Fun Things to Do in Philly
Explore the enchanted and spooky side of Philadelphia by going on a Ghost Tour of Philadelphia. These candlelight walking tours brings you through the frights and sights of historic Philly's haunted folklore, including the Eastern State Penitentiary.
There are, of course, regular day-time walking tours of Philadelphia, a city which is said to be best explored by foot. That is unless, you're up in a hot-air balloon! There are fantastic balloon expeditions from Philly that give lucky visitors a bird's eye view of Philadelphia as well as a gorgeous scenic look at the Delaware river.

The Village has colonial charm and the nearby areas are great for horseback riding, cycling, or walking.
Another fun thing to do in Philadelphia is to take a tour of all the city's colorful farmers' markets. There's a small market at Rittenhouse Square, some farmers' tents set up at City Hall, a huge summertime market at University Square, and weekly markets at Weavers Way and East Falls. Where else are you going to get fresh corn on the cob, heirloom tomatoes, and classic Philadelphian shoofly pie?
Pocono Fun Things to Do
The Pocono Mountain area is filled with small factories and shops that show off local handicrafts and mountain treats. Holley Ross Pottery is an example, as is Country Junction's "World's Largest General Store", Callie's Pretzel Factory and Candy Kitchen, and American Candle.
Horseback riding in the Poconos is another no-fail fun adventure. There are numerous farms that offer guided mountain rides, lessons, pony rides for children, and carriage rides around small towns.
Fun Things to Do in Eastern Pennsylvania
The Brandywine Valley is perhaps best enjoyed on horseback, following the lazy path of the Delaware River with a picnic and a bottle of wine from one of the many local vineyards. The Brandywine Valley is horse country, and you can get into the local spirit on an evening trail ride through the 80 acres of woods and meadows that skirt the Delaware border. Meander the trails past 200-year-old oaks and enjoy the spectacular scenery.
