Looking for something different (and a little spooky) to do on a winter night? We had the best time on the Philly Ghosts: Phantoms of Philadelphia Tour by US Ghost Adventures! It’s a one-mile walking tour through Old City that blends Philly’s rich history with eerie ghost stories - perfect for curious kids and brave parents. We visited landmarks like the Liberty Bell and Bishop White House while our amazing guide shared fascinating (and not-too-scary) stories. My daughters, 10 and 12, were engaged the whole time and even asked questions! Highly recommend this fun, educational experience for families with older kids looking to explore Philly in a unique way.
