Franklin Institute Science Museum

No matter how old you are, Philadelphia's Franklin Institute, one of America’s oldest and foremost science museums, is bound to entertain. Known for its 2-story-high walk-through Giant Heart for some 50 years now, the museum’s other exhibits, like Kid Science (which lets tykes save the planet in the name of science) and The Train Factory (where kids are invited to get a working 350-ton train rolling) easily guarantee an action-packed day out. The Planetarium, IMAX theater, and outstanding visiting exhibits (like Star Trek and Body Worlds) also make this museum a hit every time. www2.fi.edu
