10 Things to do Adventurous in Philadelphia That You Shouldn't Miss

December 3, 2021 Sheron Bogner

One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Philly Food Adventures

Private and Group Tours of Chinatown. As the editor of Midtown Lunch Philadelphia, Jamie navigates the Philadelphia food scene like a chef maneuvering through a kitchen. For many years, she has aimed her quill-and her palate-at Philly's ethnic food scene, scouting out the most authentic foods from various culinary traditions. As a long-time consumer and curator of Chinese food, her passion has led her to explore the Chinese cuisine in Philadelphia, New York, and even China. Within a three-block radius of Philadelphia's Chinatown, you can find an array of foods that originated in various far-flung regions of China. Follow Jamie around the neighborhood as we savor the flavors of Philadelphia's Chinatown, snacking on things like garlic wontons, chopped-to-order roast duck, and green tea bubble waffles. Tours last approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours and we will make about 5 different stops. All food is included in the price of tour. Even monster appetites won't leave hungry. A Chinese market tour is optional at the end of our trip.

Escape the 1980s

You're stuck in a 1980s time warp. Your group has 60 minutes to get through four rooms and find clues that will unlock doors, open padlocks, and hack into computer systems. Your goal is to get "back to the future". Make calls from push button 80s phones....enter a "secret code" into a talking computer system...press "musical notes" to unlock doors - and tons more. Knight Rider, the Goonies, Walkie Talkies and much more. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, going out on a date, doing something rad with friends or looking for some non-dorky team building - this is a totally righteous, most unusual adventure.

We were in Philly celebrating a 50th birthday and this was the perfect activity to end a day of site-seeing in the historic area. Everyone in our group of 5 had a great time, even the one who was reluctant at first! They recommend 6 or more but we completed the game with 8 minutes to spare, and it was just us. Given that we all grew up in the 80's made this even more fun, but you don't have to get all the references to have a great time. As an added bonus there is a bar just outside in the Bourse building to get drinks before and/or after (and you can find coupons for free beer and other snacks). I highly recommend this place.

We had great experience at Case Closed Room! Thanks Noah for entertaining and comforting us! He’s so supportive. Unfortunately, we couldn’t escape, but that was a lot of fun anyway:)
