If you do not mind driving around a bit, philly and the brandywine valley might be of interest. In addition to being a place of history, including a Jewish museum, there is also a frum community. It has world class art and science museums and if any of the high schoolers want to look at a college with a frum population, u of penn would be in session with one of the finest hillels in America. Venturing beyond the city, Longwood Gardens has no peer as a botanic garden and a little south into Delaware, Winterthur attracts visitors from around the world to see the furnishing collections. West toward Lancaster is a different kind of frum community, that of the Amish Mennonites. While it is a little touristy, there are railroad museums, horse & buggies, and some open farms as well as a few reasonably authentic farmers markets. And then there are some of the largest collection of shopping outlets around.
