Things to Do
Dilworth Park (5 minute walk from the venue)
Updated with holiday activities, Dilworth Park is a short walk away from the venue and the hotels! Located right outside City Hall, the park will be decorated fort the holidays and even transforms to a skating rink during winter months.
Franklin Square (15 minute walk from the venue)
Franklin Square is one of William Penn’s original squares. It is a beautiful park area that serves as quiet green space for the community. By night, the all-ages attraction hits a switch and shimmers with hundreds of thousands of dazzling LED lights. The free Electrical Spectacle Light Show captivates guests with a twinkling light display inspired by the square’s namesake Founding Father and set to holiday classics by global superstars and local icons. Under that technicolor glow, you can explore the park’s other wintery activities. Take a spin around the Parx Liberty Carousel, putt a few rounds on the Chilly Philly Mini Golf course, or try your hand at street curling.
