Team they will be 100% fine left alone. [/b]Can't even believe this is a question.[/quote]

People here never cease to amaze me. Drinks at the bar and  theme park trips are reasons to leave your kids in a hotel room.  And you cannot guarantee the bolded. [/quote]

You can never guarantee this even when leaving kids alone in your own home. You can also never guarantee that you won't die in a car accident anytime you get into your car.
  I'd still say there is a 99.9999% chance that the kids will be just fine.

[b]But it's in your own home and your own car versus a hotel. What do you people not understand about this?[/b][/quote]

Okay, please explain it to me, because I obviously do not understand. As much as I would wish for it to be the case, my house does not have magical anti-disaster properties. My house could get struck by lightning just as easily as the hotel. I could get in a car accident going to the grocery store near my house or going to Hershey park.

Because if your child had to escape their own home for some reason, they could likely go to a neighbor that they know for help.  If they have to evacuate the hotel, they are in a huge crowd of strangers in the middle of downtown Philadelphia.  
If OP could find a hotel where she was next door to the museum and could easily run back to the room, that's one thing.  But I don't recall that being an option at the Please Touch Museum.  I would be ok leaving a 10 and 12 yo together while I went down to the bar for a drink or even to attend sessions at a conference in the same hotel (not at 6 and 7, that's insane).  But to be a mile or two away when they are in a strange city...no. [/quote]
