Hospice Albert Einstein M
May 25, 2008 by heather from philadelphia

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• The overall care.

“Einstein Hospice gives very poor care. They are inconsistent with nurses they can not keep staff .They take forever to come to see your family member and sign the papers. My mother passed in a nursing home and they never even bothered to call and let us know what and when it happened.”

Lights of Liberty

Overall Rating: 3

• Got a 2 for 1 coupon online.
• Everything else is boring.

“The guy as the crossing guard was the best part. Very low tech. Boring. Too much. Nothing spectacular about it.”

76 Carriage Company
Aug 1, 2007 by Jenni from Philly

Overall Rating: 3

• The history tours are awesome!
• The company behind the scenes.

“Tours are awesome, history is great. You will learn something new each time you go, every driver is different and gives different tours. However, the conditions the horses live in are deplorable. The company has no regard for the law regulating the weather conditions in which horses can be on the streets, and the management in the company leaves something to be desired, and the drivers and barn staff are treated horribly and paid inadequately for the work they do. I do recommend the carriage tours, because they are fun and informative. I would not suggest working there.”

Lights of Liberty
May 1, 2007 by Elijia from Monrovia, Liberia

Overall Rating: 8

• A great over all show.
• When the wind picks up it makes the show less fun.

“This show is a very important part of the historical aspects of the Philadelphia story, the lights of liberty show is the cherry to a wonderful time in historical Philadelphia, the show guides are friendly, informative, and full of energy. The head sets are small and very light weight, so I am not sure what other are referring to about being too big. It is a fun time that just adds to the already loaded historic old town Philadelphia. And my 10, and 14 year old children loved it.”

Philadelphia International Airport
Feb 14, 2007 by Jon from South Jersey

Overall Rating: 3

• Location, variety of destinations.
• Cosmetics, movement between concourses, security.

“As our home base airport, my family and I use Philadelphia int'l about twice a year. It's not the worst of the worst, but not really that great either. It always seems to be under construction, and many parts have a confusing layout. The, b, and c concourses and terminals are nice, and they contain an immense amount of shops. The problem is that all the low cost airlines are in d and e, which don't have a great selection of eateries, and are not in the best condition. It's hard to Navigate between concourses, and most of their security checkpoints only have 4 lanes. They added their current checkpoints post 9-11, and they are really just a section of the hallway blocked off with drywall. Never rented a car here and we never parked at their garage.”

Edgar Allan Poe House
Nov 14, 2006 by bob from bridgewater, NJ

Overall Rating: 8

• The mural on the adjacent apartment, the raven statue, the video, the ranger.
• The walk there from center city is a little stressful, it's not far but the elevated highway makes it weird. The neighborhood is not touristy.

“Interesting site; they could have 'recreated' one room everything is real, but bare walls are the main characteristic.”

The Village Of Arts And Humanities Inc
Aug 22, 2006 by Al & Marion from Austin, TX

Overall Rating: 10

• Beautiful and creative art work.
• Trash in the parks and gardens.

“We very much enjoyed the art in the district. We visited on Sunday, July 3, 2006 at about 11 AM and it was quiet and a beautiful day. We met Jamal Wilson and talked to him about the art work and "Big Man" We saw a TV (PBS) program on the Village and had to see it when we came to Philadelphia Thanks for the work you do.”

Merriam Theater
Apr 9, 2006 by Ted from Oaklyn

Overall Rating: 5

• Good show.
• Sound levels dangerously high.

“We recently went to see the kids show, Dora the Explorer Live.



The show itself was fine, 30 minutes, 20 minute intermission, 30 minute second act, and the building was clean and well maintained. So props to them for that.



But, the sound system was turned up to near rock-concert levels. I got a head ache, I saw several small children holding their ears - the whole thing was well over the recommended safety levels for small children. I will not attend another children show there, and urge everyone else to stay clear until the change their sound levels.


Nice show

Unacceptable sound.”

Lights of Liberty
Oct 5, 2005 by Linda from Lancaster, PA

Overall Rating: 3

• None.
• Heavy, uncomfortable headgear, uninspiring, elementary effects.

“First, the headphones were unbelievably heavy and uncomfortable and could not be adjusted to fit your head. You had to have the earphones to participate in the show. We walked from building to building and stared at very elementary (no high tech here) stationery images shown on the fronts of buildings, walked past what was supposed to be a replica of a Revolutionary War battlefield but was just a heap of junk here and there with fake smoke. All in all, it was a colossal waste of money. We also took the duck boat tour and highly recommend that for being much more informative and fun!”

Liberty Museum
Apr 10, 2005 by Imani S . from PLAINFIELD

Overall Rating: 10

• Flame of Liberty and Jelly Bean People

“I really enjoyed my class trip to the New Liberty Museum. I really like their glass feature of the flame of liberty because I know how fragile glass is and sometimes it can be protective, but the Flame of liberty tells me that all people have feelings that is fragile and can easily be hurt and broken. I also liked the Eyes of The World because everyone that saw that presentation now knows that they are not alone and someone is always watching them even if they don't know it. I really enjoyed my visit and I hope someday I can have another experience that I did February 21 2005 with the College of Maxson Middle School.”
