Please Touch Named a Top Children's Museum

Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum has been named one of the 10 best children’s museums in the United States by Conde Nast Traveler.

Please Touch came in at No. 6 on Conde Nast’s list of 10 Best U.S. Museums for Kids (and Kids at Heart).

Among Please Touch’s many good points, Conde Nast says, is that it’s a “pop-culture fanatic’s dream, with The Walking Piano from Big and a large display of Star Wars toys on view.”

No. 1 on Conde Nast’s list was City Museum in St. Louis. Find the full list here.

The Please Touch Museum is in Fairmount Park, 4231 Avenue of the Republic, in Philadelphia. It’s open fro 9 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $17; children under the age of 1 are free.
