Our staff—praised for their local know-how on booking.com—can’t wait to share their tips to make your trip unforgettable. So, let’s dive in and art-iculate the best places to visit, shall we?


1. Philadelphia Zoo: A Roaring Good Time (4.3 Miles Away)


First up, let’s talk about the Philadelphia Zoo, just 4.3 miles from Philly Inn & Suites. Established in 1874, this 42-acre wonderland is home to nearly 1,300 animals, from Galapagos tortoises to Amur tigers. It’s a family-friendly spot that’ll have you lion around with joy! In 2025, the zoo continues its legacy as a breeding center for endangered species, so you might spot some adorable new cubs or hatchlings.


Practical Details: The zoo is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Tickets are around $25 for adults and $19 for kids (ages 2-11), and you can book online to skip the lines. Pro tip: visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the animals at their most active—those tigers don’t nap all day, you know! After your visit, swing by our 24-hour front desk for dining recommendations—we know the best spots to grab a bite after a day of monkeying around.



2. Philadelphia Museum of Art: Step Up Your Culture Game (4.3 Miles Away)


Next, channel your inner Rocky Balboa and head 4.3 miles to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Famous for its “Rocky Steps,” this museum is a cultural gem housing over 240,000 artworks. You’ll find masterpieces by Renoir, Picasso, and local artist Thomas Eakins, making it a must-see for art lovers.


Practical Details: Open Thursday to Monday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Fridays until 8:45 PM), the museum offers “pay what you wish” admission on the first Sunday of each month and Friday nights after 5:00 PM. Otherwise, tickets are $30 for adults and free for under-18s. Insider tip: snap a triumphant photo at the Rocky Statue, then head inside to admire the permanent collection. Don’t worry about breaking a sweat on those steps—our air-conditioned rooms and 70-inch smart TVs at Philly Inn & Suites will help you frame a perfect evening of relaxation.


3. Mann Center for Performing Arts: Music to Your Ears (1.9 Miles Away)


Just 1.9 miles away, the Mann Center for Performing Arts is your go-to spot for live music and performances in 2025. This outdoor venue in Fairmount Park hosts everything from concerts to theatrical shows, and its proximity makes it a note-worthy stop during your stay. In spring and summer 2025, expect a lineup of big names—artists like Ringo Starr and Cynthia Erivo are scheduled for June, so keep an eye on their schedule for updates.


Practical Details: Ticket prices vary by event (typically $30–$100), and the venue usually opens its gates around 6:00 PM for evening shows. Insider tip: bring a blanket for lawn seating and arrive early to snag a good spot. Parking can be tight, but our free on-site parking at Philly Inn & Suites means you can leave your car with us and take a quick rideshare to the venue. After the show, unwind in our comfy rooms—our staff might even tune you into the best late-night dessert spots nearby!


4. Barnes Foundation: An Artful Escape (4.8 Miles Away)


A short 4.8-mile trip from Philly Inn & Suites lands you at the Barnes Foundation, a must-see for art lovers. Located on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, this museum boasts one of the world’s finest collections of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings, with 181 Renoirs and 69 Cézannes. In 2025, don’t miss Rousseau’s Secrets (October 19, 2025 – January 11, 2026), an exhibit reuniting the Barnes’ Henri Rousseau collection with masterpieces from Paris’ Musée de l’Orangerie.


Practical Details: Open Thursday to Monday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, tickets are $25 for adults, $5 for students, and free for kids under 13. Insider tip: book tickets online to avoid waiting, and visit on a weekday for a quieter experience. The museum’s unique layout, with art arranged in Albert C. Barnes’ distinctive “ensembles,” will leave you canvas-ing for more. Back at the hotel, our free WiFi lets you share your artsy photos without a hitch—talk about a masterpiece of convenience!


5. Fairmount Park: Nature’s Playground (Close to the Zoo and Museum)


Last but not least, explore Fairmount Park, a sprawling 2,000-acre oasis near the Philadelphia Zoo and Museum of Art (around 4.3 miles from us). This National Historic Landmark is perfect for a picnic, a stroll, or some Instagram-worthy shots at Boathouse Row or the Shofuso Japanese House. In 2025, the park remains a hub for outdoor festivals, especially in spring—think flower shows and food truck events that’ll have you park-ing yourself here all day.


Practical Details: Free to enter, the park is open daily from dawn to dusk. Insider tip: pack a picnic and head to the area near the zoo for a relaxing afternoon. If you’re visiting in May 2025, check out local event calendars for spring festivals—our staff can point you to the best ones. After a day in nature, return to Philly Inn & Suites for a hot shower in your private bathroom and a cozy night in. We’re rooting for you to have the best stay ever!
