FitLife is close by and offers one day, $20 passes for travelers and guests. It's a well-equipped, pleasant place, and has a pool as well. You'll definitely be in a Mt. Airy center of activity, and keep fit on the road!

A massive, fortress-like structure in the heart of the Fairmount District, Eastern State gives a window into US history in a way no other site in Philly does. This first "modern" prison --- by 19th c. standards!--- closed its doors to inmates in 1971, but now offers tours that include history of incarceration, inmates' art, and Al Capone's cell. Around Halloween, a scary (not-for-little-kids!) haunted house tour is staffed by professional actors.

Getting Around

Closest stop on the SEPTA Regional Rail Line ("Chestnut Hill West" Line). Three, longish blocks from our house: definitely walkable. Links to Center City and 30th St. Station, as well as Chestnut Hill.

Everything Else

More than "food scene", a great place for meals, drinks, window-shopping, funky shops, entertainment. Also, walk or bike along the canal, or rent canoes or kayaks in the summer! Bike path heads out to Valley Forge.
