Top 10 Things to do in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania (PA)

February 13, 2022 Etsuko Causey

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.

Chestnut Hill Skyspace

Reviewed By Kitoeki - Philadelphia, United States

The Chestnut Hill Skyspace by James Turrell in a mystical moment, a magical experience and a profound art installation all at the same time. The property is wonderful to visit, the guides are outstanding and once the moment begins you will be utterly blown away by the experience. James Turrell, the sky and the Quaker Meeting House all come together to bring you on a journey through color, light, and experience. We loved laying on the floor and watching the sky and the room transform before our eyes. This is a must see activity for any art or nature lover in a wonderful vibrant neighborhood called Chestnut Hill, just 15-20 minutes from Center City. Take a hike before the visit in the natural wonder called the Wissahickon. I can guarantee you will recommend the Skyspace to friends after your visit.
