Philly Photo Pop Winter Wonderland



Looking for a different and fun way to capture a family holiday photo or something different to do with the family over the holidays?  I recently had the chance to check out Philly Photo Pop located in Old City at The Bourse.  The Bourse has been renovated on the inside and now is a food hall.  Philly Photo Pop is Philadelphia's first interactive art exhibit of its kind. Guests make their way through different rooms filled with 30 interactive displays designed by local artists. Each room is decorated with different winter themes and you can take photos with backdrops and accessories to make the perfect photo.  The staff can also assist in taking the perfect photo. I loved the fact that tickets are timed so you have enough time to take a lot of pictures.  Another feature I liked was they have hooks located at each scene to hang your coat, this is extremely important this time of year.  





Winter Wonderland is now open until January 5th




You can purchase tickets before you arrive and you can use the code  DELCOKIDS10 to receive 10% off adult tickets!
