This museum did not disappoint. Inside were exhibits of a wide variety, including sections of Einstein's brain!

Attraction
A nice place for young kids, with plenty of activities. 2 floors of fun, and as the name says, the kids can touch everything. Good place to let them burn off some energy. Everything is indoors, so you never have to worry about the weather. The age for the activities was spread out, so there is something for everyone.

The habitats were clean and large enough for the animals to play but small enough for us to be able to view at least one animal. The Zoo 360 climbing courses for the primates and big cats were amazing ! I wish every zoo gave their animals an opportunity to explore the world a bit more.
The employees were kind, answered questions, and helped us spot the animals that we couldn't see ourselves.
Also, they have animals I haven't seen anywhere else. Aye-aye's, 3 types of lemurs, and hippos were the ones I've never seen anywhere else! The giant otter was my favorite.

Food scene
A beautiful little spot nestled amongst the Drexel campus buildings, in an old Georgian mansion. There's seasonal fare, lots of drink options (non-alcoholic) and serving sizes that would easily allow for a share of most mains.
The service (which I suspect was mostly students) was prompt, attentive and friendly and the food was 'tell your friends' good. Fresh ingredients and incredible flavors. This is a gem of a find....don't miss it!

Spectacular food!! Fantastic service. Lovely indoor atmosphere. Outdoor seating with no street traffic. We grabbed a few items from their mid day menu. Truffle fries were super yummy. Bangin' mac and cheese. The Goat Cheese with Whipped Ricotta, Strawberries and Sourdough Toasts was delectable!

Nice trails, good spots to bring a chair after work and just enjoy the breeze. You will find a lot of people walking there pets and most pick up after their animals. I know I do and sometimes we just find a spot and just sit still

Groceries and Supermarket
Convenient neighborhood grocery. They have an impressive selection for the size of the space. More expensive than big grocery stores in the suburbs for sure but it's the best option in the area. Always very friendly.
