We’ll try this again and hope for cooler weather this year! Enjoy a train ride from the Norristown Elm Street Station into the “City of Brotherly Love,” followed by 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 the seaport has to offer, such as Independence Seaport Museum, USS Olympia, a submarine, River Ferry Links to New Jersey and others. (Be aware some may have admission fees.) Eateries are along Penn’s Landing and the nearby Head House Square area. Dress comfortably with very comfortable shoes for walking on pavements. Bring sunscreen since we’ll be by the water.
