Outdoor roller skating rink (rent skates or bring your own!)
Ferris wheel & boardwalk rides
Mini golf & arcade games
Food vendors with classic treats like funnel cake, crab fries, and ice cream
Shaded seating + hammocks to relax with little ones
Best of all? Entry is FREE - you only pay for what you want to do!
Open now through early September
Located at 101 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia
Close to Spruce Street Harbor Park and Cherry Street Pier - make it a full day out!
Great for toddlers and tweens (plus parents can chill and snack by the water)
It’s one of those rare spots that feels like a mini vacation without leaving the city. Whether you’re skating, riding, or just enjoying the view, Summerfest brings all the nostalgic fun of summer with a Philly twist.
