Winters in Franklin Square are once again illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights, transforming the historic park into a winter wonderland. The Electrical Spectacle Light Show, now back for its seasonal run, will be displayed every 30 minutes from Thursday to Sunday evenings through February 28th.
Visitors can warm up by the outdoor fire pits or indulge in hot beverages with optional spirits, while also trying their hand at street curling – a no-ice version of the Olympic sport. Those looking for some friendly competition can book a session for just $10 per hour.
Mini golfers of all ages will be treated to two unique winter-themed courses: Chilly Philly Mini Golf and its LOVE-themed counterpart. The latter, open from February 1st onwards, features miniature versions of Philadelphia landmarks alongside seasonal décor and music.
A new addition to Franklin Square's evening offerings is Frosty’s Fireside Lodge – a heated pop-up bar serving handcrafted cocktails, warm cider drinks, and seasonal snacks. Comfort food with winter-inspired twists can be enjoyed at SquareBurger during both daytime and evening hours.
Special events will also take place throughout the season, including Boozy Ben's Birthday bash on January 10-11, as well as Martin Luther King Jr. Service Weekend from January 17-19. Valentine’s-themed mini golf on February 14th and Presidents’ Day Quizzo on February 14-15 are just a couple of highlights.
Winter in Franklin Square runs daily from 10 am to 7 pm, with evening festivities taking place from 5 pm onwards. Visitors can easily access the park via PATCO or SEPTA, or opt for nearby parking options.
Franklin Square will remain open through February 28th at 6th & Race Streets in Philadelphia, PA.

Plus, the mini golf courses sound like a total blast - LOVE-themed mini golf? I'm in 
! And can we talk about how awesome it is that they're offering street curling sessions for just $10/hour? It's like, accessible fun for everyone 
. Bring on the winter wonderland vibes and let's make this season one to remember 
i've been meaning to check it out but never got around to it... can't wait for them to turn on though! and omg mini golf? street curling? frosty's fireside lodge sounds like the perfect spot to cozy up with a drink and some snacks 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good game of curling to get those endorphins going? And mini golf with winter themes? That's just too much fun! 
️. The events calendar looks pretty packed too - Boozy Ben's Birthday bash and Valentine's-themed mini golf are definitely on my radar 
. One thing that might be worth considering is accessibility for visitors with mobility issues, since the park is quite big 
. But overall, it sounds like Franklin Square is going to be a great place to spend some chilly winter evenings 
. I mean, $10 an hour for street curling? That's like the cost of living crisis, right there. And mini golf with LOVE-themed courses? It's just another example of how we're always looking for ways to "love" ourselves into debt 
.
️. And let's not forget about the events - Boozy Ben's Birthday bash sounds like just another excuse for us to party, while our social services continue to struggle. I mean, what's next? A Presidents' Day party at City Hall? 
... and have you seen the new "Frosty's Fireside Lodge" bar? It feels way too corporate for a small park like Franklin Square 
... plus, all these special events just seem to be a distraction from something real going on 
. And what's up with all the mini golf courses? They're basically just setting people up to get overpriced 
It's all just too suspicious for me...
