Presidents Day at the Constitution Center

The National Constitution Center will celebrate Presidents Day with a variety of in-person and virtual events, as well as resources exploring Article II of the Constitution, the role of the executive branch, and the individuals who have held the office of president throughout American history.  

Presidents Day Weekend at the Museum of the American Revolution

Observe Presidents Day Weekend onsite and online with family-friendly tours, talks, crafts, and more, exploring the nation’s first president, George Washington, and the diverse range of people he would have interacted with. Don’t miss the Museum’s special exhibition, When Women Lost the Vote: A Revolutionary Story, 1776-1807, which explores the stories of the nation’s first women voters, now available online as a virtual exhibit and on view at the Museum through April 25.

Disney100: The Exhibition at The Franklin Institute

Created for the 100-year celebration of The Walt Disney Company, the world premiere exhibition will immerse guests in the beloved stories that have been dazzling fans since 1923.  

The Walt Disney Archives is opening its vault of treasures, showcasing more than 250 of its “Crown Jewels,” rarely-seen original artworks and artifacts, costumes and props, and other memorabilia.  

Exclusively for this exhibition, Disney has curated special behind-the-scenes glimpses into the creation of the company’s most popular characters, films, shows, and attractions—from Disneyland to Walt Disney World and beyond.  

Plus, ten magnificent and imaginatively themed galleries, all featuring moving stories, unique interactive installations, and exciting background information, will take visitors on a journey through 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, celebrating the classics from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World, as well as the latest members of the Disney family—Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, and National Geographic. 

Winter Wonder at Longwood Gardens

This winter, experience a warm, colorful oasis in our grand Conservatory. Vibrant Streptocarpus ‘Concord Blue’ baskets float above, pink and purple Saintpaulia (African-violets) delight, and tall Clerodendrum schmidtii (chains-of-glory) stun. From beds of coral Cymbidium to a dedicated area showcasing highlights from our vast collection, find hundreds of orchids in spectacular bloom. What’s more, with the January return of performances to our Conservatory, experience an extraordinary lineup of artists from audience favorites to new talent, all bringing a world of music to the ever-changing beauty of our Conservatory.

Outside, stroll 400 acres of winter’s beauty. Although subdued colors reign, the occasional burst of bright yellow and orange of blooming witch-hazel dots the landscape, while winter grasses add a textural element.

Chilly Philly Mini Golf at Franklin Square

Chilly Philly Mini Golf transforms Center City’s only miniature golf course for socially-distanced winter fun. The perfect outdoor outing for families, date night, and holiday fun. The course is filled with lights, holiday music, and larger-than-life wintertime friends.
