Mother’s Day is only a week away. If you are a busy person you might want to check out these great ideas for celebrating Mom in Philadelphia this year. Time is running out to buy a gift or make some plans so we thought we would help you out with some great ideas beyond the usual bouquet of flowers and brunch reservation.

Gift a Unique Experience

If your mom is someone who likes to try something new or adventurous this is a great idea. Head to Fever and look over the amazing gift cards for memorable experiences in the Philadelphia area. Treat mom to a concert surrounded by candlelight or a new dining experience of eating dinner while blindfolded to enhance the taste of the food. All offer great adventures around Philly.

Enjoy Spanish Tapas at Olorosa

Not your traditional Sunday brunch. This is a premier Spanish restaurant in the city. Olorosa is located right in the heart of Center City. Hours are extended on Mother’s Day to offer even more people to enjoy their overwhelmingly popular Mother’s Day Brunch.

Mom and Me Jewelry Making

Those cute bracelets aren’t just for Swiftie concertgoers. If your mom enjoys crafting why not head to this fun workshop at the Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia? Nestled into the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood enjoy a fun day of making something one-of-a-kind and special with Mom at this workshop hosted by a local designer and the owner of Feast Jewelry. It is a beginner-level workshop with all the tools and materials provided as well as some yummy food.

Ride a Bus Around the City

Take a fun tour of Philadelphia on a pretty double-decker bus while enjoying tea service. The tours are given through Tea Around Town. This is no ordinary Mother’s Day tea. It adds an extra element of fun and elegance. Have fun and come dressed in your best tea party attire and take in the sights of the city while enjoying a proper tea service.

Enjoy a Wine Tasting

For the older children who owe mom an adult beverage for her years of hard work, take mom to enjoy the extensive list of wines at Panorama Wine Bar. There is a Mother’s Day Prix Fixe Brunch from 11 am to 2;30 on Mother’s Day. It is recommended to make reservations because this is a popular spot.

Create a Stunning Floral Arrangement

Instead of heading to the nearest grocery store or corner florist, why not enjoy making your own floral arrangement and learn a new skill with your mom? Take the floral workshop at Dock Street Brewing Company. This workshop is on the Saturday before Mother’s Day at Dock Street South.

Give Mom a Good Laugh

If your mom just needs the good medicine of laughter take her to the City Winery for brunch and a comedy show. Check out the Brunch So Funny comedy show presented by Soul Comedy featuring stand-up comedians, a DJ, and more. The show is followed by brunch at the Barrel Room with amazing strawberries and cream french toast, omelets, mimosas, and more.

Brunch for the Artsy Mom

If your mom is a fan of the arts don’t take her to just any brunch reservation, reserve a brunch spot at the Philadelphia Art Museum. Enjoy an a la carte menu at the museum restaurant. Feast on entrees like Hong Kong-style French toast, Jambon de Paris, and Avocado Toast. For a sweet treat to cap off a great meal enjoy cookies with fun edible markets to decorate something special for mom.

Philadelphia is full of unique experiences and if you have just moved here or are considering a move here, Mother’s Day is a great opportunity to experience the unique fun the city has to offer.
