This was my first trip to the Please Touch Museum since it moved to Fairmount Park and what a huge improvement! There are so many interactive exhibits for the kids to play in/on. There is a carousel, a mini grocery store, SEPTA bus, monorail, lilypad, jungle-themed musical instruments, car repair center, gas station, and so much more. Kids are free... more

I took my four-year old daughter here in late April, 2009, after the day before trusting Google Maps to bring us to....the old location of the Museum several unwalkable miles away! (Damn you, technology and my blind trust). On the day we visited, (a Saturday), the surrounding, expansive Fairmount Park was closed due to a charity walk. I am no... more

My husband and I brought our 4 1/2 year old twins to the Museum today. I had very high expectations going in and they were absolutely exceeded. The facility is beautiful, the exhibitions were intelligent, well-maintained and well-explained. The docents were knowledgeable, friendly and showed appropriate authority. My kids loved running in the hamster wheel (maybe I'll get one at... more

I was really impressed with how clean it was, which could be because it... more

I just came back from Philly and my twin girls that are 3 just loved this place. My one daughter gets bored fast but did not here, she kept busy for the whole time we were there. Would come back again when they open up in new location. more

It costs $9.95 a person, no matter what age-a bit steep for a museum that is as big as the average two story home. Takes about 45 minutes to go through and if your kids get bored it will be about 20 minutes. Do yourself a favor and skip this museum, save your money and go next door to the... more

This is a great spot for kids. It is meant for kids 1-7. You could probably spend up to 2 hours here, but my son has a short attention span and we went through it in 20 minutes. Compared to other children's museums and attractions, this was very clean and well maintained. more

We went to the Please Touch Museum and loved it! We have a two year old and an infant. We brought our Snugli because you can not take a stroller through the museum. We found 3 hour street parking which gave us enough time. My two year old loved it! There was so much to do and look at, so... more
