Also, putting together an itinerary for a June trip with a couple of days in Philly before going to our nation's capital.
Got these things as likely destinations with the kids:
Mutter Museum
Eastern State Pen
Liberty Bell/Independence Hall/Constitution Center as quickly as possible
Visit RJKarl's boyhood home and piss on it
Rodin Museum
LOVE statue
Eat stupid gross cheesesteak
Kelly Drive, Penn, Boathouse Row
Less urgent:
Valley Forge
Diggerland
Franklin Institute
Help ?
Franklin Institute is pretty cool. Depending on what you are looking for in a museum, the Barnes has really well known art. Do the Italian Market - dont buy anything, just walk it. Eat at Sabrinas for brunch/breakfast. Walk around Rittenhouse square, eat at Parc and get a table on the sidewalk or right inside so you can people watch the philadelphians. Reading Terminal Market is a must, if you can, eat at the Amish Diner joint inside, nothing fancy, just fun to be served by amish people.
Other Places to eat:
Vernick
Zahav
Probably other stuff I cant think of right now.
