Please Touch Museum at Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park is the children’s museum of Philadelphia and is dedicated to enriching the lives of children by providing learning opportunities through play. Please Touch features six interactive exhibit zones: Roadside Attractions, Flight Fantasy, City Capers, Wonderland, River Adventures, and Centennial Exploration, along with daily activities and theater performances. Highlights include a century-old fully refurbished Woodside Park Dentzel Carousel and a 40-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty Arm & Torch, made entirely of toys.
