Take the grandchildren on a two-hour trolley tour led by docent-artists through different Philadelphia neighborhoods. Get the stories behind dozens of colorful murals that adorn public spaces around town, an initiative first started in 1984 as a way to fight graffiti and blight. The Mural Arts Program has produced more than 2,700 murals throughout Philadelphia — more murals than any other city in the world. Older grandchildren might enjoy touring by bike.
