Philadelphia Trolley Works Description
If you're traveling without a car, the Trolley Works is a great way to get around. Or, if you're traveling with a baby and just need a break for tired feet, stay on board for the entire 90-minute loop and take the city tour. Kids love the open-air Victorian trolley or the top of the double-decker bus, and entertaining tour guides narrate the trip. One ticket gives you unlimited on-and-off privileges at 20 attractions for a full 24 hours.
Kid Tips
School-Age Kids: Head for the top of the double-decker bus. The tour guides stay on top, so you'll also hear fun stories.
