Philly suggestions?

[dissupermom]

wow! totally forgot about eastern state, the mutter and longwood gardens! how did I miss the art museum steps? those are classics! I love coming home from work or riding pass the circle and seeing people jump up in victory at the top of the steps or raising their arms in victory while posing with the statue!

I want to also thank all those who offered suggestions because we are taking our DGD to UPenn in August and needed the same info about the city.

I have another question--we are staying at Pennsylvania landing. Should we rent a car or use public transportation. We wondered about parking areas

Penn's Landing and well Not exactly Philly - but Camden Aquarium and Battleship NJ - can take the Ferry from Penn's Landing

Fort Mifflin

For those who mentioned the zoo - the new Big Cat walk is pretty cool - went on Mother's day.

Since we are heading to Philadelphia on Tuesday (so excited!), this information is all relevant and helpful!

Wondering if any locals have a suggestion for a car service from airport to City Center? There are only 2 of us, but since I travel with 2 full suitcases of medical equipment, we end up having 4 suitcases and 2 carry on bags, which is often a hassle with cabs, so generally have better luck with a car service, but am not having much luck finding one online.
