About Please Touch MuseumSince 1976, Please Touch Museum has been the Children’s Museum of Philadelphia. Our museum was the first in the nation whose target audience was families with children seven and younger. We have grown into one of the best children’s museums in the nation, have become experts in play and have had our programs for under served families in the region nationally recognized. Our mission to enrich the lives of children by creating learning opportunities through play, enables us to lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning and cultural awareness.

The play grocery store is absolutely adorable. Kids are able to using shopping carts that are their size, shop the entire store, and then check out at registers that other kids can scan all their items through. Afterwards, there’s a “home” set up where they can put all their groceries away.
We were originally there for story time with Olivia the Pig. Please Touch Museum has a ton of activities and events going on that you can take advantage of when attending the museum. After story time, children were allowed a meet and greet with Olivia. Skibbles loved her and was so sad when we had to leave. Our friends from Can’t Google Everything tried to let us hop back in a picture so she was happy again, but she was just upset at this point. Luckily, there was so much fun to distract her!
Lastly, we check out the Please Touch Museum’s Lunch cafe. They had some many great options, from already prepared sandwiches, salads, and wraps, to customized pizzas, sandwiches, and pastas. And the food was delicious and comparable in price to many other places.
