Other then having tickets for the Barnes Foundation on the day we arrive (Sunday, we have no plans. I am looking for suggestions.
Thank you.

Are you interested in the historical sites? If so. start at the Visitors Center and get tickets for Independence Hall. They are free, but have a specific time on them. Also go to the the Constitution Center and the Liberty Bell. Everything is in one area. There are several good walk tours also.
You and your son would probably love the Franklin Institute Museum.

The Philly Zoo is fun or you might want to check out the aquarium just across the river in Camden, NJ - http://www.njaquarium.org/index.html. I think the aquarium closes down in the winter so I don't know if October would be too late.

If you don't mind your 10 year old son seeing things that might be a little disturbing, I would suggest the Mutter Museum. It is dedicated to disease and medical oddities and is really facinating and educational. Just look it up online to be sure that you're ok with taking your son. He'd probably love it!
