This amphitheater-style venue is a beloved destination for both locals and visitors, offering a serene space for relaxation and contemplation.

It’s a place where memories are made under the open sky, against the backdrop of the city’s bustling energy and the river’s tranquil flow.

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.

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.

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.

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.
