Best & Cool Science and Space Museums in Atsion Lake

"The Independence Seaport Museum was founded in 1961 and ever since it has continued its ongoing mission to discover and illustrate Philadelphia’s maritime history and connections. It holds the largest maritime art and artifact collections in North America, features several permanent exhibits, and offers fun water excursions like kayaking. Its biggest on-the-water offerings are the Cruiser Olympia, the oldest floating steel warship that is docked nearby, and the Submarine Becuna, a World War II-era Balao-class submarine."

"Because the city of Philadelphia is surrounded by three rivers—the Delaware, the Schuylkill, and the Wissahickon—the area has played a major role in the country’s maritime history. Outside the Independence Seaport Museum are two docked historic vessels: a World War II submarine and a warship dating back to the Spanish-American war. Head inside to explore a number of commercial and naval exhibits for visitors of all ages."

"A hidden gem nestled within the University City neighborhood on the University of Pennsylvania campus, the Penn Museum is dedicated to anthropology and archaeology. The collection is comprised of art and artifacts largely discovered by the University's own archaeologists and researchers in the 19th and early-20th centuries. Galleries are organized by geography and culture, and include China and Japan, The Middle East, Egypt, Mexico and Central America, Native Americans, Ancient Rome and Greece, and Ancient Israel."

"With one of the best archeology and anthropology collections in the United States, this museum boasts over 30 galleries displaying items from around the world. Exhibits range from Egyptian mummies to Greek coins, from musical instruments from Africa to Native American totem poles. The collections were enhanced by expeditions run by the school to various areas, and even contain several world famous items."

"Located in East Falls with a distinct neighborhood feel, Fiorino is an intimate spot with a rustic vibe that never fails to deliver when it comes to delicious Italian food. Reserve your seat for lunch or dinner and tuck into platters of white wine mussels or a classic avocado shrimp cocktail, followed by pasta dishes like spaghetti with clams or tagliatelle Bolognese. Entrees feature prime meats, chicken, and fresh seafood – think chicken battuta, Franco's saltimbocca, or the seafood-heavy spaghetti scoglio – and desserts to end off on a sweet note include tiramisu, cannoli, and panna cotta."

"3572 Indian Queen Ln Fiorino is a top-rated Italian BYOB eatery famous for its romantic, personal setting. Here, the soft-spoken Chef Franco Faggi makes soulful Italian cuisines to that relay his Emiglia-Romagna roots. Furthermore, the restaurant hosts occasional cooking classes for any food enthusiast, so you can sample your favorite stuffed pork chops or Eggplant Rotallini, and then learn how to prepare it using choice ingredients."

"Panorama is yet another fine Italian establishment that takes its wine pairings very seriously, and luckily it’s stocked with plenty of options to try -- 120 on tap and 150 bottles -- that won't leave you penniless. Stop by for wine flights of five carefully selected samples, but don’t forget to eat, too: Pasta dishes are available in half and full sizes (perfect if you simply can’t choose between the burrata-filled pasta or the lamb shoulder agrodolce), and the antipasti dishes are perfectly portioned for those wine samples."

"It features an incredibly extensive wine program with many wines on tap, as well as noteworthy and hard-to-find Italian bottles. The elegantly modern bar and restaurant invites guests to relax and sip wine while tasting an array of Italian delights, including antipasti offerings and entrées like fusilli pasta with lamb, chicken sautéed in mushrooms, and pesce (fish) of the day. Be sure to stop by for their happy hour—it's one of the best in town."

"L'Angolo Ristorante is an inviting BYOB neighborhood charmer complete with Italian men sitting out front, playing cards and drinking red wine. Featuring a cozy dining room and an open kitchen out of which flows delicious, traditional Italian fare, L'Angolo is popular with the locals and Friday and Saturday nights are packed, so be sure to reserve a table to avoid disappointment. The mouthwatering appetizers and small plates far outweigh the entrees so tuck into grilled calamari, mussels with crostini or pan-seared smoked mozzarella before trying one of the superbly done pasta dishes and house specialties."

"Deep in South Philly, L’angolo offers traditional Italian fare inspired by the region of Puglia, where co-owner Davide Faenza grew up. Its proximity to the stadiums makes it a go-to for families or groups before (or after) a concert or show, which has helped lure many guests since opening in 2000. More alluring, though, is the spot’s steadfast dedication to classic Italian, like the grilled calamari, the seafood spaghetti with mussels, clams, shrimp, and yet more calamari, or basically any dish that has fresh mozzarella in it."

"L’Angolo deservedly continually receives top reviews for its traditional, tasty Italian cuisine and refined, rustic setting. The restaurant focusses on the flavors of Puglia, a sunny region in southern Italy, and serves a delicious lobster ravioli with a blush sauce made in a tantalizingly traditional style.
