I have lived in Philly all my life, but I need some help. My BF's 3 kids are coming to town this weekend for our annual block party; however, it's supposed to POUR all day Saturday.

What do I do with 4 kids; 17,13,13,and 12 on a rainy Saturday?

Looking for something different and fun, even if its a hour away.

I second the rock gym, both are very good places

You could also look at the franklin Instuite, the priates exhibit is suppose to be very interesting if it's still running. Althought the 17 year old might be a little disinterested in this

There's always the Art Mueseam as well

If all else fails, there's always the movie's

Hope this helps

How about Dave and Buster's? They even have a dinner and $20 game card offer for $24 per person.

Camden Aquarium?

I second the franklin institute, especially if its a thunderstorm. It's been a long time, but they used to do special exhibits during them.

Some great suggestions, but if you want to go into CC, my three kids love the FI over all else on a rainy day (ages 9 and almost 7.)
