Fun experience at the waterfront. Ice skating, games, and a ferris wheel. Fire pits and cabins available to rent. Inexpensive and stuff to do for all ages.

Beautiful spot to sit and people watch while enjoying the gorgeous riverfront. We accessed Penn's Landing from the bridge and entered near the mini golf course. The course was quite crowded but looked to be a lot of fun. Maybe next time I will try it. Worth an hour or so visit to walk along the river and explore.

Lovely location! You can enjoy the place alone or with friends. Great for family and tourists. Beautiful lights at night. Water activities is available but limited. Occasional music activities on the weekends during the summer. Make a time to visit, it is worth the drive.

Beautiful spot to take a stroll by the riverfront. There’s water activities nearby that you can enjoy if needed
