Looking for fun, can-be-touristy activities to do with visiting family who have a hard time walking / standing for a long time (but do not use wheelchair). She has been to Philly many times but as she gets older a lot of our old walking around stuff isn’t a good fit anymore. Anyone have any good suggestions for activities with seniors (ideally that are also enjoyable for kiddos)?

How about going to a show of some kind? The Kimmel Center always has a lot of different music, theater, and dance type events going on at multiple venues.

River front has activities for kids and food and beverages for adults. Franklin Square is only a couple blocks from the river, they also have different events going on. Museums, zoo
