Went there to see the Nickolas Muray photographs of Frida Kahlo. Excellent exhibit. A wonderful traveling children’s exhibit from Omaha was there. Surprisingly, we really enjoyed the stuffed animals from around the world that were there. On the top level was another traveling exhibit of 1920s posters by Muncha. There is a balanced permanent exhibit of 20th century art.

The Reading Fightin Phils offer affordable family entertainment from early April through August at FirstEnergy Stadium. Spend a night outside while watching the top Phillies prospects. The Fightin Phils are well known for creating a festive, fan-friendly atmosphere from the time the gates open until the bottom of the ninth inning. While parking is always free and the concessions remain affordable, every game is a unique experience. Enjoy one of our 30 post-game fireworks shows. Or bring the family for a Sunday Family Fun Day. Giveaways, fireworks and the five-member Fightin Phils Mascot Team keep things hopping throughout the season.

Whilst staying in the area myself and my partner (both English) decided to go and watch the Reading Royals play ice hockey to fill an evening. Even though we had very little (no) knowledge of ice hockey we had a great evening. The atmosphere was great and it was a really well organised event, i would defiintely go again!

Oh what a night! We decided to explore one of the highly visible landmarks of the greater Reading area and couldn’t stop taking photos as the sun was setting... We were transported. Hard to believe we were in Pennsylvania... felt and looked like from another day and age. Medieval times? Italy? France? At the Great Wall of China? Even the obvious Japan... Note, visitors may not enter the building at this time but you can walk around the building on two levels.

when I go in these places I usually leave with nothing and let my Mrs get what she wants. this time, she did her normal shopping while I walked around, finding bargains here, or there,you need to look all around for those reduced price racks which they do have large signs for. I got some really nice stuff at really nice prices and will be back sometime again
