Adventure Aquarium
A rainy day is a perfect time to head out to the
aquarium, just across the river in Camden. Kids can
explore underwater life, especially the new “Piranha
Falls” exhibit, which dives into the Amazonian species
through multisensory experiences, virtually flowing down
the Amazon River and into the largest rainforest on Earth.
IF YOU GO:
1 Riverside Drive, Camden, N.J. • 844-474-3474
adventureaquarium.com (One-day general admission starts at
$28 for visitors 13 and up, and $21 for those 2 to 12.)
Phillies As simple the idea of going to a ballgame is, kids can spend the
day getting their fill of hotdogs and popcorn, plus who doesn’t
love the Phillie Phanatic?
IF YOU GO:
Citizens Bank Park • philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/phi/ballpark/
(Home games vary. Tickets start at $20 per person.)
Please Touch Museum
What’s more kid-friendly than this museum? A new exhibit is
running until Sept. 10 that is sure is please your bibliophile babies.
Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites! explores interac-
tive scenes from kid classics, including The Tale of Peter Rabbit,
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, The Snowy Day and If You Give a
Mouse a Cookie.
IF YOU GO:
4231 Avenue of the Republic • 215-581-3181
Escape the Room
Have you ever gotten to the point where you just
need to, um, lock your kid in his or her room? Well
now’s your chance! Small detail: You’ll be locked in
with them. While this idea is best for older children (while
supervised), escape rooms are the recent craze, putting groups of
10 in a locked room for one hour. The group has to solve a series
of puzzles and riddles in order to escape. (Don’t worry, even if you
don’t solve the puzzle they let you out ... eventually.)
IF YOU GO:
1528 Walnut St. • 267-603-4355

If you need a bit more space than an enclosed room, Smith
