Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 03/18/2024 - 12:01
April Fools Tour
Some events in history are so ridiculous you just can’t make them up. In the April Fools spirit, our guide will tell 3 outlandish stories, 2 of which are false, in this special twist on a museum tour. At the end of the tour, you have to guess which is the real story! You can join this tour at either 12 pm or 3:30 pm. Visitors can reserve their tour slots by calling (215) 946-0400 or emailing [email protected]. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for kids under 12.

Join your friends at NYCHAPS for our April First Friday evening of fun happening on Friday, April 5th, at Dills Tavern beginning at 7 pm. Arrr, shiver me timbers, it's pirate night! And we're celebrating with Stone House Breakdown. Everyone had so much fun at last year's pirate night that we couldn't let our First Friday season end without hosting another one. So come dressed as your favorite pirate and join the fun. Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
