Weekend Picks: Avoid the Rain

Thursday November 12, 2009

reading terminal market
Visit Reading Terminal Market this weekend for forgotten foods.

According to CBS3's Doug Kammerer, we're in the middle of a good ol' nor'easter right now, which means we'll be seeing this rain and dreary whether for most of the weekend. Here are some weekend picks that'll keep you inside:

Friday: Body Worlds 2
The original exhibition of stripped-down and preserved human bodies is back at the Franklin Institute, this time with brains. Tickets for the 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. slot are only $18 as opposed to the regular $27, so go spend your happy hour learning about human anatomy.

Saturday: Festival of Forgotten Foods
From 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Saturday, head to Reading Terminal Market to taste forgotten Philadelphia foods like teaberry ice cream and snapper soup.

Sunday: Train Festival
The skies are supposed to finally clear up on Sunday and forecasts are calling for temperatures in the mid-60s - get outside! If you have a rail-loving wee one, spend that outside time at the Train Festival in the Camden Children's Garden.

Not enough fun for you? Find more things to do on the November Events Calendar.
