🦖 A Final Visit to a Philadelphia Landmark! Join Divertical for a special trip to the Academy of Natural Sciences before its museum closes its doors at the end of September.
After more than 200 years of history, the Academy has announced that its museum at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will close on September 30, 2026. This makes our visit a unique opportunity to experience the museum and its incredible exhibits while we still can.
Come explore the Academy one last time with us and see some of the things that have made it such a memorable Philadelphia attraction, including towering dinosaur skeletons, fascinating wildlife displays, life-sized models, the live butterfly garden, interactive exhibits, and much more. From dinosaurs and fossils to butterflies and wildlife, there’s plenty to discover throughout the museum. The Academy has been a Philadelphia institution for generations, and we want to take the opportunity to enjoy it together before this chapter comes to an end.
🍽️ After the Museum Once we’re finished exploring, we’ll walk over to City Tap House for a later lunch. It will be a great chance to grab some delicious food, relax, and spend time together after our museum adventure. Whether you’ve visited the Academy many times before or have never been, this is your chance to experience it with Divertical before the museum closes.
Come join us for a memorable afternoon of dinosaurs, nature, discovery, great food, and wonderful company!
