Philadelphia Philadelphia airport - child friendly?
Posted: Sat June 30, 2007 07:52 PM UTC
We will have a stopover of a couple of hours in Philadelphia. Two people traveling with a one-year-old. Can you recommend any child-friendly spots there?

Philadephia airport is actually one of the nicer ones. There is a shopping concourse with stores like the Gap, Yankee Candle and Bath and Body. Also some pretty good places to eat (not just McDonalds). The airport has placed white rocking chairs around the terminal for visitors to relax in. Overall a pretty good place to have a layover.
