Enjoy a train ride from the Norristown Elm St. Station into the “City of Brotherly Love” with an
enjoyable walking tour of Penn’s Landing and Head House Square. Our walk will take us from the Market East Train Station to Penn’s Landing to check out the various activities that the seaport has to offer. Plenty of places to see and things to do such as the Independence Seaport Museum, USS Olympia, a submarine, Duck Boat Rides, River Ferry Links to New Jersey and others. Be aware that some admission fees may be required and other things to see are free. Eateries are at some spots along Penn’s Landing and the nearby Headhouse Square area. Dress in comfortable clothes and very comfortable shoes for walking on pavements. Bring sunscreen since we’ll be by the water. This trip is rain or shine, so bring rain gear if the weather forecast is drops!
