The Academy of Natural Sciences invites you to travel back in time and all over the globe with as they explore Dinosaurs Around the World - a special exhibit on display through January 20, 2020! The earth has undergone some massive changes over the years with the plant and animal life changing right along with it. Welcome to a time where Antarctica is a tropical beach and you would need a few extra layers to visit the frigidness of Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exhibit is full interactive with fossils to touch and and artifacts to examine. There's even a spot to play paleontologist and uncover dinosaur bones using special tools of the trade. The highlight of the whole thing, of course, is the moving, roaring dinosaurs scattering in abundance throughout the exhibit. Standing in front of giant, cheery postcards, life-sized herbivores and carnivores represent their different areas of the world including the ferocious Velociraptors and the mild mannered Leaellynasaura. </div>

The world has always needed heroes. Someone to take on the darkness both in the world we live in and within ourselves. We seek out those who make us feel protected and as if good and hope still have a fighting chance. Through the medium of comicbooks, Stan Lee was able to create an alternate reality where even the most vile evil imaginable met it's match at the hands of the good guys. No one else has created superheroes quite like Marvel with their diversity, relatability, and sustained popularity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This summer, The Franklin Institute is proud to be the East Coast debut location of Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes. With a huge collection of comic book artifacts and movie props, this special exhibit is sure to thrill everyone from your summer blockbuster enthusiast to the biggest of collectors. Enter a world where superheroes live among us, ready to defend those they love most as well as complete strangers in peril.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exhibit begins with a look back at the history of how Marvel came to be, and then how it managed to adapt to the changing times over the years. From there visitors get to fully immerse themselves in their favorite characters from the on paper creation to life sized costumes and props. Make sure you pose for a picture with Spiderman, Black Panther, and even the raging Incredible Hulk!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes is only at The Franklin Institute from April 13th through September 2nd! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The Philadelphia Zoo has long been known for its leadership in conservation and zoos worldwide, with its reputation as being America's first zoo as well as its cutting edge Zoo360 experience putting it way ahead of others. This year, they'll be enhancing the visitor and member experience with a few new additions as well as a return of a beloved zoo memory.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FO-itHx9Xs8/XMn2BHxuhhI/AAAAAAAAFVI/3XL-cnx42rkQY6uRdx85wDu75lvU53BdQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="746" data-original-width="597" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FO-itHx9Xs8/XMn2BHxuhhI/AAAAAAAAFVI/3XL-cnx42rkQY6uRdx85wDu75lvU53BdQCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_1568.jpg" width="160" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2019 is the year that the ZooKey finally comes back to the Philadelphia Zoo, and zoo goers old and young have been rejoicing over its return. Just like the old ZooKeys from years past (which will still work, by the way!), the new keys allow visitors to learn even more about the animals, their habitats, and the people who take care of them. Look for the boxes around the zoo (locations can be found on the map), and listen to a zookeeper share interesting information in either English or Espanol (we LOVE that they are bilingual!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vSJl1LVTBR0/XMn2BGvaaPI/AAAAAAAAFVQ/79FQneacM6YtHcVrGTJup4ZeObx1S068ACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1567.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="750" height="160" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vSJl1LVTBR0/XMn2BGvaaPI/AAAAAAAAFVQ/79FQneacM6YtHcVrGTJup4ZeObx1S068ACLcBGAs/s200/IMG_1567.jpg" width="200" /></a>Another addition for 2019 are the special LEGO brick creations in the Creatures of Habitat exhibit. These 12 life-sized vignettes highlight various animals, the fragility of their homes, and what we can be doing to preserve their environments. From the mighty African Lion and Polar Bear to the whimsical Golden Lion Tamarin and Humboldt Penguin, each display is fun to look at and fascinating to learn about. Creatures of Habitat will be on display through September 30, 2019.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dvCxnqje234/XMn2BGnAoOI/AAAAAAAAFVM/iNKyWLHW92sT-86WA5ov0UGQltBXbYwvwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_1566.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="556" data-original-width="750" height="148" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dvCxnqje234/XMn2BGnAoOI/AAAAAAAAFVM/iNKyWLHW92sT-86WA5ov0UGQltBXbYwvwCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_1566.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The final new experience at the Philadelphia Zoo is a delicious and welcome addition to the eateries located on the premises. The Urban Green is an open-air place to chow down and chill out with a fun neighborhood vibe. The menu includes Burgers, Salads, Fry Bowls, and Pressed Sandwiches all created with fresh and tasty ingredients.<br />

They span history and cross cultures and vary from place to place in the world. But where did they begin? Who were these dragons, giant sea monsters, and fairy tale creatures? The Academy of Natural Sciences takes a look at the scientific origins of these legends with Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, & Mermaids on exhibit through June 9.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every section of the special exhibit is a fun and fascinating look at the animal inspiration behind the lore and legend of various cultures and countries. From giant squids and interesting narwhals to dinosaur fossils and bizarre reptiles, there's a cool creature or natural phenomenon behind nearly every tale. The entire exhibit is interactive and immersive with places to design your own dragon, touch fossils, and even dress up like your favorite legendary creature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ee16wzYIM5c/XMnzuvfselI/AAAAAAAAFU0/iz_dHviVCkES6hjVZ3P1d_JdUhn_nTbBQCLcBGAs/s1600/10.%2BBuild%2BA%2BDragon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ee16wzYIM5c/XMnzuvfselI/AAAAAAAAFU0/iz_dHviVCkES6hjVZ3P1d_JdUhn_nTbBQCLcBGAs/s320/10.%2BBuild%2BA%2BDragon.jpg" width="320" /></a>One of our favorite parts of the experience was the look at different cultures and animals from around the world. It was so interesting to see how the myths of dragons, mermaids, and more varied depending on the nature and history of a culture. It's a good lesson in how humans try to explain a new experience when they see or hear about something that is different than what they have always been accustomed to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns, & Mermaids will be at The Academy of Natural Sciences until June 9th. Visitors can save $2 on their ticket by purchasing them online ahead of time at ansp.org.</div>

Stine's GOOSEBUMPS: Phantom of the Auditorium! Based off of the book series, the show follows two children, Brooke and Zeke, as they try to rehearse for the school play. Things go a little off script however when they encounter what might be a phantom! The audience will get a kick out of watching the hilarious antics and spooky moments while the cast discovers if ghost stories are true or if someone is just playing a joke on them.</div>

GOOSEBUMPS is a great show for all ages with only the smallest bit of spookiness which is heavily balanced out with continuous doses of humor and lots of catchy songs. We always love our experiences at the historic Walnut Street Theatre and GOOSEBUMPS is no exception!</div>

Top notch shows and professional performers make their live theater experiences nothing short of endless entertainment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Running throughout the holiday season, adults and children will enjoy a timeless classic set to music in Roald Dahl's <i>Matilda the Musical. </i> Following the ups and downs and eventual triumph of a brave little girl with a huge and magical imagination (a role shared by Ellie Biron and Jemma Bleu Greenbaum), Matilda demonstrates what can happen when you refuse to let the problems in your life dictate who you can become. It's story of hope that has the audience leaving the theater more determined to see the good and make the good in their own lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W86QFI0UUJM/XBFaH-qEnCI/AAAAAAAAFS0/K7Sm2f5-cgg9SJ5v85-YyZbFIMV9uVSzQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_4163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W86QFI0UUJM/XBFaH-qEnCI/AAAAAAAAFS0/K7Sm2f5-cgg9SJ5v85-YyZbFIMV9uVSzQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_4163.JPG" width="320" /></a>Running through January 6th, <i>Matilda the Musical</i> is packed full from beginning to end with an unbelievable amount of talent. From a cast comprised largely of children and teenagers comes singing, dancing, and acting skills that are incredible and almost unbelievable at times! The sheer ability to not break character in moments that keep the audience howling was very impressive. The adults of the cast also shone as both worthy and unworthy characters with so much comedic energy that even Christopher Sutton and Lyn Philistine as Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood and Ian Merril Peakes as a truly unforgettable Miss Trunchbull were beloved to the audience. Heartfelt, heroic, and hysterical, <i>Matilda the Musical</i> is a must-see in Philadelphia this holiday season!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QQDNwg_886s/W8qALLmEPJI/AAAAAAAAFR0/ZcrhQE_pvG4ql-HKSK6qEDdMp2AJ5ZFuwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_3760.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="745" data-original-width="750" height="198" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QQDNwg_886s/W8qALLmEPJI/AAAAAAAAFR0/ZcrhQE_pvG4ql-HKSK6qEDdMp2AJ5ZFuwCLcBGAs/s200/IMG_3760.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Walnut Street Theatre for Kids kicked off its 2018/2019 season with a spirited and fun production of Aladdin Jr. - a version that has all the magic of the original story plus some extra twists and bonus characters. With a strong cast in both main and supporting roles, the young actors and actresses were able to bring to life the tale of a desperate boy and a determined princess and the ways their lives would intersect and change everything for the better. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aladdin Jr. focuses a little bit more on friendship and there is a more clear divide between the intents of the "good" and "bad" characters in a way that translates better to a younger audience. We were impressed with the singing chops of the actors (a stand out being the female harmonies in "These Palace Walls"), and were especially blown away by the added task given to the cast to act as their own stage crew. Every scene change was done seamlessly and the whole show had a great pace and flow to it. Aladdin Jr. seemed to be extremely well received by the enthusiastic audience, and everyone involved in the production should be very proud to have started off the season with such a bang.</div>

It's such a historic piece of Philadelphia and live theatre history in general. Being there and walking and sitting in a building that has housed such legendary actors and shows is a pure pleasure. We love that they are able to share this amazing history and passion for the stage with very young audiences through their Theatre for Kids program. The ticket prices are incredibly affordable and the shows are always highly entertaining for a wide range of ages. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">East Passyunk Flavors on the Ave is a Philadelphia street festival you do not want to miss! This exciting afternoon will feature over 20 participating restaurants, live music, shopping, and fun and games for kids and adults. What used to be a private under-the-tent event is now a festival that is free and open to the public! Take advantage of this great opportunity to sample $3-5 bits and specialty drinks, and start planning the list of places you want to revisit. This area of Philadelphia is full of the hottest authentic restaurants, each with unique flavors and ambiance you can instantly tell are created with passion and care.</span></div>

Or Fond, with the perfect mushroom soup. Blood orange margaritas from Cantina los Caballitos, or an ice cream sandwich from Vanilya Bakery, willgive you a taste of what East Passyunk has to offer. Stop in at any of the fun boutiques and find a treasure for your home, your pet, your child, or you! There is definitely something for everyone is this bubbling pocket of Philadelphia The community and vibrant culture of this area are worth the visit! </span></div>

The award winning program shares the basics of science in a way that children can understand and relate to with everyday places and problems becoming the basis for a new experiment or concept. Now the show is headed to the <b>Please Touch Museum</b> with the fun and interactive <i>Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TTx2_GZDyc0/WoNxT7wUovI/AAAAAAAAFO8/BMHe8N9JtcEPG4jm4W8i_niwp_Q9NQ0zACLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252860%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="486" data-original-width="750" height="207" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TTx2_GZDyc0/WoNxT7wUovI/AAAAAAAAFO8/BMHe8N9JtcEPG4jm4W8i_niwp_Q9NQ0zACLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252860%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first things that we noticed when checking out this exhibit was how huge it was! <i>Sid the Science Kid</i> is the biggest special exhibit to ever be hosted by the Please Touch Museum. With so much to do and experience, extra space had to be opened up and cleared out in order to fit all the different stations. The entire exhibit is science based, so while the little ones will still love all the sensory play (especially the indoor playground and the reading corner!), older kids will get the most out of the educational parts of the exhibit.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Np4DuvEjgLs/WoNxUaryxxI/AAAAAAAAFPI/Y_lG2anhZlsqUTUTgZBF1Sx8UtEzeAyEgCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252861%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="489" data-original-width="750" height="208" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Np4DuvEjgLs/WoNxUaryxxI/AAAAAAAAFPI/Y_lG2anhZlsqUTUTgZBF1Sx8UtEzeAyEgCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252861%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visitors are invited to explore Sid's world as he turns everyday moments and objects into easy experiments. We really enjoyed all the introductions to the scientific method - especially in the kitchen area where you can make predictions as to which jar will be heavier and then test your theory. While most areas test pure fun and creativity (like the toy catapult and using non-standard measurement), there is practical application as well like the station designed to demonstrate the importance of seat belts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had fantastic time exploring the whole exhibit and definitely recommend multiple visits to get the most out of how much there is to do and learn. From magnets and momentum to simple machines and pretend play, <i>Sid the Science Kid</i> is a wonderful way to introduce and dive deeper into STEM in a way that both younger and older kids will love. It's definitely a must-see for Philadelphia families this spring!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

With seasons so popular that seats are sold out months ahead of time, the Walnut Street Theatre is a cornerstone of the arts in Philadelphia. Along with the their Mainstage and Independence Studio on 3, the theatre also offers a variety of family-friendly shows throughout the year with their Walnut Street Theatre for Kids program. Daily Vacationer had the privilege to attend their current Theatre for Kids show, and we definitely had a great time!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
StinkyKids: The Musical is based off of the popular StinkyKids book series by author Britt Menzies and follows the adventures of a girl and her group of friends as they deal with such issues as friendship, sharing, and trying not to disappoint their parents. The show takes these problems that all children deal with and throws in fun musical numbers to help tell the story and let the characters work through things. Unfortunately for main character Britt, she has a big problem in this particular story as a wad of gum has gotten stuck in her hair as a result of not listening to her parents. Will her and her friends be able to figure it out on their own, or will she have to tell her parents the truth and risk not being allowed to go to Captain Happy's Jumpy-Fun-Super-Bouncy Indoor Palace (a place the children speak about in excited reverence with a hysterical running gag).</div>

With different interests, personalities, and ways of reacting to the same thing, the Stinky Kids cover a huge variety of possible problems and ways to solve them as well as lots of good times and all the many ways to enjoy them. The numbers are frequent and enjoyable (and cover such topics as "You're Not Gunna Get In Trouble" and "Maybe This is a Mistake") with the show moving along at a perfect pace for ages K - 6th (although we saw plenty of audience members both older and younger having a great time!). One of our favorite parts of the show, besides the believability of the cast, was the discernible difference between intentional misbehavior and kids just being kids as well as the realistic portrayal of the consequences that come with either one.</div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just thirty minutes from the bustle of Philadelphia, Glencairn Museum provides an idyllic and serene setting to appreciate the beauty of the Christmas season. Built in the 1930’s, Glencairn was the family home of Raymond Pitcairn’s family. In 1980, it was converted into a museum where visitors can now see an extensive collection of religious art and enjoy learning about the family who once lived in this beautiful home. </span></div>

During the 45 minute tour, our knowledgeable guide showed us the family’s favorite Christmas table decorations, described how the huge table took up much of the great hall, and led us upstairs to see the beautiful master bedroom – complete with Mrs. Pitcairn’s favorite Christmas dress. Along the way our guide also pointed out stained glass windows related to the Christmas story and talked about some of the family’s ornate and beautiful nativity sets. Taking the elevator up to the tower was one of the tour’s highlights! The enclosed tower room was nice and warm, while its glass walls allowed us to have a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Every wall, ceiling, and window offers something new and interesting to see on this fascinating journey, so we can understand why booking your tour reservation in advance is highly recommended!</span></div>

The collection of nativities from around the world is stunning in its diversity and detail, with many cultures and styles of art represented. The “Do you See What I See?” display shows examples from around the world of how different people in the Christmas story have been represented through art. The scale and beauty of the museum’s main rooms offer a sense of peace and rest as visitors make their way around the exhibits. </span></div>

Our tour guide made sure to point out objects of interest to the elementary-aged children in our group, and also took the time to discuss what life was like for the children growing up in this home. Riding the elevator up to the tower is sure to be a favorite as well! We even learned that the Pitcairn’s grandchildren used to come over after school and do their homework up in the tower. Young visitors will also delight in completing the Word Nativities seek-and-find challenge, and they will even receive a prize for filling out their papers correctly (don’t worry – a friendly staff member is available to give hints if needed!) Children are sure to enjoy the immense level of detail in the many nativity sets, and if they look under the Christmas tree they’ll even find a few sets they can play with.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Now in its 10th anniversary season, Christmas Village in Philadelphia's Love Park is fun way to join in the holiday spirit, and experience a market unlike all the rest! Christmas Village is an authentic German Christmas market, full of food and vendors that are unique, bringing a European flavor to this park in the heart of Philadelphia. From traditional German Bratwurst and wooden nesting dolls, to Belgian style waffles and handmade hats and scarves, there is a ton to experience! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><b>With so many reasons to visit the Christmas Village, we put together a list of our favorites:</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">1. Entertainment - the village has a constant schedule of free holiday music and dance performances, children's story times, tours, and concerts. There is something for every age group, at various times and days throughout the holiday season. We love the traditional German events, like the visit from St. Nikolaus, who fills the children's boots with treats, and the bratwurst eating contest! Or come for HoHo Happy Hour on Wednesdays, and stick around for live music and entertainment on the stage.</span></div>

2. Food! Our favorites include the Baked Cheese House, and <span style="color: #272727; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Helmut's Original Austrian Strudel. We also enjoyed visiting The Truffleist for a taste of truffle honey, and </span><span style="color: #272727; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">TorchBearer Sauces for some awesome tasty condiments. Also check out C</span><span style="color: #272727; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">hocoidea to see chocolate in shapes you would not have imagined! Chocolate bottle cap, anyone? And of course the bratwurst is worth a try! Top it off with mulled wine from Chaddsford winery, or a cup of hot cocoa on a souvenir mug!</span></span><span class="m_342621943557389945gmail-Apple-converted-space" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #272727; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span></div>

3. Shopping! A European market brings lots of unique treasures. We loved hand blown glass ornaments, the beautifully carved wooden figures and toys, and the tiny houses. If you are looking for something special to bring some holiday charm to your house, definitely check out the over 80 market vendors, as well as the traditional German gift shop located in the middle of the park. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
ASH Theater Company is a Philadelphia-based non-profit organization that strives to entertain and uplift its audience while fostering relationships and meaningful experiences for its students. This month, ASH Theater takes a trip through the silly and stupendous world of famous children's author, Dr. Seuss, with the <i>Seussical</i>. This fun packed musical borrows from various Seuss books and twists them all up with catchy songs, memorable moments, and beloved story characters come to life.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yhrGHtSPSv0/WetCGRN6y_I/AAAAAAAAFMQ/N4SdhdU3izEyb3YAdfhVxZ3Ae6TVQ-2JgCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252850%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="750" height="315" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yhrGHtSPSv0/WetCGRN6y_I/AAAAAAAAFMQ/N4SdhdU3izEyb3YAdfhVxZ3Ae6TVQ-2JgCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252850%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The plot is propelled along by the mostly mischievous Cat and the Hat who is able to communicate with both the audience and the other actors on stage. Not only that, but he is also able to take on other personas in a flash to fill the roles of a cheeky extra soldier, or a circus ringleader, or even a Dr. Strangelove-ish bird doctor. He is quirky, quick witted, takes great delight in poking fun at the other characters, and the audience just loves him. The Cat in the Hat's ridiculous nature is best seen at the beginning of the Act 2 when the curtain opens to just him dancing all on his own for awhile - obviously taking great pleasure in the mess he's been able to contrive on stage so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U7Rg5daLJFU/WetCGQeF37I/AAAAAAAAFMU/hvbymChmQ2MMhafE5BUeUbpjCelAJveLgCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252851%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="744" data-original-width="750" height="317" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U7Rg5daLJFU/WetCGQeF37I/AAAAAAAAFMU/hvbymChmQ2MMhafE5BUeUbpjCelAJveLgCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252851%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><i>Seussical</i> has a assortment of other wonderful characters including Horton the Elephant who bravely takes on both his stories and tries to save all the Whos living on their speck, as well as take care of an egg abandoned by an irresponsible bird. Not only does he remain faithful 100% and is rewarded with friendship and love in the end, but his astounding singing voice rings of absolute sincerity every time he is on stage. We never tired of hearing Horton's impressive vocals. Other cast standouts for us was the Jungle of Nool's Sour Kangaroo who had quite the powerful voice (we didn't get to hear her as often as other characters, but when she was there, she owned the stage!), We also enjoyed JoJo, the little thinker from Whoville, both Gertrude McFuzz and Mayzie La Bird, and General Genghis Khan Schmitz.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The entire production was a delight to experience with a creative approach to set and costumes (don't think we didn't catch the Wickersham Brothers sporting Planet of the Apes and Donkey Kong tees). We also appreciated sounds of the live orchestra that set the mood as the songs jumped to different tunes like the inspiring O<i>h, the Things You Can Think</i> to the heart breaking <i>Solla Sollew</i>. Funny, thoughtful, and entertaining through and through, <i>Seussical</i> is a show with something for everyone.</div>

Happy Hauntings at Dutch Wonderland is a great way to explore the "kingdom for kids" during the fall season! Especially during mild weather, Dutch Wonderland is a comfortable park to walk around and enjoy some fall flavor and decorations while catching your favorite rides or even trying new ones! <br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
And if the rides and attractions are not enough, kids will enjoy dressing up and receiving treats on the dinosaur trail and checking out the dinosaurs themselves, appropriately decked out for the season. A couple of pieces of candy and stickers go a long way to make the line for a ride go quick! We especially enjoyed the car and boat rides on Exploration Island that highlighted some fun scenes, and catching another view of the dressed up dinosaurs!</div>

The Merlin the Great show featured some very dedicated and talented characters, and was a nice break from the rides. We also enjoyed the variety of rides that are good for all ages and can be enjoyed together, especially the train or monorail that give you a nice view of the entire park. </div>

All of the staff we encountered were helpful and positive, and we really appreciated conveniently located restrooms and benches. Nothing felt too far or cumbersome. This is a park that truly is fun for the whole family, and is just the right size for enjoying in an afternoon and evening this fall! Wear a costume and enjoy your time at Dutch Wonderland's Happy Hauntings.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University has a new special exhibit now open through January 15, 2018, and we think it's the perfect mix of fascinating facts and interactive displays during the colder months of Philadelphia. We were recently invited out to take a look, and we definitely plan on going back again! The new exhibit, Tiny Titans: Dinosaur Eggs and Babies, explores the beginning and early stages in a dinosaur's life with a close examination of dino eggs, embryos, and babies with something new to learn in every corner.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tiny Titans includes real dinosaur eggs and nests from all over the world giving visitors a better understanding at how shape and size differed among the various species. Each display is accompanied by loads of amazing information, and we found ourselves picking up quite a lot of new dinosaur facts. The entire exhibit is interactive making it a hands on learning experience for all ages.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Daily Vacationer Jr</span> <span style="color: #ffd966;">says:</span></b> Tiny Titans is a fantastic exhibit to bring kids! Nearly every part was labeled "Please Touch" with curious hands allowed to feel real dinosaur eggs, nests, and fossils (we were even allowed to touch the baby dinosaurs!). There are multiple spots to play paleontologist and dig for bones, plus a fun area with toy dinos to move around. Our little vacationers had the most fun in the dress up area, getting themselves rigged up into dinosaur costumes and protecting their pretend eggs. With a low key, relaxing set up and hands on fun in every section, Tiny Titans is the place to bring the family on those cold or rainy days.</b></div>

Daily Vacationer headed over recently to check everything out firsthand, and, as always, we had a great time! Every time we visit, we are always blown away with not only the amount of things there are to do around the farm, but also how helpful and friendly the staff continues to be. It's no wonder that Johnson's <a href="https://johnsonsfarm.com/family-activities/discovery-barnyard/discovery-barnyard-season-pass/" target="_blank">Season Passes</a> are one of the most common memberships families in the area purchase year after year.</div>

Right now the daily hayrides are headed out to the apple orchards and the pumpkin fields for some fun pick your own experiences (with broccoli, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes to look forward to in November), while the market and bakery is teeming full of seasonal goods and goodies. It's the time of year when you can definitely feel fall in the air, but you can still take a refreshing turn through the Splash Pad and savor the treats at the Ice Cream Window.</div>

The Discovery Barnyard is still as fun as ever with playgrounds for every age, various sand areas, different sizes go cart tracks, and lots of fun and games tucked into every corner. The Animal Farm area is included in the Discovery Barnyard Admission, and we love feeding the goats, sheep, chickens, and cows! Gem Mining is also available on the farm, and this is an activity that we highly recommend for kids of all ages.</div>

During the weekends, Johnson's Corner Farm gets even better with live music and even more good eats at their weekly Harvest Festivals (through Oct 29th including Columbus Day). The Corn Maze is also open Saturdays and Sundays with lots of twisty fun for all ages. Make sure to check out the Harvest Gift Shop for festive decor and seasonal knickknacks (as a bonus, stop in the toy section of the Market to get a head start on that holiday gift list!).</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Lulu's Casita is an indoor playspace and healthy cafe geared for ages 0-5 to explore and learn through fun and games. A well-known spot in the area for safe and enjoyable self-lead play, Lulu's Casita is also a prime location for hosted parties and birthdays, as well as fantastic events. Daily Vacationer Jr had heard lots of great reviews on this spot and finally got the chance to see it ourselves during their recent Moana Luau Fiesta - so much fun!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;">We arrived and were instructed to remove our shoes as per the location's rules. We were then free to play in their extensive indoor areas and help ourselves to some yummy snacks while we waited for the guest of honor to arrive. I</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">t's a busy play space with various activities for children of all ages and stages- a ball pit, slide, ride on toys, train table, tent, dress up, etc! (Our vacationers particularly enjoyed the ball pit and the train table and spent a lot of time there).</span></div>

She took pictures with everyone (even the adults), answered questions about Maui, and even sang her famous song. Moana also joined the children making their special event craft: a luau necklace (or headband or bracelet as some children wore it!) before posing for even more photos. It was a wonderful and relaxed event for everyone. We definitely see why so many people recommend Lulu's Casita for both open play and special events!</span></div>

But more and more, Old City is a place to stay and hang around after 5pm</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">! Old City Eats is a great way to explore the area and the myriad of drinking and dining options, many in unique and fun settings. Interested in a bar with 120 bottles of wine - on tap? Try a 5 wine tasting paired with a gold and red beet salad at Panorama. Love a cozy British atmosphere with some unique twists on England's classics? Go for a blue cheese stuffed date wrapped in bacon at The Victoria Freehouse. Or, aim for classic American comfort food in a relaxing and fun atmosphere at JJ Bootleggers, where you can enjoy a giant game of jenga while sipping one of their many moonshine flavors, straight from Gatlinburg, TN. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The unique architecture and buildings of Old City create spaces that bring out the best in a bar and restaurant - owners and chefs that lend their talents to envelope you in an experience the minute you walk in the door. From Indian food at Karma (try the chicken 64!), to light fare at Continental, there is something for everyone in this neighborhood. The beauty of Old City Eats is being able to explore new places and foods at an affordable cost. 30 restaurants offer discounted drink and appetizer specials during hours. Once you try a place or two, this neighborhood will be a go-to place for Thursday nights through August 31st</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This summer, immaturity returns to Port Discovery Children’s Museum! The new KLUTZ Amazingly Immature exhibit is based on the KLUTZ Encyclopedia vol. 1 and 2. There are 18 interactive activities that allow school age children (and any young minded adults) to discover some of the most basic laws of science with ordinary objects and lots of good fun. For, example, visitors to the museum can construct superfast airplanes out of paper and then launch them into air-all the while learning about aerodynamics!</div>

Children have a natural curiosity for their surroundings, and they are open to multiple uses for everyday tools. What child hasn’t desired to use their plastic spoon as a catapult? Well, at this exhibit, no care giver needs to worry about chastising their kid for being “silly”. Why, if silly isn’t happening, then you are in the wrong place!</div>

The best part of this creative exhibit is that it allows one to have fun while learning about science. As parents, we strive to find new and exciting venues for our children to be awakened to the hidden truths that lie just beneath the surface of natural phenomena. At Port Discovery, only till September 4th, families and friends can come and make memories while having a solid educational experience. Are you Amazingly Immature?</div>

This summer, Art Splash is focusing on the museum’s exhibit of Wild, a wildlife photo exhibit by Michael “Nick” Nichols.</div>

See the chart below to see what you can expect when you go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
July 25 – August 6: Climb [Monkey see, monkey do. Watch for climbing critters.]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
August 8 – August 20: Fly [Get a bird’s-eye view and soar through the treetops.]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
August 22 – September 4: Play [Meet animal families who love, share, and stick together.]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(When we went, we got to explore prowling.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our visit began with a walk through the Wild exhibit. The photography was very striking, and we learned more about certain photos through the audio guide that was handed out. Most of photos had adult tracks, but there were about 15 photos that had information geared towards kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HjUnrPQU24Y/WZ3DHiuX1LI/AAAAAAAAFIk/BlraEUIQIQ4GGve2ssfD0w6ob6eXygNkQCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252840%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="750" height="196" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HjUnrPQU24Y/WZ3DHiuX1LI/AAAAAAAAFIk/BlraEUIQIQ4GGve2ssfD0w6ob6eXygNkQCLcBGAs/s200/FullSizeRender%2B%252840%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a>Then it was off to Art Splash. We were greeted by a friendly worker who walked us through what our craft for that day would be. We got to make landscapes using rubbing mats, crayons, and markers. Then, to get the prowl aspect, we added footprints! The open-ended craft was enjoyed by all of us, from age 2 to 32. After our craft, we explore the book nook where we could read storybooks about animals like the ones we had seen in the exhibit. It was a nice space to sit and get cozy in the museum, especially after having to keep our hands to ourselves during the exhibit. There was also building blocks and a magnet sticker wall for more hands-on exploration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It was a great way to remember our time in Art Splash. Art Splash runs from now until September 4, 10:00 am until 5:00 pm. As always, admission for kids 12 and under is free.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We recently rode along with <a href="http://dailyvacationblog.blogspot.com/2017/07/philadelphia-sightseeing-tours.html" target="_blank">Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours</a>, learning loads about the city that we love so much and having the chance to see things from a new perspective atop their big double decker buses. It was super convenient and a ton of fun! We really enjoyed ourselves and would do it all again any day. Later, when we putting together our follow up piece on our experience, we were excited to discover that Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours also offers a Twilight Night Tour. Same route except during the evening as the summer sun sets. We immediately moved some things around on our schedule and headed out again to the see the sights!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CkgqWhCyB3Q/WXIpeEwMaRI/AAAAAAAAFGE/0OQme4Thl8o5nZVRiHwLxp47-vQ9FchFACLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252825%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="750" height="312" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CkgqWhCyB3Q/WXIpeEwMaRI/AAAAAAAAFGE/0OQme4Thl8o5nZVRiHwLxp47-vQ9FchFACLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252825%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Twilight Tour leaves from outside Reading Terminal Market on 12th and Market, putting you within an easy walking distance of some of the city's best restaurants and eateries to grab a bite or linger over a meal before the tour leaves at 8pm. Guests can choose to sit inside the bus or up on top, with the most popular choice being to climb the stairs and sit on the open deck and really get a good view of everything. We suggest bringing a sweater or jacket - even on a hot day, the continuous breeze can get chilly as the sun goes down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tour itself was well-timed with the fading daylight including a look at Fairmount and the Museum's District explored right when there is still enough sun to see the details of the monuments and farther away buildings. The Twilight Tour doesn't have the hop-on-hop-off stops offered during the day, but they did give us a few minutes at dusk in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to climb the famous Rocky Steps and gaze down the Parkway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T5rpgAz9ij4/WXIpdZI-3sI/AAAAAAAAFF8/3JKd7MBCtQIqlQPCn5UyZ8a7Yt6bGrRRgCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252823%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="584" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T5rpgAz9ij4/WXIpdZI-3sI/AAAAAAAAFF8/3JKd7MBCtQIqlQPCn5UyZ8a7Yt6bGrRRgCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252823%2529.jpg" width="253" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the sun faded completely, it was the perfect time to drive past the well-lit skyscrapers of Center City, see the huge lobby of the Comcast Building, and admire the spotlights pointed at William Penn up on City Hall. We turned down Broad Street and made our way through the Avenue of the Arts getting the full effect of the Wilma Theater's neon lights and the gas lamps of the Merriam Theater. We braved the low branches in the quiet streets of Old City before slowing down to get a good look at the beautiful lights on the Independence Seaport Museum ships and hanging from the trees at Spruce Street Harbor Park.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hEWNVFzWOdw/WXIptuWEggI/AAAAAAAAFGI/hayJ_lUMR4kWDPa8ClbQ6MKuvZAn5UJbQCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252822%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="603" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hEWNVFzWOdw/WXIptuWEggI/AAAAAAAAFGI/hayJ_lUMR4kWDPa8ClbQ6MKuvZAn5UJbQCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252822%2529.jpg" width="270" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The whole tour is about an hour and a half, and we have a to give major props to our guide for keeping a running commentary of fascinating Philly facts going the entire time (as well at the driver for safely passing through tiny streets without hitting anything!). Having experienced both the daytime and nighttime version of the tour, we would have a tough time picking which is our favorite. While the daytime offers the opportunity to get off and on at different points of interest, we really enjoyed the relaxing, post-dinner Twilight Tour around town as well.</div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eUOznWeOve0/WW9z2eikTAI/AAAAAAAAFFo/KXcupr1MiIE5pvp1nvuhTsHYiPBwt8E7wCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252818%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="742" data-original-width="750" height="316" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eUOznWeOve0/WW9z2eikTAI/AAAAAAAAFFo/KXcupr1MiIE5pvp1nvuhTsHYiPBwt8E7wCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252818%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a>This summer, The Franklin Institute has been privileged to be the very first travel destination for a brand new special exhibit put together by the Museum of Science and Industry Chicago. This exhibit takes the everyday things we see out in the world and brings them under the microscope to examine their exquisite natural patterns. Mirror Maze: Numbers in Nature not only allows visitors to look closely at different kinds of patterns from different angles with a room full of interactive screens and displays, but it also invites them to step directly into one with the astounding 1700-square foot maze!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3fXm_OED9Ic/WW9z2bpjnZI/AAAAAAAAFFk/d2jlq5j_d-osYkW6wOo2jwSIuDjfCgWwgCLcBGAs/s1600/FullSizeRender%2B%252820%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="489" data-original-width="750" height="208" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3fXm_OED9Ic/WW9z2bpjnZI/AAAAAAAAFFk/d2jlq5j_d-osYkW6wOo2jwSIuDjfCgWwgCLcBGAs/s320/FullSizeRender%2B%252820%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We often think of patterns as man-made or simple accidental sequences, but the amazing truth is that the natural world is a design made up of uniform shapes and angles that seem almost surreal the more one is aware of them. From honeycombs and dragonfly wings to fans of coral and spots on giraffes, the mathematical patterns are both precise and beautiful. Every part of the exhibit is factually fascinating as well just plain fun to interact with. There is a futuristic feel to the touchscreens and the layout that juxtapose nicely with the natural elements on display. We really enjoyed the whole thing and spent a lot of time at each station.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jlPqvZLMC8k/WW9ay1xW3GI/AAAAAAAAFFc/x5A1EUd_fkUQT2xKOBmLzQMwZjH-_PhaACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_8998.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1065" data-original-width="1600" height="212" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jlPqvZLMC8k/WW9ay1xW3GI/AAAAAAAAFFc/x5A1EUd_fkUQT2xKOBmLzQMwZjH-_PhaACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_8998.JPG" width="320" /></a>Obviously, the biggest draw of the exhibit is the Mirror Maze itself. Quick Tip: Don't go too quickly or you will discovered what a bird feels like when it hits a window. (We now know why it is so hard to catch the bad guy in all those movies when they wander in a fun house during a chase.) With the angled set up of the mirrors, everyone's reflections seem to be everywhere at once or suddenly no where depending on where they are standing. For awhile we thought we were following a guy in front of us, who suddenly stepped out behind us! Added to the maze are extra exhibit facts and finds that only show up if you happen to wander close enough to where they are. The whole Mirror Maze is loads of fun and best experienced with someone else to venture in with you.</div>

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HO0Lb5R255U/WWZ93NPAAlI/AAAAAAAAFFI/iCU5djoCZEQHqRQdgkSLjJJa-bTKzzupACLcBGAs/s1600/ptm2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="750" height="234" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HO0Lb5R255U/WWZ93NPAAlI/AAAAAAAAFFI/iCU5djoCZEQHqRQdgkSLjJJa-bTKzzupACLcBGAs/s320/ptm2.jpg" width="320" /></a>How often do we wish we could step between the covers of a good book and spend a day within its pages? We read and reread the stories, setting the characters into motion along beloved plot lines and through familiar settings, thinking how fun it would be to tag along beside them. Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites, the current special exhibit at the Please Touch Museum, allows visitors to do just that with some of the most cherished children's books found in libraries, on nursery shelves, and open on caregivers' laps all over the world.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LHN1JsChCsc/WWZ921H8tCI/AAAAAAAAFFA/IYPPFyvvFSkpVpnk9-3C5el0VEoe0NnAQCLcBGAs/s1600/ptm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="727" data-original-width="750" height="310" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LHN1JsChCsc/WWZ921H8tCI/AAAAAAAAFFA/IYPPFyvvFSkpVpnk9-3C5el0VEoe0NnAQCLcBGAs/s320/ptm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Delighted kids (and delighted parents - let's face it) will be thrilled with the fun and hands on approach to Storyland with timeless favorites like <i>Peter Rabbit </i>and <i>The Snowy Day</i> coming to life with vegetable gardens to explore and paths of snow to crunch in. The sing-song lines of <i>Chicka Chiicka Boom Boom</i> become even more fun when you help to send the letters up to the top of the coconut tree (with lessons about the alphabet thrown in to boot!). Each book gets its own unique area as you jump from exploring New York City with <i>Abuela </i>to making mischief in the kitchen of <i>If You Give a Mouse a Cookie</i>. We also loved how the each part managed to capture the feel of the book it was meant to represent like the hushed tones of <i>Tuesday</i> where the images tell most of the story to the simple boardbook-esque blocks of <i>Where's Spot</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oX2n9oxdLCo/WWZ926vx1GI/AAAAAAAAFE8/3lOo70oKTJgO2ag3TGYYvJ9-eStgLIB9wCLcBGAs/s1600/ptm1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="741" data-original-width="657" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oX2n9oxdLCo/WWZ926vx1GI/AAAAAAAAFE8/3lOo70oKTJgO2ag3TGYYvJ9-eStgLIB9wCLcBGAs/s320/ptm1.jpg" width="283" /></a>Every area of Storyland had not only the actual book to reference and many sections directly from the story's pages, but also a little bit more added for pure fun. Our favorite parts included climbing the huge letters of the <i>Chicka Chicka Boom Boom </i>beach, listening to all the different languages singing together on <i>Abuela's </i>city tour, wandering among Mr. McGregor's giant vegetables, and following in Peter's footsteps as he explored <i>The Snowy Day. </i>Storyland is also a bilingual exhibit with everything available in English and Spanish. There's also lots of early learning concepts to practice and have fun with!</div>

The more we saw them zipping around, the more we so wanted to be up on their top level getting a completely new and unique view of the city. In just about every temperature and weather, we have seen at least a handful of people braving the cold, heat, or rain sitting up above everyone else. Needless to say, we were thrilled when Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours gave us the opportunity to check out just why this particular bus tour is so appealing.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Tours begin in front of the Historic Bourse Building on Independence Mall. Same day tickets are often available for purchase, but we strongly advise buying them in advance through the Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours <a href="https://www.philadelphiasightseeingtours.com/bus-tours">website</a> to be guaranteed a spot. Guests have the option of One-, Two-, or Three-Day Passes which get you all the knowledge about the city and its points of interest that your tour guides have plus convenient hop-on-hop-off transportation around Center City. They also offer a Twilight Philly Night Tour (next on our list for sure!).</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Driving around with Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours was a fantastic and convenient way to hit all the highlights. The route covers 16 miles of Philadelphia, providing guests access to 100+ attractions including spots in the Historic District like Elfreth's Alley and The Betsy Ross House, places in the Museums District such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Eastern State Penitentiary, and the attractions down by the Delaware River Waterfront. One of our favorite of the 27 stops was right under the Beautiful Chinatown Friendship Gate.</span></span></div>

He offered not only historic information but quirky and interesting Philly facts, like pointing out the "I see dead people...." house used in the filming of M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense". He was also a wealth of knowledge about the city's eateries, ice cream shops, and even a legendary speakeasy. With the breeze in our hair and the streets of Philadelphia below us, we paid close attention (especially when he called out "Duck, Duck, Goose!" to alert us of any low hanging branches!).</span></div>

We now see why these bright red buses are so popular! Riding atop a double decker bus gives a great view of all the sites with a comprehensive 90-minute tour of Center City, and we loved the hop-on-hop-off option for making it super easy to take a closer look at any historic site, museum, or point of interest!</span></span></div>
