Is Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition Worth It?

We came to Philadelphia to experience some of the special exhibits and events created for America's 250th anniversary, and our first stop was Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition at the Franklin Institute. In this video, we'll take you inside the exhibit, explore some of the Franklin Institute's permanent attractions, and answer the question: Is Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition worth adding to your Philadelphia itinerary? The exhibit is open through September 7, 2026 and features artifacts, and experiences inspired by Universal theme parks and some of their most recognizable franchises. 🎢 Planning a Universal vacation?
