#PhillyFive Things to Do: Feb. 10, 2015

A few items to get you through that early week slump.

For a hole in one: A green and environment-focused mini golf course, designed by the Academy of Natural Sciences, features holes themed around the lifecycle of a butterfly, dinosaurs, bird migration and more is open for golfers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Linvilla Orchards (137 W. Knowlton Rd., Media, Pa.).

For a lunchtime chat: Learn about political corruption throughout American history from law professor and political organizer Zephyr Teachout — who'll be signing her book "Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin's Snuff Box to Citizens United — at noon at the National Constitution Center (525 Arch St.).

For adults: Ditch the kids and take on the Franklin Institute (222 N. 20th St.) when it's transformed into a speakeasy from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for drinks, Lindy Hop and Charleston dance lessons, home brewing and other "outlawed" activities of the '20s.

For a night of the opera: Take in a night of Italian sounds with Puccini's "La Boheme," the story of young destitute artists in Paris in the 19th century, with the Academy of Vocal Arts' production of the show at the Helen Corning Warden Theater (1920 Spruce St.). Curtains are at 7:30 p.m.

For a kickoff: The first night of the Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival, a six-night live music jaunt at The Fire (412 W. Girard Ave.), is tonight with performers Marshall Allen of Sun Ra Arkestra, Alumbrados (whose members include musicians from Bardo Pond) and more. The show starts at 8 p.m.
