Philly Zoo, numerous museums, Camden (NJ - over the bridge) Please Touch Aquarium, etc.

There's a lot to do here!

Phillies games are awesome fun since they built the new stadium, if you are into that kind of thing. The art museum is classic and boathouse row is right up the way. Of course, there's the historic scene, like the liberty bell and independance hall. During the summer, there are oftentimes events at Penn's Landing - a variety of attractions - it's probably worth checking out on their website prior to going over. Have fun!

I would definatly say take in the historic part of the city around 5th and market. You could also visit the Philadelphia Zoo, Franklin Institute and The Art Museum. Around the 5th and Market sites you could also take a horse and carriage ride which is beautiful to do on a summer night. But I most definatly recommend the "Ride the Duck" ride. They do have a website but I'm not sure what it is. It gives you a street tour which is amazing then goes in the Delaware river and is very fun and I promise your family will have tons of fun. If you come during 4th of July their are tons of activites but you usually can't find out about the specifics till about May and it's called the "Welcome American Celebration" and they have a website as well that you could look up.
