Yes it's Macys, but it' also a really incredible building. They play the pipe organ (worlds largest!) a few times a day. Read a big about the building's history (Google: Wanamakers ). Cool stuff.

Once Wanamaker’s, America’s first “modern day department store ” this US Historic Landmark was built in 1876 and still houses the largest operational pipe organ in the world; played at noon each day.

Huge, old-timey store with fun displays at Christmas .

Buy what's on sale and stack the savings on with your Macy's card. You can end up with some very sweet deals. If purchasing luggage, don't hesitate to ask for floor models for an additional 10% off.

Rob McGowan

Located in the beautiful/historic Wanamaker building, Macy’s has 100+ years of retail history. Their well known holiday light show runs multiple times daily, Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve.

Legacy of The Nutcracker lives on at Macy's department store in Philadelphia. Busy venue and crowds on main floor and along the courtyard railings for the light show with soundtrack.

If you make it to this part of philadelphia make sure you look around this macys department store . It's 1 of the first macy 's ever and was featured in the movie mannequin.

Rosie Simmons

Everyone in the fragrance section is friendly with the exception of the hefty black woman near the GaGa section. Attitude and not pleasant.

President Taft was the guest of honor at the dedication of Wanamaker 's department store (now Macy’s) on December 30, 1911. A bronze plaque inlaid in the Juniper Street entrance marks the spot.

The Christmas light show here is really neat and it’s free to see the show.

Prices seem higher than the other big city Macy’s but the architecture is interesting.

Jayzen Patria

This place is a gem of history! Take the tour or chat with Jennie at Visitor's Center!

Come here during the holidays to see their display. Better yet, bring a young nephew or niece and watch them see the display for the first time.
