Have you made plans to visit Dilworth Park this winter? It’s a treat that no Philadelphians will want to miss. Here are 5 reasons why everyone should go to Dilworth Park for the holidays!  

 

  1. Ice Skating

Lace up the skates and show us your moves on the Rothman Ice Skating Rink. Every year, this outdoor rink is constructed just for the holiday season. Take in the beautiful scenery of City Hall while skating to your favorite festive tunes! But be sure to watch out for the kids when performing that triple axel!

 

  1. Rothman Institute Cabin

Right after you’ve finished skating, warm up in the Rothman Cabin adjacently located to the rink. The cabin is sure to satisfy with a range of tasty comfort foods and warm beverages, and be sure to look out for Happy Hour deals on Wednesday nights from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.!
