The 26 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia

"Visiting this gallery-slash-outdoor sculpture garden feels like you've stepped into the mind of Philadelphia’s beloved mosaic artist, Isaiah Zagar: His creations are beautiful, and often surreal, places. The project, which covers three city lots, is a melange of mirror fragments, tiles, and found objects like bike wheels and glass bottles, combined to mesmerizing effect. A walk through the indoor and outdoor space doesn’t take long, and there’s plenty for kids to enjoy, making it an ideal weekend pitstop for families exploring the city. If you can’t swing the $15 entry fee, you can still peer into the garden from the South Street entrance, and wander the neighborhood to spot other walls covered with Zagar’s work." - Regan Stephens, Devra Ferst
