Quack Quack Philly! A Sensory Musical follows Bell, a cheerful duck who lives along Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River with her family.

Her peaceful life is turned upside down when a powerful storm causes the river to flood, sweeping Bell far from home. After the storm clears, Bell finds herself lost on the other side of the city and sets out on an exciting journey back to the Schuylkill.

Along the way, she experiences different forms of transportation, including a SEPTA bus, the Broad Street Line, and even an unexpected airplane ride above the city.

As she travels through Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, parks, and landmarks, Bell meets memorable friends, including a clever Philly Rat who knows the city’s shortcuts and a wise tortoise from the Philadelphia Zoo.

Together they explore the sounds, textures, smells, and surprises of Philadelphia in a heartwarming sensory adventure filled with music, movement, imagination, and local pride.

Things to Know:

  • Each audience member receives a bag of objects that will be used throughout the performance to help bring Bell’s adventure to life and guide her safely home.
  • This performance will be offered twice, 11:00 a.m.–noon and 1:00–2:00 p.m.
  • Show run time is around 30 minutes.
  • Free registration required. General museum admission not included.
