Penn's Landing

3.5 Stars. Penn's Landing is fun gathering spot on the edge of the Delaware River. You can pay $7.00 to take the ferry over to the Jersey side if you're going to check out the aquarium, catch a ball game at Campbell's Field or jam out to your favorite band at the Susquehanna Bank Center.

However, they also host a number of varying events and concerts during the year, obviously concentrated around the nicer weather months. We had a ball viewing the crazies participating in the Redbull Flutag on the water last September. In the winter, you can enjoy testing out your leg muscles you forgot existed by skating around the seasonally constructed ice rink with friends/family.

So, check out the calendar and find a reason to stop by Philly's waterfront.

Come any time on a weekend and you are bound to find a concert or festival going on. I have gone to a foodie festival, Indian culture festival, and even saw Donna Summer in concert here years ago! My favorite time to come here is during the summer for the Independence Day fireworks. Yes, you can stay on the Jersey side and watch from Campbell's Field..but there's nothing like taking Patco into 8th & Market, walking and stopping for an ice cream at Franklin Fountain and then taking your ice cream to the river to watch fireworks.

This is why I look forward to the Spring & Summer months. I have been coming to Penn's Landing ever since I was a child and it never seems to disappoint me. I love coming here in the mornings because it's such a relaxing spot to ease my mind. During the Summer, they have the various events like the festivals and concerts that draws the large crowds from different ethnic backgrounds. My Fiancé and I love coming down here just to take long walks looking over the Delaware River and New Jersey. Penn's Landing will always be a spot I will always enjoy coming to no doubt about it.
