My daughters school planned a trip to the Annenberg center. I was really disappointed overall. The fake parrot show, did not keep the kids attention. It was very cheesy and actually painful to sit through. The most fun the kids had was outside in the garden by the fountain. Don't waste your time, take the kids to the Penn Museum,... More
