Whether you enjoy skiing, amusements, or seeing historic sites, there are plenty of winter activities to do near Philadelphia. Families living in area are fortunate that Philly is located close to so many options for a winter weekend road trip.
We've rounded up some of our favorite spots to explore and included the most up-to-date information for out-of-state travel during these unusual times. Current recommendations from the state Department of Health require travelers older than 11 to produce a negative COVID test or quarantine for 10 days upon returning from out-of-state travel. This does not apply to those who return from traveling outside the state within 24 hours. Be sure to check for COVID-19 travelers information updates before you travel.
