Other Attractions
 

DELILAH’S
After a long day of exploring, you’ll probably have worked up a giant sized appetite. If you crave stick-to-your-ribs southern cuisine…head for Delilah’s here at the Reading Terminal Market.

LIBERTY BELL
A visit to Philadelphia wouldn’t be complete without seeing the Liberty Bell. It’s an American icon symbolizing independence and freedom for all. Did you know that abolitionists actually gave it the name "Liberty Bell," in honor of its inscription? “Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land!” Before that it was simply called the "State House bell" which really didn’t have a good ring to it!

PRESIDENT’S HOUSE
Just steps away from the Liberty Bell…another chapter in our Nation’s history is being unearthed. From 1790 to 1800, Presidents George Washington and John Adams lived and worked in the Executive Mansion. The house once stood 5 feet away from where the Liberty Bell Center is located today.
