    Fun family entertainment and a beautiful park are just steps away from the Liberty Bell, in one of William Penn’s original five squares. 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, and the Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel. 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, or enjoy a rest next to the refreshing fountain. All summer long, enjoy a 150-ton sand sculpture honoring the Philadelphia Phillies, a Once Upon A Nation storyteller, and free balloon animals on weekends. Named Top 10 Playground in the United States by Dream On Travel.
