The Please Touch Museum is the children’s museum of Philadelphia. Please Touch is designed for families with young children and since 1976, has dedicated itself to enriching the lives of children by creating learning opportunities through play.

Please Touch Museum is wheelchair accessible. Strollers are NOT permitted on the gallery floor, but may be parked on the first level at the start of your visit; Snuglies® are available for use, free of charge.

Please Touch Museum tends to be busier on rainy days. You may want to schedule your visit on fair weather days. Mornings are also a busy time with most school groups visiting during this time. Afternoons are a great time to visit the museum as well as Mondays when groups are not scheduled.

Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park will be the new home for Please Touch Museum, scheduled to open in the Fall of 2008. Our new home will offer three times more space for more exciting exhibits and programs, a connection to a new community and the opportunity to rehabilitate Memorial Hall, a national treasure from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.
