    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.

    I had a good experience sightseeing in Pennsylvania at this time. It’s my first time to being a tourist there. It’s so much fun and convenient on Hop-on Hop-off bus.

    Went with two other friends and my partner who had capital blue cross. That covered the entrance fee of two people. So me and my partner payed 24 for skates together. The rink was just freshly buffered and we starting skating with tons of people which was lots of fun. We did have to pay $1 in quarters just to hold our shoes which I though was kinda money grabby. The food was over priced I really didn’t want to pay $5 for just a regular hotdog or $6 for cheap nachos. There was an arcade which was cool. I played space invaders with my partner however it did eat up a dollar off the play card that we had to buy which prevented me from playing in the first round. I would go again but I would highly recommend bringing in your own skates!

    Great atmosphere. Get away from the hustle n bustle of life, n enjoy some time to yourself or with your loved one. For me it's lonely at the top so I accept it and enjoy it as well. I'm at peace so shall it be.

    Information for the smooth jazz summer Friday evening concerts in phl are ALWAYS sketchy and vague! Can't find Information for the event 2 days prior yet you want us to spend our money in the city. Some of us like to plan instead of flying by the seat of our pants!!!

    We've enjoyed our trips to Penn's Landing every time. There are so many activities different activities during the summer there is something for everyone. You can do many, many things from carnival-style games, a beer garden, restaurants and food stands and hammock lounge, rent swan boats, kayaks for a light paddle around the marina. You can enjoy firework displays, full length movies, concerts of all sorts. At the RiverRink you can roller skate in the summer and ice skate in the winter, there is a ferris wheel as well as amusement rides, mini golf. Located near Penn's Landing Marina on south end is the Cruiser Olympia and submarine Becuna are anchored to be visited. This whole area makes a fascinating picture backdrop from the water at sunset. Enjoy we have many times.

    Came here for screenings under the stars and it was fantastic! You can pretty much get a good seat anywhere if you come to watch a movie, sound and video quality is great especially for being free. Other than the movie showings it's a great and adorable park by the river at Penn's Landing! Great for hanging out and it is very pretty.

    I toured the plaza for the scenery along the river. It was a nice, relaxing space. The view is great. You can see the Benjamin Franklin Bridge running into Camden, NJ. It was also cool to see the Battleship down the river, and the old sailing ship parked along the landing. This spot is great for photography and getting very close to the river. I can't comment on how events are here though.

    The Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing has always been one of my favorite places in Philly. It’s a nice gathering spot for cultural and holiday events throughout the year and usually free to the public. I was there on 5/27/23 for Memorial Day festivities including a free to the public show by singer Tara Hendricks followed by fireworks. Even if nothing is going on it’s still a nice place to go to just sit by the water and chill. One star deducted because the restrooms can be updated.

  • 5/5 Kris W. 9 months ago on Google
    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.

    Nice to see Penn's Landing up and running. But whoever runs this place has to keep it clean. It is a mess. And if you love the smell of pot, you'll feel right at home.

  • 5/5 Hitesh V. 10 months ago on Google
    Very pleasant place to visit. We like to come here many times, on the weekends, with guests, to watch Fireworks on the 4th of July. This time, we were here to participate in the celebration of Independence Day of India. Organised by Council of Indian Organisations and sponsered by PECO.

    Plenty of space to enjoy whatever live act is performing. There was a Latin Music performance last time we were there, and it was wonderful. The energy was palpable, and we still had room to move freely.

    It's been years since I was here, and the concert tonight WITH Damien Escobar was a perfect way to reintroduce myself to the wonderful buzzing nightlife!

  • 5/5 Elaine F. 4 years ago on Google
    Every year I look forward to the four incredible Friday’s to sit in the sun and enjoy music from great smooth jazz players. Now that the virus is out here I am wondering whether my favorite thing I do every summer will still happen. I’m going to miss all the people gathering to hear smooth jazz on the waterfront.

  • 2/5 C R. 4 years ago on Google
    Underutilised Soviet-style public concrete plaza composed primarily of stairs. Attempts are made to activate the poorly designed public spaces with festivals. Accessible if you know where to go; there is a ramp from the upper level down to the waterside along the south edge.

    The parking price is expensive knowing that it could be cheaper comparing to what you can do there ... the Jersey side is free and you can walk along the river
