Needs more cleaning of the areas where we eat and get beverages. Staff needs more training to make the experience better.

My daughter has attending Summer Stage at the Upper Darby Performing Arts Center since she was in the 6th grade. Each year she gains more experience and I see her grow and develop as an entertainer. The staff is great and the other attendees, especially the more seasoned summer stages, are supportive of each other and encourage the newer attendees to not be afraid to shine. I love this program. My daughter has recognized her musical talent and has gained a lot of knowledge in the performing arts industry. The performances at the end of the summer are phenomenal and I enjoy each show I attend. I would recommend this program to all young people in and out of the Upper Darby area.

Classic old bowling alley, but with some modern features (nighttime glow bowling). They have a great program for kids in the summer, they can bowl free! You can also purchase a family pass for the summer at a really reasonable price.
5. Morton Morton House

This is where the history of this house begins. Years before William Penn and his Quaker followers set foot on America's shores, Swedish settlers had established a settlement along the Delaware River and Bay. The house is located in a secluded, residential area of Norwood, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, at the confluence of Darby and Muckinpates Creeks. In fact, the Darby Creek is practically at the front door. The house was built around 1750 by Morton Morton (1701-1781) a great-grandson of Marten Martenson, who settled in what was then called "New Sweden" in 1654. Morton Morton was also a cousin of John Morton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The current president of the Norwood Historical Society, Judy Anastasi, gave an enthusiastic and passionate tour of the house and also explained its (and the family's) importance from pre-Colonial Era to Post-Civil War period. She also explained the apathy in more recent years that led to the eventual abandonment of the building before beginning restoration.

It was cold when we visited, so there wasn't a lot of activity. The park's historical information markers are broken and so etched that you can't really read them. The shore needed to be cleaned, but coming from Minnesota, we understand waiting until warmer weather comes for the clean-up.

Pete provides some of the best tours & workshops I've been on in my many years of photography. Most recently I was on one of his Train tours in PA. His attention to detail, the period accurate actors, & the great working relationships with the Railroads shows by how smoothly they run and how much fun everyone has. Looking forward to many more charters in the future!

I have been going to Bamboo Spa for several years now. What drew me in was the friendliness of everyone in the salon and an absolutely magical spa pedicure. The place is kind of like Cheers where everybody knows your name. I highly recommend the spa pedicure, the massage will put you to sleep. I always request family get me gift certificates here for gift ideas it's a can't miss for me.

Set within a lively urban neighborhood, commanding a spectacular view of Fairmount Park, and just across the street from the main Museum building, the Perelman Building galleries and study centers showcase some of the Museum's most comprehensive, colorful, and cutting-edge collections. The new spaces offer a variety of other wonderful new amenities. Among them are a library open to the public and offering a wealth of resources, including ever-changing displays of rare books, precious documents, and graphic arts; a café overlooking a landscaped terrace; a new bookstore; a soaring skylit walkway; and a succession of other spaces in which to stroll, linger, and explore the visual arts.

One of America’s oldest and largest, yet paradoxically least-known museums, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is testament to the city’s long support and boosterism of art and artists. The physical space, a soaring glass and steel construction that spans three expansive floors, is a work of art in itself, and offers ample display space for rotating selections from the museum’s 54,000-strong collection. The galleries devoted to European and American art are both quite extensive and revelatory, but the true highlights are upstairs, in the Asian and African art wings. Exquisite Chinese ceramics, some dating back more than a millenium, reveal an unparalleled mastery of craft, while the elaborate masks, ceremonial paraphernalia and extraordinarily rich carvings from African tribespeople are uncannny in the way they suggest and anticipate similar displays in the New World. Beyond the museum proper, the grounds and gardens are well worth a stroll in good weather, especially in the spring.
