We’ve visited Philadelphia many times in the last decade and continually retest our tours to ensure they remain current and as packed with challenges as possible.
This scavenger hunt is of NORMAL difficulty.
The ideal group size is between 2 and 6 – but it is not restricted to this. Children are welcome and will enjoy most of the challenges.
After purchase, to begin your Philadelphia historic district walking tour and scavenger hunt, you will need to be outside of the Ledger Hotel, Chestnut St & 6th St. This is the start location.
Once there, log in to this website and begin your hunt. Go to My Account and follow the instructions there.
William Penn, an English Quaker founded Philadelphia in 1682. Initially, it was to serve as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony of the British Empire. Then, this city played an instrumental role in the American Revolution, as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the United States of America Constitution in 1787.
Furthermore, the First and Second Continental Congresses were held here at Independence Hall. Philadelphia also served as the temporary capital of the United States from 1790-1800.
