Playtime has only begun. Back in the city, Franklin Square is a Philadelphia classic, brimming with fountains, playgrounds, mini golf and even a carousel. historicphiladelphia.org/franklin-square

ONE LIBERTY OBSERVATION DECK

DINNER

Washington Square dining is truly one of a kind. Or any kind. Whatever cuisine you’re craving, you’ll find the best of it.

GHOST TOUR

Rumor has it, some of our Founding Fathers never left. See who’s still haunting the streets by candlelight. ghosttour.com/philadelphia
