Best Tours & Experiences in Philadelphia for Kids & Families

Looking for the best tours & experiences in Philadelphia for kids? As birthplace of America with a gritty, authentic charm, Philadelphia offers guided activities and unique local experiences that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Tours with kids are hit or miss. Walking tours over 90 minutes lose most children. We rate each for pace, engagement level, and whether there are enough stops to keep little legs moving. Private and small-group tours almost always work better with families. In Philadelphia, expect four seasons — fall is gorgeous, summer is hot and humid, winter can be cold. Pro tip: The Please Touch Museum is the best children's museum on the East Coast. Pair the Liberty Bell with Reading Terminal Market for a perfect half-day.

Below you'll find our curated list of tours & experiences in Philadelphia, PA — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
