FIND FREEDOM
Step into the heart of the American Revolution at Independence Hall, where you’ll stand in the very room where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were signed. Tours bring the past vividly to life, making it a can’t-miss stop for groups of all sizes. For a deeper dive, visit the National Constitution Center, an interactive museum where rotating exhibits and immersive presentations connect past struggles with modern-day issues.
This trio of landmarks anchors Independence National Historical Park, a historic district where costumed interpreters, preserved 18th-century buildings, and leafy brick-lined streets evoke the spirit of 1776. Groups also can explore Franklin Court, the site of Benjamin Franklin’s home and print shop, now featuring a multimedia museum dedicated to the city’s most famous inventor.
EAT HEARTY
You can’t leave Philly without trying a cheesesteak—and locals will happily debate who does it best. Classic choices include Pat’s King of Steaks and Geno’s, facing off across East Passyunk Avenue. For a broader taste of Philly’s culinary culture, head to the historic Reading Terminal Market. From Amish baked goods and soul food to international specialties, this indoor market offers something for every palate.
TAKE IN ART
Climb the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and strike your best Rocky pose—then head inside to explore a world-class collection spanning ancient to contemporary works. The museum is just one of many cultural gems along Benjamin Franklin Parkway, often called “Philadelphia’s Champs-Élysées.” When the sun goes down, stroll South Street, the city’s most eclectic mile—packed with quirky boutiques and vintage record stores perfect for browsing.
CHEER LOUD
Sports aren’t just games in Philadelphia—they’re a way of life. And the capital of Philly fandom is the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, the plot of land all the city’s major pro teams call home. Whether your group is tailgating before an Eagles game, cheering on the Phillies, or catching the 76ers and Flyers, they can expect contagious energy and fierce loyalty. Stadium tours and team-themed group packages are available year-round.
