The Old City Waterfront: A Family Walking Tour

Most Philadelphia visitors and residents have visited Old City's standard historical sites: the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's Print Shop, Betsy Ross' House, and so on. What many people don't realize, however, is how much more there is to see just a few blocks away on Old City's waterfront. Clocking in at less than a mile of walking, this tour might seem short. But with a museum, two boats, a memorial park and more to explore, it's a great way for a family to fill an afternoon.
