Romantic Attractions

The museums surrounding Logan Circle's majestic fountain capture the sentiment of love with some unique exhibits. The Giant Heart at The Franklin is a two-story, walk-through beating heart at Philadelphia's premier science museum. Across the Parkway, The Kiss at the Rodin Museum, considered one of Rodin's masterpieces, depicts a couple in passionate embrace, which is sure to be inspirational.

Memorable spots for dates can be found on either side of the Delaware River. In Camden, Adventure Aquarium holds nearly 200,000 square feet of sharks, hippopatomi, free-flying birds, and sea life from around the world as well as a breath-taking view of the Philadelphia skyline. Back at Penn's Landing, the Blue Cross River Rink, an outdoor ice skating rink sitting on the Delaware River has lovely views and is the perfect place to share a mug of hot cocoa.

Old City may be, well, old, but it's a timeless place to take your love for a horse-drawn carriage ride in a flower-and-ribbon adorned buggy - an extremely romantic way to tour Philadelphia. The tours are available year-round and starlit evening carriage tours can be arranged by reservation at Philadelphia Trolley Works/76 Carriage Company. If you want another excuse to grab onto your lover, get scared together on a Ghost Tour. You'll cling to one another as you walk the cobblestone streets of historic Philadelphia and catch the Spirit of '76.

City Food Tours also offers an Evening Wine, Chocolate & Tea Experience, a food and drink adventure that will tantalize your taste buds with aphrodisiacs like wine and chocolate. Couples will indulge in tastings at specialty food shops and meet the chefs and purveyors.
