When the fall weather is just right, there’s nothing better than exploring Philly with the kids - and one of the most underrated ways to do it is through a Mural Arts walking tour.
Mural Arts Philadelphia is the largest public art program in the country, and chances are, you’ve already passed by some of their incredible murals without even realizing it. Their guided tours take you and your family through different neighborhoods, sharing the stories behind the art, the artists, and the community.
It’s the perfect mix of fresh air, history, and creativity - and kids love spotting the colorful murals along the way. Tours are available all across the city, so you can choose the one that works best for your family.
