Located about a 1 mile walk from the Logan Hotel. McGillin’s Olde Ale House threw open its doors the year Lincoln was elected president. That’s shortly after the Liberty Bell cracked and long before ground was broken for Philadelphia City Hall. The beer taps have been flowing since 1860 — making it the oldest continuously operating tavern in Philadelphia and one of the oldest taverns in the country. It's super fun and ridiculously decorated around Christmas time. If you go, play Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" on the jukebox for the bride and slam the tables/pump your fists to the beat.

Located about a half a mile walk from the Logan Hotel. An architectural treasure inside and out, City Hall is the largest municipal building in the United States, with over 14.5 acres of floor space. Topped with an iconic statue of Philadelphia founder William Penn, the 548-foot tower is the tallest masonry structure in the world without a steel frame, and it was the tallest building in Philadelphia until 1987 (when the curse of William Penn began).

The Liberty Bell is a 1.3 mile walk from the Logan Hotel. While it is a cool site to see, it might not be worth the wait of standing in line. This sounds kind of creepy, but sometimes it's best to walk by it at night and look at it through the window.

This is the venue where the reception will be held and is 0.2 miles from the Logan (about a 6 minute walk). The Franklin Institute is one of America's most celebrated museums—a renowned leader in science and technology.

The area along the Delaware River waterfront is home to year-round attractions like Independence Seaport Museum, Cherry Street Pier, and Race Street Pier; and restaurants like the Moshulu. It is home to some of the city’s most popular seasonal parks, including Spruce Street Harbor Park and Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest. They have an ice skating rink and ski type lodge situation going on around Christmas time.

The Christmas Light Show is a Philadelphia holiday tradition dating back half a century, housed in the historic Wanamaker Building. The free show uses more than 100,000 LED lights to project snowflakes, ballerinas and reindeer upon a four-story-high velvet curtain in the Grand Court atrium, accompanied by festive music from the world-renowned Wanamaker Grand Organ.

November 24 through December 31. No reservations are required but it is standing room only and tends to get crowded. There is usually a show every hour but be sure to check the website before going.

Upstairs, there is another holiday tradition, Dickens Village. The 6,000-square-foot walk-through experience transports visitors to 1840s London with 26 heart-warming scenes from A Christmas Carol (advanced reservations are required for this exhibit).

At the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (right next door to The Logan), you can wander among towering dinosaur skeletons or discover an indoor tropical butterfly garden.

Visit our Special Exhibits Gallery for our newest exhibit, or watch scientists at work in Science Live or our Fossil Prep Lab.

The mission of the Barnes is to promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture.

Philadelphia art collector Albert C. Barnes (1872–1951) chartered the Barnes in 1922 to teach people from all walks of life how to look at art. He believed that art had the power to improve minds and transform lives. Over three decades, he collected some of the world’s most important impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, including works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. He displayed them alongside African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork. Dr. Barnes was a strong supporter of progressive education and social justice, and he worked closely with Black communities in the belief that people—like art—should not be segregated.
