Lounge in a hammock or relax in a floating beer garden at Spruce Street Harbor Park, an urban oasis lit up with hundreds of multicolored LED lights at night.

 

Learn about America’s maritime history at Independence Seaport Museum, where visitors can tour the Cruiser Olympia battleship. Make a splash with on-water programming, including paddle boats, row boats, and kayak excursions on the Delaware River.

 

Hop aboard a 27-foot, all-wood mahogany picnic boat to cruise with Sea Philly on the Delaware River.
