Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Please Touch Museum

Marriott Philadelphia Downtown is a top choice, just a 5-minute walk from Please Touch Museum, offering modern rooms with panoramic city views and an elevated rooftop terrace. The hotel provides free parking, complimentary shuttle service to nearby attractions like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and is steps away from vibrant dining spots such as Pizzeria Vetri, serving authentic Italian cuisine.

Another excellent option is Hyatt Philadelphia at Penn's Landing, located along the Delaware River with scenic waterfront views. It’s a 10-minute walk to the museum and features a 24-hour fitness center, indoor pool, and spacious meeting rooms—ideal for families and business travelers.

Both properties are centrally located in Philadelphia’s historic district, making them perfect bases for exploring the city’s rich heritage and cultural landmarks.

From Please Touch Museum, you can easily reach major attractions via SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority). Take the Market-Frankford Line light rail to City Hall Station, just a 7-minute ride to Independence Hall and the National Constitution Center.

To visit the Liberty Bell, transfer to Bus Route 8 or walk approximately 15 minutes through historic neighborhoods.

The museum also has access to bike-sharing stations and electric scooters, allowing you to ride to Philadelphia Art Museum or Franklin Square in just 10–20 minutes, enjoying scenic streetscapes and iconic architecture along the way.

We recommend using a SEPTA Key card for unlimited rides across the city’s public transit system—saving time and money while maximizing your exploration of Philadelphia’s cultural heart.

Beyond the interactive exhibits at Please Touch Museum, several family-oriented activities await nearby. Visit the Philadelphia Zoo, adjacent to the museum complex, which offers special Nighttime Animal Adventures with hands-on workshops and guided tours tailored for children.

The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University features an on-site aquarium with touch pools and interactive science labs where kids can explore marine life through play-based learning.

These experiences blend education and fun, creating memorable, enriching outings that appeal to both young explorers and parents alike.
