Please Touch Museum

Any day.....went on Friday

Yes you can. I did it today this is my 3rd time using it.

Also to sanitize everything

38 bus will take you to both 42nd and parkside and in front of the museum

It is $19 per person and kids under 1 are free.

$12 for their lot, or free if you get lucky and find space on the street

Not sure but you may goigle the numbers and events you can also add them on facebook for up upcoming evens

l

No not at all.

I feel like its more for younger kids, plus the place is overrated and expensive

They do actually , they open the museum ealier for children with autism.. you should call for times , i dont really remeber what is the specific time they open.

Yes they do.

That's correct. Just was there with my wife and son a week ago. Paid $6 for all of us to get in.

Can I take my prepared food in the museum?

I think the Please Touch Museum would be great for your little man. Here is a link with some more information https://www.pleasetouchmuseum.org/accessibility/

Yes

Not sure...plz call and ask

No regrets. My two year olds love it.

Yes, there is a ramp.

Not currently

$22 per person if you pay online

We were there about three weeks ago and they charged us 5$ per child for the ferris wheel but the adults are free. If you have a season pass it's totally free and you get discounts on your gift or food purchases. Hope this helps you. GOD bless.

Yes. From what I understand, it can be anyone accompanying the child with an access card.

It's great

Now because of the pandemic, how do you make the reservation?

You do get half off if you are members at a Sister Museum in another state

2 dollars a person with access card and 19 without

On the Avenue of the Republic but that's a short distance from the entrance.

I don't know what you're referring to.

Yes

$19 for kids & adults. I believe if you have an Access Card(receive Snap Benefits) it is $3 per person up to 5 people I believe.

You have to use your own access card because you need photo ID in order to use it

Imo 11 is a bit on the old side. If going as a family with younger siblings he can help them enjoy and might like some things, but I wouldn't go specifically for a child that age as they will get bored.

Yes

Yes

You get up to 3ppl on ur ebt card and the rest you pay full price $20 per person nd child

they have sensory days like once a month

The truck is not out until. 12

It's any day of the week with the access card

there isnt much restrictions about bringing your own food. I saw many people eating their own brought food.

I know that when I worked there if you let them know they would tell you where to go and and ask if you can go to a meeting room or lunch room. If your child gets overwhelmed. I don't know what they do now but I would go with this info to ask them

I just went there last week, and they now charge for all children older than 1. Only children under 1 are free. Everyone between 1-65 costs $19. Above 65 is also free.

Yes

No, but there is for military, emergency services, and ACCESS card holders.

Probably 2-3 hours but you could definitely spend more time there if your kids are playing with a lot of stuff

Mon to Sat 9am to 5pm. And Sun 11am to 5pm

I believe just the access card.

Ok he was still be advertised on Septa ok so how much to see Sid i have an access card and my granddaughter is 2

The size of the party determines the price. The website has a tab for this and an email to ask questions to directly.

Have to use PA access card

Is that any day of the week

You can get up to 4 people in for $2

$2 plus access card and ID.

Yes you can use the access card any day.

$19 everyday & all entry times except the first Wednesday of each month from 4:00-7:00 p.m. admission is $2 per person.

Yes you can still use EBT

Try your luck and emailing them you might be lucky

there won't be a capacity issue...just show up and im sure they can honor your ticket

No

No

It's usually the 1st Wednesday of every month from 4-7pm $2 Wednesday February 16,2022 it's an extra First Wednesday because of Black History Month

Stay anywhere in center city with a pool and ride share there.

Yes, they are

Yes, but with a few suggestions: 1. Go at opening. The crowds are much smaller and the child will have more access to toys/activities to try. 2. If they are okay with masks. The museum is really big on children over 2 wearing masks. My son is 2 and a half and they asked me to mask him. He was actually okay with it though. He took it off a few times and nobody bothered us, but they do want the effort made. 3. There is a big "through the looking glass" display full of activities. It is very impressive but there are varying levels of low light, life size characters, a maze, mirror wall, and a forced perspective room that makes children feel like the room gets smaller as you go in. It's a really great display, but some of this can make some children nervous. There are many great activities, so check online for art classes and other demonstrations. Have a great time!!

Yes! We purchased individual tickets, and eventually our 1 year membership totally online. Then you just show your tickets on your phone when you arrive and pick up membership cards at the desk.

Yes. Just bring your cards

YES.

"Active duty personnel with valid ID receive 6 free admissions from Memorial Day through Labor Day and $2 off per ticket (up to four tickets) for the rest of the year. Veterans receive $2 off per ticket (up to four tickets) at anytime."

Upto one years old is free.

Their website lists holiday hours

Yes from 11am-5pm

There are rooms for pretend play like hospital, grocery store, kitchen, school, lots of vehicles to climb into and try everything in them. There's water play, mazes, giant blocks etc . My 3 year old didn't want to leave after 4 hrs there.

Free admission

The Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) ACCESS card is blue and green in color with the word “ACCESS” printed in yellow letters. This card is issued to MA recipients who receive cash assistance and/or food stamps as well as medical services, if eligible.

Nope!

$19 per person

No only the person who the card is issued to they have to be present

Yes

Yes, we went 3 weeks ago. Bring your id that matches the card. We paid $8 for 4 of us. 2 kids 2 adults.

You should be able to

$19 for anyone over 1 but if you have a snap card = foodstamps it's $2 .

Maybe. Heard from 2 different moms that they had completely different stories. 1 mom brought a guest to members only, and was fine, the other said that she was told the guest wouldn't be able to attend until the normal opening hours thereafter

PA residents only access card program

Yes you can and it is the same price 19 dollars unless you get a year membership

No. No one's picking up the phone either.

No Id needed

Just show access card and picture id. Get you and 3 other people in for $2

I think it's about $20 for kids (above 1) and adults if you buy at door. But check websites like Ticketmaster or Groupon for special offers.

It has to be from Pensilvania

Go to your Department of Human Services if they turn you down go to Philly hunger they will help you

Online price is $19 per person. $12 for parking.

$19 for adults and children over 1.

Honestly I would call beforehand but it would probably be open😁

Take it to the end of the line in philly. 8 th n market (broad street line orange) take it to girard Ave and catch the 15 trolley to please touch

Yes. The little garden with the playhouses downstairs is great, also the storybook area near the hedge maze, and the other by the water play.

Oh I don't know there was a DETOUR when I went so I'm not sure how many entrances they even have. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Do you mean, can you host birthdays there? Yes. Details on their website.

About $85 including parking. But you can purchase membership and then it's a better deal.

Yes, with out a membership you must pay. I don't know how much because my wife purchased a membership for thr grands.

No they don't.

Yes.

It's indoors. Any time would do!

Yes they do!

Not really

It is geared more young children. The franklin Institute would be better for a teen and is not to far from there.

I went with a Groupon that included the parking and admission at a discount. I would check that out if it is still running

Yes

Take it in, there are ramps you can use.

Septa 40

Nope

As long as you're photo identification matches the name on your EBT card you should be fine.

Adults and children over 1 year old are $19. So, $57. Dont forget about parking unless you get a spot on the street as parking is another $12.

Tickets Members and children under age 1: Free Adults and children 1 and older: $19 Carousel Rides: 1 ride for $3 or unlimited for $5 First Wednesday nights of each month, 4 to 7 p.m.: only: $2

You can take an Uber and it will only cost you about $15

Yes it is without a doubt

No, access card holders have to purchase tickets day of visit at the museum

Parking is not free..the museum has a parking lot which is 12 dollars if you are not a member. If you are a member then it will be free.. there is street parking in front of the museum and across where the soccer field is, but you will inly get lucky with that of you arrive early in the morning.

You can avoid that - there is a ton of street parking right nearby

Yes, there is. The ramp is on the left side off the front entrance. If meeting a group, the group entrance is also wheelchair accessible.

Sometimes yes, but not always. Keep an eye on Groupon.

No limit though the museum is geared toward younger children.

Yes

Go to maps which you're already in and hit the navigate to the museum.

Pre Book is not necessary. You can buy tickets upon arrival

The person whose name is on the card must be there. They ask you to show i.d. Each card can get up to four people in for $2 each, a total of $8.

Birth to maybe seven or eight years of age. Older siblin up to about ten years old will be entertained by many of the areas. My grandsons range in age from two to ten and leaving is always a problem no matter how long we've been there. The older one engages with the younger ones and doesn't appear to feel awkward. There are special areas for the under three crowd with a height and age restriction so the big kids don't run over them. You will also find a few areas of interest for the grown-ups. There's a small cafe area and a gift shop, too.

An access card is like an atm/debit/Mac card. If you receive TANF (cash) or SNAP (food stamps) benefits from the government you have an access card. It's used to make purchases. Many museums in the Philadelphia area allow up to four paid admissions with your card. Each person would pay $2.00. So you and three others can enjoy a visit for a total of $8.00. The person who's name is on the card must be with you and will be asked to show I.D. It's an amazing program designed to support, encourage and make it possible for low income people to enjoy some of the best parts of Philadelphia (Philly) and it's surrounding area. Spread the word!

$2 for the both of you, that doesn't include the carousel.

Yearly membership

Absolutely. Regular hours

Yes

I also agree with the 10 and under age group.

Yes, there are many options for various events and private events.

Different areas of fun for different interest.

Yes, they would only need to pay $2, just like you with your access card and id.

No you have to show your access card first so the price will be reduced

Up to 7 or 8 years old would work. Definate iffy beyond that.

Not sure. Check the website.

Yes there is plenty of parking.

This is what i found on the museum s website. " This iconic carousel, originally located in Philadelphia’s Woodside Park, was crafted in 1908 by the Dentzel Carousel Company, and after more than 40 years in storage, returns to its hometown bringing joy to new generations in its own 9,000 square-foot glass pavilion on the east side of Memorial Hall."

Can you bring a stroller or do you have to rent one?

$19 per person, children under 1 are free. Carousel rides are $3 for kids, adults are free.

Yes, and they have a courtyard with tables

38 and 40

It opened in Memorial Hall in 1976, then moved to the new location in 2008.

They have some toddler sections where he'll might like to play. Just keep a lookout for any small things he doesn't try to put in mouth. We went with our 2 year old daughter. Otherwise, it's a good place for everyone to see and explore. There are some pictures online that show some areas of the museum. Hope this helps.
