Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of America’s greatest cities — and while we’re huge fans of some of the most popular tourist attractions Philly has to offer, it can be easy to get bogged down by the most popular spots. Don’t get us wrong: We think everyone should visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art and run up the Rocky steps at least once in their lives, but there’s so much more to do while you’re in town. Philly is a melting pot full of diverse neighborhoods, storied history, and (of course) plenty of fun things to do. And, if you’re lucky enough to be in the city of brotherly love for your birthday, you’re almost guaranteed a good time. From breweries and professional sports games to historical tours, sightseeing, and much more, there are plenty of great ways to celebrate your birthday in Philadelphia. If you need a hand planning out your celebration’s itinerary, we have you covered. Check out this short list of a few of the best things to do for your birthday in Philadelphia.

City Cruises in Philadelphia

First things first: You can’t start your birthday celebrations on an empty stomach — and nothing spells birthday like brunch! Plus, no matter the occasion, a brunch cruise in Philadelphia is sure to create an unforgettable afternoon on the water. Grab your family and a group of close friends and get ready to experience the City of Brotherly Love in a whole new way aboard a Signature Brunch Cruise. You’ll knock back some delicious food, play fun deck games, enjoy a narrated tour, and take in the unbeatable skyline views from the Spirit of Philadelphia’s chic rooftop lounge.

There are a ton of great spots for dinner in Philly, but do any of them float? (We didn’t think so.) Get ready to dine, dance, and soak in the amazing views of the Philadelphia skyline while you’re aboard the Signature Dinner Cruise. You and your guests will depart from Penn’s Landing before relaxing on a delicious dinner cruise on the Delaware River — all you have to do is kick back and enjoy the beauty of Philly’s historic waterfront. You’ll be sure to remember your birthday with the included dinner buffet with freshly prepared entrees, salads, and desserts; the onboard entertainment and DJ music for some birthday dancing; and all of the cocktails, wine, and beer that are available from the well-stocked cash bar. Plus, children are welcome and infants under three cruise free!

Philadelphia’s Fishtown

If there’s one neighborhood you’re going to want to hit while you’re celebrating your birthday in Philadelphia, it’s Fishtown. The neighborhood’s narrow streets are filled with independent shops, bars, and restaurants, music venues, studios and galleries — pretty much everything you’re looking for in a birthday bash. Our advice? Check out some storefronts and galleries during the day, then at night, make a reservation ahead of time at a restaurant you’ve been dying to try, and have yourself a little bar crawl with you and your guests. (And send us an invite while you’re at it!)

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

If you’re looking for a guaranteed good time, it’s tough to beat a pro sports game. And, if you’re in Philly, you’re in luck: The city has great sports year round — and a super-dedicated fanbase, to boot. Whether you’re looking to catch a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park, a Flyers or 76rs game at the Wells Fargo Center, or an Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field, you’re in for a real treat. Plus, the stadiums usually have other fun events going on when there aren’t sports playing, such as concerts, comedy shows, and much more — so, even if you’re not a huge sports fan, we have no doubt you’ll be able to find something fun to do.

Philly’s Farmers Market

Is your ideal birthday spent browsing boutique shops, immersing yourself in a city’s culture, and eating your way through a bazaar? If so, you’ve got to stop by Reading Terminal Market, Philly’s famous indoor farmer’s market that’s been offering diverse fare, locally made goods, and Philadelphia area specialties since 1893. When we tell you this place is big, we mean it: It’s home to over 80 merchants with a wide range of wares. There’s plenty to do, see, eat, and drink — and they even host events that range from beer tastings to interactive cultural experiences!
