RITTENHOUSE SQUARE REVIEWS

Beautiful park in a nice neighborhood. It was still decked out with beautiful lights! Plenty of benches to enjoy a nice night and a cup of hot chocolate :). Lots of people walking their dogs Wide, even walkways make this park welcoming and very accessible.

Rittenhouse Square is one of Philadelphia's crown jewels for outdoor space. The park is small but beautiful, it reminds us of Madison Square Park in NYC. A must visit if you're in the area as the Square has tons of nice shops, restaurants, and expensive real estate all around this area of the city.

Peaceful park in the middle of the city. Lots of flowers, shrubs, trees and benches. We visited on Easter and there was live music on the street. There are several bronze sculptures and a fountain to see as well.

FRANKLIN SQUARE REVIEWS

I had a bit of a unique experience because I visited during the Chinese lantern festival. It looked like the square was still open during the day for free when we drove by, but we paid for the festival, and my girlfriend and I both think it was 100% worth it! The lanterns were amazing, and we entered awestruck! The lanterns were huge, and some of them were even interactive! It took a while to walk around, see everything, and try to view all of the lanterns moving! We also paid for mini golf, which was fun, and we love to play, but I'd recommend just getting the pass for the festival and seeing how incredible the lanterns look. Each display also had a sign with a short explanation of the importance of the animals in Chinese culture. My favorite part was the massive lanterns in the fountain and how it had a mini water show with music and many moving parts. It was about $28 per person, but worth every dollar!

I go here annually for the Chinese Lantern Festival, and I have nothing bad to say! Beautiful lanterns, great concessions, and a ton of stuff to do in the park. Also, the newly completed Franklin Sqaure Station provides access to the park by train. Highly recommended!

Beautiful park and absolutely gorgeous installations for the annual Chinese lantern festival. Park is in a good condition and there’re lots of available parking across the street. I recommend visiting this park if you’re in Philadelphia for the summer!

FAIRMOUNT PARK REVIEWS

One of the most beautiful places I’ve visited at my time in Philadelphia. I can’t explain enough how amazing watching sunset was in this park. Pictures don’t do it justice. Not only was the weather just perfect today, but the trees and scenery of whole place is just relaxing and filled with positive energy. This is a great park to walk, run, bike, or just sit and read a book under a tree. I can’t wait for fall to fully arrive so I can revisit this place.

Love this place. Very spacious for a private picnic or family gatherings. The park is often pretty cleaned, however, it has been difficult to find a cleaned and well maintained bathroom. Overall, great place.

Great visit to the children's playground. The great wooden slide built in the 1890s was the hit, but the other playground features were creative and fun too.
