Om
Hurtige fakta: A 42-foot walk-through heart lets you hear amplified heartbeats and feel piston-like chambers, turning anatomy into an oddly theatrical, hands-on lesson. Interactive labs and lightning-fast physics demos pair with a dome theater that wraps you in immersive visuals and bone-rattling sound.
Højdepunkter: A 20-foot marble statue of Benjamin Franklin sits under a glowing domed rotunda, sunlight pooling on carved features and marble cool under your palm. On select Friday nights a 'Science After Hours' series invites 21+ crowds for DJs, themed cocktails, and hands-on demos that transform corridors into a buzzing late-night lab.
Insidertips
- Buy timed-entry tickets online and reserve planetarium show seats to avoid sold-out sessions.
- Arrive at opening, because galleries are quieter and live demos have smaller lines.
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light layer for the planetarium and air-conditioned galleries.
- Skip peak lunch times by eating before noon or after 2 pm, or grab quick food at the museum cafe.

Har du hørt om gratis gåture?
Efter at have rejst til over 30 lande, er der én ting, jeg ville ønske, nogen havde fortalt mig fra dag ét, og det ændrede fuldstændigt, hvordan jeg oplever nye byer.
Gratis gåture. Ja, faktisk gratis. Ingen kreditkort nødvendigt. Ingen fangst.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timer
Store seværdigheder, skjulte perler, lokale historier
100% drikkepengebaseret
Guider tjener kun drikkepenge, så de giver deres absolut bedste
Du giver drikkepenge efter eget valg
Til sidst giver du bare drikkepenge, som du synes er passende
Jeg har prøvet disse i dusinvis af byer, og de har været højdepunktet på næsten alle ture. Hvis du besøger Philadelphia, United States, så gør dette på din første dag. Du vil takke mig senere.
