Philly's awesome! Do you know where you're staying? Will you have access to a car? Do you feel comfortable using public transportation?
Do you like food? Philly's a food town. A site I use is www.uwishunu.com which is sponsored by the tourism council and features current happenings around the city.

We went to Dave and Busters and loved it. We have only been to Philly once (didnt do anything since we were there for a wedding), but we are going back in December.

List of places to go and you won't find me at any of them.
Theaters:
Walnut St
Merriam
Acadamy of Music
Music
Kimmel Center
Academy of Music
Art
Philadelphia Art Museum
Barnes Foundation.
Science
Franklin Institute.
Academy of Science
Philadelphia Zoo
History
Independence Hall
Constitution Center
City Hall
Most of the action is going to be in Center City and within about a 1 mile radius of City Hall. There is nothing to see in the Northeast, West Phila, North Phila. You probably should not go to North Phila without a police escort.
Do not go to Pats or Genos. Do not take advice from anyone that recommends Pats or Genos.

I'm more interested in places that are not very know by tourist. Like some good places to go eat or things to that you can only find in Phili other then the usally tourist spots.

I grew up in Philly, and everytime I go back I have to have a cheesesteak, a hoagie, and TastyKakes. (Sorry Hostess products don't even come close to them!)

Agree on the TastyKakes. And don't forget to buy a soft pretzel from a street vendor while you're there (mustard optional).
And personally, I prefer Jim's Steaks on South Street to Pat's or Geno's.
