ESL Students spent 5 days exploring historic Philadelphia and the sights and wonders of New York City this April vacation.

Among the sites seen were:

  • Fairmont Park, the world’s largest urban landscaped park with over 5,000 acres and two million trees, and home to America's oldest zoo.
  • Franklin Institute Science Museum, founded 175 years ago to honor Benjamin Franklin and advance the usefulness of his inventions.
  • The historic waterfront district, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross' House, and much more.

In New York, the group lunched in Midtown Manhattan, toured Soho and Greenwich Village, saw the view from the top of the Empire State Building, visited Times Square, Central Park, Chinatown, saw a Broadway show, visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, shopped on Fifth Avenue, and more.
