This is a great place. The audio tour works really well and offers many interesting facts and anecdotes about life in the prison. Even though the place is being cleaned up and restored it maintains the feel of a real ruin.

Formerly Wanamaker's and apparently the US's first department store, Wanamaker's is a slightly dreary Macy's that claims the world's largest functioning pipe organ. Two daily concerts - pop in to have a gawk!

The holiday light show is so fun! Obviously it's a seasonal event but it's definitely worth checking out. I've been going to see it since I was a child and it never loses its magic.

This is a real christmas light display. Julie Andrews does the narration and it kept fading at the night visit. Maybe the recording was getting tired? Well... More

On the hour they have a great Music light show with Julie Andrews as the narrator. The kids sit on the carpet around the eagle and look up. I was surprisingly impressed and I have a feeling my 7 year old will always remember this. More so than independence hall down the street.
