" Franklin Square Park"

Its just so beautiful and so fun for kids. There's the Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel, an 18-hole miniature golf course decorated with some of Philadelphia’s favorite icons, a gorgeous fountain, storytelling benches and great playground. And for mom and dad, check out Square Burger - a food stand run by Stephen Starr catering that makes amazing burgers and hot dogs!

"Fun with the Family"

Franklin Square, one of the five public squares that William Penn laid out in his original plan for the city, has undergone a dramatic renovation. The park now boasts several all new, family-friendly attractions.
Philly Mini Golf offers eighteen holes decorated with some of Philadelphia’s favorite icons. The classic Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel pays tribute to the city’s great heritage of carousel-making. Local history comes to life on storytelling benches, where families can learn the lore of this famous neighborhood. Restrooms and concessions stands make the square ideal for picnics.
You can do some great research on the Internet before your visit. Check out the Web site of the Independence Visitor Center at www.independencevisitorcenter.com.
The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance Web site, www.phillyfunguide.com, offers a great deal of useful information. The Web site of the Greater Philadelphia Marketing Corporation, www.gophila.com, offers itineraries, events, tours for special interests, and much more.
