Explore the rich maritime history of Philadelphia at the Independence Seaport Museum and learn about the importance of Philadelphia’s waterways, and witness traditional boat making in the Seaport Boat Shop.

The Museum is full of wonders and treasures.  From exhibits to collections, to ship models and everything in between.   

Dive into River Alive!,  an award-winning exhibition that brings the wildlife, science, and wonder of the Delaware River to life.  Climb aboard the oldest floating warship in the world on Cruiser Olympia and submerge yourself aboard the World War II-era Submarine Becuna.  Immerse yourself in special interactive exhibits while visiting the largest maritime art and artifact collections in North America.  In warmer months,  join us for a paddle in our boat basin or use your experience to get out onto the river with a kayak excursion.  With so much to explore, Independence Seaport Museum is the premier, family-friendly destination on the Penn’s Landing waterfront.
