I visited on a Monday morning, and it was quiet. I was able to take some pictures and was glad to see the decorations for the Chinese Lantern Festival. I wished I could have been there at night, as the displays looked very festive and colorful. The water fountain show added to the dramatic atmosphere and enhanced the attraction. The restrooms were very clean, and filtered drinking water fountains were available.

We went to the Franklin Square for the annual Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival. The event was just loaded with notable Chinese Cultural presentations including the Chinese Zodiac to stage shows with acrobatic feats as well as educational presentations on creating traditional Chinese noodles and a central fountain that pulsates water jets and lights accompanied by traditional Chinese music. Later in the evening, we were treated to an awesome display of lighting of all of the many exhibits. Not to be missed are the many Chinese restaurants that have created booths with some of the best tasting Chinese food from the Philadelphia area!! All present had a great experience which we will try to duplicate again in the future. The Festival runs from June 5th through August 15th with loads of parking nearby.

Small but cute place. I particularly liked the fountain. They have good entertainment for the kids and families. Plenty of place to sit and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
