Super Bowl Sunday is among us! Although we don’t have a New York team in the match, it doesn’t mean the entire family can’t have an excuse to go out and have fun during the big day. Here are a few things that you and the kids can do the day of the Super Bowl as well as ideas for places to go to enjoy the Philly and New England match-up.
