Nice to see you're checking in. No trip to the museum is complete without a stop at Pomegranates Cafe where you can refuel with kosher fare, dairy snacks , a light meal, or coffee .

Very cool place. Allow a substantial amount of time (4 hours+) if you really want I see everything. Tours are great if you don't have much time. Very different from the Holocaust museum in D.C.

The PHLASH trolley runs Fri, Sat & Sun from 10-6 pm May-October 28, 2012. Just head to stops 2 or 18, buy a $2 ticket & you'll be on your way to seeing more of Philadelphia's attractions and museums . Read more

A wonderful & captivating experience! Start at the top & work your way down. U can spend an hour per floor so plan your time and choose whether you want to scan or dive into the material.
