Enjoy the City!

There’s plenty more to do in Philadelphia during your stay, however brief it may be. Cost-effective ideas include seeing the many historical museums the city has to offer, attending a Phillies game, or stopping by the filming location of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Paddy’s Pub. Grab a cheesesteak while you’re at it (just don’t get the kind with cheese wiz, go for provolone).

So, whether you’re going alone or with friends, everyone from The Game Haus hopes that this can be a fun and exciting way to experience all the OWL has to offer on it’s biggest stage.
