What to do and see in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Game & Entertainment Centers

October 3, 2021 Marissa Gamble

One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Bury The Hatchet Philadelphia - Axe Throwing

*Hours subject to change* Competitive axe throwing is a well known Canadian past time that's becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Simply put, it's like playing a game of darts, except with axes! At Bury The Hatchet you'll experience the thrill of launching an axe at a wooden target in a safe and fun environment. You and your best mates will spend two hours becoming intimate with a 1.5lb piece of whirling wood and metal as you learn, practice, and then finally square off toe-to-toe in a group tournament.

Terror Behind The Walls

Reviewed By abbiew982 - Otley, United Kingdom

We visited Terror Behind the Walls on our recent family trip to Philadelphia on a recommendation of our friends in town. We booked tickets for 8.30pm and on arrival joined the que. I’d say we qued for around an hour in total, luckily it wasn’t raining and although annoying this actually added to the fear and anticipation of what awaited us. We were entertained while we waited by actors who never came out of character, they were fantastic and added to the creepiness. My husband opted in to the interactive experience, my daughters (19 & 15) and I opted out. That was always going to be my choice but fear got the better if the kids in the que and they opted out at the last minute. I won’t spoil it with details but the visit was fantastic! The attention to detail was on point. We were definitely scared through out! May favourite part was the psychedelic experience! I really felt like I was going mad!! A must to try if in town!
