Philadelphia Museum of Art = kid friendly

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has great events for kids and open art studio time for children. When your kids outgrow the Please Touch Museum - trot over to the Philadelphia Art Museum. Here is a tip: if you are not there for a performance or studio art fun -- keep your visit short. Only plan on spending about 30 minutes. If your kids see a few pieces of art - this is better than trying to do too much, having a freakout and buying them snacks to keep them happy. Keep the visit short. But come back often. I recently took my 3 kids to the opening of the Van Gogh exhibit - and we toured the exhibit - with all three kids 9,6,5 listening to headsets about the art. We spent about 35 minutes in total looking at art and talking about the colors we saw etc. Short and sweet.
