Things for a 24 yr old woman to do in Philadelphia by herself? |
Travel Info I am going to be visiting Philadelphia with my boyfriend who is from there. However one of the days we are there he will be gone all day visiting his brother in Prison :( . I plan on going shopping at King of Prussia Mall in the morning but need more ideas of things I can do by myself (must be in safe areas). Any ideas of fun things I can do by myself? Travel Tips As many others have said, the King of Prussia Mall is a destination unto itself. While not big enough to support an indoor roller coaster or anything like that, the mall is more than enough to occupy your entire day. The KOP Mall actually is comprised of two malls, the Court and the Plaza, each of which is the size of your typical shopping center. But, since you are going to be at the KOP Mall in the morning, I will suggest things to do with your afternoon that are closeby (if you need to get back down to Philadelphia to meet your boyfriend, though, you should get out of the area by 3:30pm to avoid rush hour traffic on the weekdays). After your mall visit, you can head south on Route 202 to the Chesterbrook Blvd exit (not far, about 5 minutes) and right there is the Valley Forge State Park, which is really nice and big and you can walk around and immerse yourself in history. Also nearby is Five Guys Burgers and Fries, which has the best cheeseburgers in the known universe. I promise. If you continue south on 202, and then get onto route 30 west (regular 30, not business 30) you will find yourself near the Amish country in about 40 minutes. This is such a different experience than your typical big city tourist trap that I would actually recommend allotting more time for it. You can cruise through small Amish towns and sample the local cuisine and crafts. The White Collar Ruckus http://whitecollarruckus.libsyn.com... Others the mall you'll probably be at kop the whole day, haha. it's HUGE. Prostitution. -Go to Ikea and shop, shop, shop! -Go to boathouse row and watch the rowers -Go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (where Rocky was filmed) -Go do all the touristy things downtown (liberty bell, independence hall, etc.) Check out Reading Terminal Market. I could spend days there! Also there are a lot of cute boutiques and stuff all along Chestnut St. South Street can be fun too, especially between 5th & 8th. Have fun! Oh, P.S. if you're into bathy stuff, try Duross & Langel on 12th & Locust. It's wonderful & so are the owners! Former Philly resident |
