Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Philadelphia

AK • March 1, 2019Great customer service, beautiful design, clean, modern space. If you can swing it, splurge on the premium seats upstairs. Great views, tables for two with full menu and bar service.

Jade H. • March 13, 2017I've been here for an orchestra concert. The acoustics and sound is amazing from every seat. It is a beautiful concert hall. It is simply marvelous from the first step you take inside.

Dave L. • November 28, 2017The exhibits are very good and awesome to see even though you have to pay admission in order to enter the historic building. Loved viewing the ancient armor exhibits. The management &staff are helpful

Slightly P. • January 28, 2016Excellent venue. Feels intimate but is pretty large. Nice sound system. Craft beer selections are amazing, and they have servers who'll come to you!

Michael L. • November 10, 2021Aside from the pride in seeing this place restored, just a great venue to see a show. Bars are platiful and serve a great selection of drinks. Sightlines are great.

Brandon C. • July 6, 2015Outdoor musical hall with excellent seating where ever you are. Also grass seating available! Food/drinks with addition craft beer section in the back. Parking starts at $20 on event nights

Bryan M. • May 29, 2015Great venue. Went here awhile back to see a great friend perform and the venue was nice. Drink prices are reasonable in a far West center city kind of way. Didn't eat. Fiesta Pizza afterwards.

phea j. • March 26, 2009Take some classes or a workshop! They offer free classes and special discounts to members! I recommend Mixed Media Sculpture with Joni Woods!

Michael H. • December 11, 2018Visually appealing main lobby and even more impressive concert hall with amazing acoustics. Only downside was the extremely weak coffee (@4$) served at the concession.

Richard • March 31, 2010A "house museum" gem with a ton of events including Bloomsday (June16) and a Dracula Festival. Unique and inspiring

Maneesh N. • May 6, 2017Incredible museum for history lovers. I spent 2.5 hours here and felt a little rushed, so make sure you leave enough time

Danielle Ball Control M. • November 22, 2012Great place for all ages. My 11 month old was able to have fun in the 3-and-under areas. My 15 and 16 year old nieces enjoyed themselves too.

Estia Restaurant • November 16, 2011We have live jazz brunch, live Greek Music on Fri & Sat, and a pre-theatre prix fixe menu for theatre goers!

Paige C. • July 9, 2013A nice part of the Zoo. Learn a bit about reptiles and cool down from this summer heat wave :)

Jenn P. • August 10, 2013The entrance is on 52nd & Parkside. Don't let cab drivers take you for a ride around the park or pretend like they don't know.

Melissa M. • August 12, 2018Amazing pay as you wish. Beautiful gardens that they play music and have beer and wine for purchase in the summer

Alice H. • September 10, 2016If you visited the origins site you will be impressed with how well they moved everything. The collection is an oasis in the middle of an urban locale. The paid tour is worthwhile for 1st time visit

Christopher B. • March 22, 2012One of the best theaters to visit if you are into independent films and visiting PA!!

Daniel K. • August 17, 2016Fantastic selection of film and concessions are reasonable.

Jake D. • March 19, 2017Great museum and excellent customer service - there was a mix up over our membership and staff was able to accommodate us.

DailyCandy • February 25, 2014The focus is on more than just textiles. You’ll find work that incorporates painting, video, and other mediums. The gift shop merchandise is just as quirky and contemporary as the museum’s exhibits.

Conner W. • August 11, 2015Everything is amazing here. From the huge dinosaur bones to the butterfly room and the massive rock of quartz, this place is great. A wonderful atmosphere for kids and adults alike.

Kerri M. • February 24, 2013There used to be an amazing Lego display on the top floor- our 4 year old loves it!
