Philadelphia is a natural fit for families with excellent activities from the National Constitution Center to baseball. Last Spring Break, my kids and I took a road trip to Philly—I wrote about our trip and activities in Philadelphia for kids on our blog.

This all-American city did not disappoint. It’s educational and entertaining for all ages. Dana Rebmann, one of Ciao Bambino’s travel writers, is from Philadelphia and wrote an article on her favorite Philadelphia attractions with kids.

I was born and raised less than half an hour outside of Philadelphia. I grew up going to Phillies games, watching “Rocky” movies and eating cheese steaks and soft pretzels. It’s easy to see why I loved Philly as a kid. Now, as an adult, I love taking my kids.

As a parent, if you want to take your kids on a city vacation, it’s easy to forget about Philadelphia. Think about the competition. There’s New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, just to name a few.
