The Universoul Circus was a show you dont want to miss. I enjoyed each act. You could see the hard work and dedication put into each performance. My favorite was the men and boy catapult group. The young talent was amazing to watch. I loved the dancing and the part where they picked 4 audience members to serenade each other. Great addition to the show. No seat was really a bad seat. I do feel like the section I sat in didnt get as much attention as the other sections, however we had an amazing time. The show was a bit pricey as cotton candy cost 15.00 and a box of popcorn cost the same wayer and soda surprised me costing 4.00 for soda and 3.00 for water thought for sure those prices would be higher. I did not like the street parking, however i was able to find a safe spot. Neighborhood was sketchy. Even with the outrageous prices and scrappy parking options this night was unforgettable.

A decent spot to spread a blanket, read a book, nap, or just enjoy a break in the middle of the city. Wish the city would take care of it more and police it more - as its proximity to poorer sections of the city attracts some folks that do not clean up after themselves, insist on playing loud music (I mean like loud enough to hear a mile away), and generally just destroy things. The immediate area provides baseball/softball fields for leagues and other events and the large open field as well as connecting trails through West Fairmount Park serve as the cross-country course for local high school and college races. It's also a popular spot to watch fireworks on holidays when the city uses the nearby Philadelphia Museum of Art as the staging point. But come early or be prepared to park further away in the park and walk over on holidays such as July 4th as it gets VERY crowded.

Belmont Plateau is one of the best spots in Philly for a skyline view. It’s simple and open, with plenty of space to sit, picnic, or just relax. The sunset views over the city are especially beautiful. A peaceful place to get some fresh air without leaving the city.

This event was okay I wanted to do something I feel as though the money that I pay for VIP was not worth it. Thank you for my drink. They give me a nice beverage, but when I went into the place going to the vendors, was they hike the price up even more. I thought that it would’ve been a couple of vendors in there that I was gonna get a nice little meal or something. The price for one player was like $31 for four wings, macaroni and cheese and yams milkshake with $10 I fell though I spent a lot in this venue, but I just want to go and just say I did something and want to help at night time. This venue gets dark. If you handicap like me, you’re not gonna be able to walk around there I had a light a little light but I really couldn’t see at all. The music was OK something you can jam to thank you. The VIP section was OK somewhere I can sit at they had food, but I think I came too late and I had three pieces of chicken wings, small wing things. I paid $71. Thank you for the experience. I don’t think I will be returning because it was too dark at night time and I had to find VIP. Nobody told me oh you can sit over there with a VIP section. I don’t know it was just so not really organized but it’s just me I guess.

Belmont Plateau offers some of the best views of the city, especially during sunset. We had an amazing time taking in the scenery, watching the sun dip behind the skyline. It was a peaceful moment, and the surrounding park was perfect for unwinding. The only downside was some smoke and a nearby fire that slightly blocked the view, but it didn’t take away from the overall beauty. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful Philly sunset!

This is such a beautiful and quiet place. I attended my cousin Prince Uriah Destiny Tardeh’s graduation commencement ceremony Class of 2025 Swarthmore Community College. It’s so peaceful and I enjoyed the amusement and fun activities they have here too.
