A kids’ version of the famous New Year’s Eve celebration with a dropping “square” in lieu of the famous ball. Penn’s Landing Fireworks visible from Franklin Square.

Fun family entertainment and a beautiful park are just steps away from the Liberty Bell in one of William Penn’s original five squares, now celebrating its 5th Birthday Season. Award-winning Franklin Square is an outdoor amusement oasis located in the heart of Historic Philadelphia, featuring Philly Mini Golf, a renovated vintage marble fountain, playgrounds, the Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel, and the acclaimed SquareBurger, with offerings from Starr Restaurants. After a day of experiencing the treasures of Philadelphia’s history, putt through some of the city’s most famous icons, take a ride on hometown racehorse heroes Afleet Alex or Smarty Jones aboard the carousel, enjoy a rest next to the refreshing fountain, and dine on the finest burgers and shakes in town. Awarded Best of Philly® two times by Philadelphia Magazine, named one of the City’s Best Family Outings by Philadelphia Style, and called one of the top ten playgrounds in the United States by Dream On Travel. Franklin Square: 6th & Race Streets. All hours are weather permitting.
