Like many cities across the nation, Philadelphia in the summer is hot but it offers a variety of fun things to do. From ice cream to museums and music, there is something for everyone to get in. Spend your summer vacation making memories in the City of Brotherly Love. Here are some of the best things to do in Philadelphia during the summer.
Franklin’s Fountain is an ice cream shop located near Penn’s Landing. While the ice cream is a bit pricey, it is worth it for the experience. The shop has an old-time feel to it and fits into its Old City setting quite nicely! They offer a wide variety of flavors and cone or dish options.
Want to cool off after walking around? Look no further than Dilworth Park. It is located right near City Hall. The fountains go up and down, allowing for an opportunity for people of all ages to have fun while cooling off. Let your hair down and have some fun.
If you would rather spend some time in the air conditioning, Philadelphia is home to a wide variety of museums. From history and religion to art and science and more, there is something for everyone and every taste to learn and explore. Keep learning new things, even on summer vacation!
From HoagieNation (headlined by Hall and Oates and Train) and the Roots Picnic festivals to Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly and Paramore, there is something for all ages and tastes. The outdoor music venue has multiple stages and has vendors on-premise for food and beverage needs.
Grab your favorite Wawa meal and some friends for a picnic in Rittenhouse Square. There is a fountain you can cool off near, plenty of shade, and benches to sit on. There are also a ton of dogs, so if you are a dog lover, you will not be disappointed!
Make Music Philly is a “do it yourself” music festival where you get to select what music you choose to see. From bluegrass jams in Rittenhouse Square to rock in local music venues, there is something happening in pop-up music venues across the city throughout the day.
