Students can engage in over 60 visual and educational exhibits featuring holograms, stereograms, optical illusions, and immersive rooms that are designed to tease the senses and trick the mind.

An immersive museum has opened in Philadelphia, with high-tech interactive exhibits perfect for student groups. Faith and Liberty Discovery Center on Independence Mall welcomed its first visitors in May 2021, offering exciting stories about America’s diverse history. Glimpse colonial Philadelphia through exhibits focusing on American values that shaped our nation: faith, liberty, justice, hope, unity and love. A core aspect of this museum is the overwhelming power spiritual values can have and how important love and hope are for community survival. The museum offers student trips for grades six through twelve with an option to tailor the trip for college students.

It’s a day that will live on forever in the hearts and minds of so many people. For so many of us, the world changed on September 11, 2001. Honor the 40 passengers and crew members on United Flight 93 who lost their lives protecting others by preventing a terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol at the Flight 93 National Memorial.

Steeped in history, Philadelphia continues to grow, with plenty of new things to see. From the Museum of Illusions to new exhibits at the Penn Museum, there is something for everyone.
