhibit of oversize settings and creatures comes from celebrated author/illustrator Maurice Sendak. The museum collaborates with the Franklin Institute to operate the 38,000-square-foot CoreStates Science Park between May and September, on the lawn between the two institutions. It's a great playground for the mind and body. Small children particularly love the cloud that they can make "rain," and the miniature grocery store.The Please Touch Museum is not a day-care center; you cannot simply drop the kids off, and you won't want to. Educational activities like storytelling and crafts are available daily from 11am to 3:30pm. It's also a great place to celebrate a child's birthday if you plan ahead.
Powel House
If Elfreth's Alley leaves you hungry for a taste of more well-to-do Colonial Philadelphia, head for the Powel House. Mayor Samuel Powel and his wife, Elizabeth, hosted every founding father and foreign dignitary around. (John Adams called these feasts "sinful dinners," which shows how far Powel had come from his Quaker background.) He spent most of his 20s gallivanting around Europe, collecting wares for this 1765 mansion.It's hard to believe that this most Georgian of houses was slated for demolition in 1930, because it had become a decrepit slum dwelling. Period rooms were removed to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. But the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks saved it, and has gradually refurnished the entire mansion as it was. The yellow satin Reception Room, off the entrance hall, has some gorgeous details, such as a wide-grain mahogany secretary. Upstairs, the magnificent ballroom features red damask drapes whose design is copied from a bolt of cloth found untouched in a Colonial attic. There is also a 1790 Irish crystal chandelier and a letter from Benjamin Franklin's daughter referring to the lively dances held here. An 18th-century garden lies below.
Rodin Museum
The beautiful, intimate Rodin Museum, in a 1929 Paul Cret building, exhibits the largest collection of the master's work (129 sculptures) outside the Musée Rodin in Paris. It has inherited its sibling museum's romantic mystery, making a very French use of space inside and boasting much greenery outside. Entering from the Parkway, virtually across the street from the Franklin Institute, you'll contemplate The Thinker, then pass through an imposing arch to a front garden of hardy shrubs and trees surrounding a fish pond. Before going into the museum, study the Gates of Hell. These gigantic doors reveal the artist's power to mold metal with his tremendous imagination.The galleries had a top-to-bottom renovation 5 years ago. The main hall holds authorized casts of John the Baptist, The Cathedral, and The Burghers of Calais. Several of the side chambers and the library hold powerful erotic plaster models. Drawings, sketchbooks, and Steichen photographic portraits of Rodin are exhibited from time to time.
Thomas Bond House
This 1769 Georgian row house sits almost directly across from the back of Independence Park in busy Old City, and is owned by the federal government, which kept the shell and gutted the interior. The guest rooms are cheerful, comfortable, Colonial-style accommodations, renovated completely in 2002. The entrance is decorated with map illustrations and secretary desks. The charming parlor has pink sofas and a replica Chippendale double chair, while the breakfast room has four tables for four. All rooms are individually decorated and feature private bathrooms and period furnishings. Fresh-baked cookies are put out each evening for bedtime snacking. The hotel is named for its first occupant, the doctor who co-founded Pennsylvania Hospital with Benjamin Franklin.
Sheraton Society Hill
Located 3 blocks from Head House Square and 4 blocks from Independence Hall, the 1986 Sheraton Society Hill sits among the tree-lined cobblestone streets of this historic district. Set on a triangular 2 1/2-acre site between Dock and South Front streets, the building is modern, but was designed in keeping with the area's Georgian architecture and Flemish Bond brickwork. Its skylit, four-story atrium is entered via a circular courtyard with a splashing fountain.The guest rooms are on the long low second, third, and fourth floors (the only Delaware River views are from the fourth floor). Rooms are a bit smaller than you'd expect (as are the bathrooms); half have one king-size bed, and the others have two double beds. Rooms are furnished in Drexel Heritage mahogany, an upholstered love seat and chair, and glass-and-brass coffee tables. In each bathroom, dark marble tops the vanity, and Martex bathrobes are provided. The decor is rich and patterned, with American art prints on the walls.
Omni Hotel at Independence Park
This small, polished hotel, opened in 1990, has a terrific location fronting onto Independence National Historical Park, and is near many of the best Old City restaurants and galleries. All rooms have park views and were recently renovated, though there's a sense of history, too, as horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past the valet parking drop-off and elegant glass-and-steel canopy. The lobby is classic, with huge vases of flowers, and a clubby adjacent bar featuring a pianist. Every room is cheery, with plants and original pastels of city views. The staff here is noteworthy for its quality and its knowledge of the park. The hotel's Azalea serves New American fare. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, and the comfortable lounge serves excellent hamburgers and light pastas. The Ritz Five movie theater is next door in the Bourse complex.
