Sightseeing
Suburban Square is our favorite go-to area for a fun and eventful afternoon. There is a lawn that often hosts many family oriented events and pop-up picnics. It is about a 10 minute drive or 20 minute walk from our home. There is an abundance of free parking available as well.
There are a ton of popular stores including Nike, Sephora, Starbucks, Urban Outfitters, West Elm, and many more! We also recommend a few restaurants at Suburban, which you can find in our food guide :)

City/town information
Philly is a vibrant city with so much to do! We recommend going to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and seeing Love Park in Center City!
Accessible via the SEPTA Regional Rail (RR) at Haverford Station Rd which is within walking distance. It is a very straight forward trip to 30th Street, Suburban Station, or Jefferson Station, which takes about 25 minutes.
Taking the train is definitely recommend since good parking is often harder to find in the city.
