Philadelphia as a Destination for Incentive Trips
Are you looking for an easy to access, unique location for your next Incentive trip? Philadelphia has so much to offer incentive groups, here’s why: U.S. News & World Report ranked Philadelphia as No. 2 among “Best Places to Visit in the U.S.” Philadelphia boasts over 16,000 hotel rooms and is home to over 1,000 restaurants and eateries. Bon Appetit ranked Philadelphia as “One of America’s Greatest Eating Cities,” which is no surprise as Philadelphia is home to some of the top chefs and restaurateurs in the nation. With over twenty craft breweries in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, the city was named as one of the “Best Beer Cities in America” by GQ magazine. See below for some experiences we would offer to groups looking for incentive trips in Philadelphia!
- Rowing on the Schuylkill and Lunch on Boathouse Row – Rowing down the Schuylkill River past Philadelphia’s famous Boathouse Row is always a memorable event. A time honored Philly attraction, Boathouse Row is the home of renowned Philadelphia rowing clubs, made famous by Princess Grace’s brother, Philadelphian Jack Kelly, a longtime rowing enthusiast. The group will have the opportunity to learn about rowing, receive a demonstration and then operate a boat on their own with the help of an expert in the sport. This is a great chance to engage in an event that is uniquely Philadelphia. The activity will end with a delicious lunch at one of the boathouses on Boathouse Row.
- NASCAR Driving Experience – You will feel like a pro racecar driver when we teach you the basics of driving a racecar and suit you up in an official race suit and safety gear! For the main event you will be strapped into a 600-horsepower NASCAR style stock car. Then you’re off for the drive of your life, traveling up to 160mph around NASCAR’s famous 2.5-mile Pocono Raceway. During your 6-mile experience our pit lane instructor will coach you on the racing line and driving technique as you reach higher speeds on each of your three 8-Lap sessions.
- Lincoln Financial Field Tour and Celebrity Appearance – The group will go on a private tour of “The Linc” where the Philadelphia Eagles play in the National Football League. The exclusive tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at the Xfinity Press Box, Club and Suite Levels, Eagles Home Interview Room, the Locker Room, and the Field. There is the opportunity for a former Eagles player and inspiration behind the movie Invincible, Vince Papale, to come and speak to the group. The group will enjoy a catered lunch on the field if available.
