We just moved to Philly and visited this museum for the first time this week (with a 5 and 9 year old). I didn’t realize previously that it’s actually a Smithsonian museum. There was so much to explore that it took us the whole afternoon. I was really impressed with how it was laid out both chronologically and thematically and there were so many hands on exhibits specifically designed for kids (I didn’t get enough pics!). There were sets for western expansion, tenements, old school houses, suburban homes, etc. The kids loved trying on the different costumes and interacting with the exhibits. Our eldest was especially interested in watching all of the video exhibits about WWII, the movie industry, etc. It was an awesome learning experience and I’d recommend it to anyone visit Philly with kids (old and young). It’s also located close to so many other attractions. We ended up doing the US Mint and Christ Church burial ground the same day. Also, it’s “free”, though we paid the $18 suggested donation.

Very informative Jewish museum. It mentions the Holocaust, but doesn't focus on it. I actually learned quite a bit. There are interactive sections for the kids as well. Donations requested, but not required.

Exquisite walk through time. Remarkable emotions accompanied the changes, travesties and Blessings faced by the Jewish citizenry.
