The Franklin Institute

The word genius is banded around pretty loosely these days. Benjamin Franklin; now there's a brainbox who earned the title. The Franklin Institute works in honor of 'America's first scientist', the Founding Father responsible for coming up with lightning rods, bifocals, and modern catheters. A visit to Philadelphia's science museum is your ticket to edutainment. It's a laboratory of award-winning, brain-stimulating exhibitions, and family-fun activities!
