I live just outside of Philly. The Franklin Institute is having a Cleopatra exhibit until january. Art museum is free on Sunday. Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square if you are into flowers. Reading Terminal Market right across from Convention Center...you name it, they got it. An hour or so drive gets you to Amish country. Cape May NJ has beautiful Victorian houses. The zoo is awesome. Independence Hall, the US mint, Chinatown, Franklin Mills outlet mall, be sure to hit Burlington Coat Factory, they always have great bargains.
