Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the walking tour in Old City Philadelphia?

A: There’s no specific age limit, but it’s recommended for ages 10 and up. Younger kids might get restless since it’s 90 minutes of walking and listening. It’s a great way for families to engage with history together, just maybe think about bringing snacks or something to keep the little ones entertained.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! The tours usually go on rain or shine, but if there's severe weather, they’ll reach out to you to set up a new date. Just make sure to check your email after booking for updates.

Q: What's the best way to get to Signer’s Garden? Is parking easy?

A: Signer’s Garden is pretty central, so driving is an option, but parking can be tough. There are some garages nearby, like the 2nd Street Garage, but it can get busy. If you can, try public transit - the Market-Frankford line has a stop not too far from there.
