There is truly so much to do and see in and around Philly! For our family and friends coming from out of town and making a weekend trip, below are a few guides that outline lots of fun bars, restaurants, and sight-seeing.

Blue Bell, PA (reception/hotel locations) is roughly a 45 minute drive to Philadelphia (traffic dependent). If guests do plan to venture into the city during the weekend, some of our top recommendations would be to stop for a picture with the famous Rocky statue, stroll through Christmas Village at Dilworth Park, and of course... CHEESESTEAKS.

There are tons of great local spots, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment near Normandy Farms! We've listed some suggestions below.
