| Plenty of things to do! I can't even begin to list them all. Don't miss the Franklin Institute Science Museum. You can visit the Academy of Natural Sciences (dinosaurs, etc!) which is just a block away. The new National Constitution Center, along with the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and all the other historic sights at that end of town. Also, the Lights of Liberty tour. Shopping is not great in center city, but go to Manayunk (a city neighborhood) for interesteing shops and restaurants. Shopping is also good on Germantown Ave in the Chestnut Hill section, but less funky than Manayunk. Of course, in the suburbs, you can buy anything you ever wanted at the two malls in King of Prussia, which is on the way the Valley Forge Park. The Art Museum for adults.The Barnes Foundation, just outside the city. Well, others have already written guide books. It just depends on what you like to see and do. There's also tons to do outside the city, such as the Brandywine River Museum (Wyeth paintings)and lots of public gardens that are fabulous. There are more wonderful restaurants than you can ever get to in one lifetime. If you are a foodie, you will like the Reading Terminal Market. October is a great time to visit.
