Things To Do
JFK Plaza (Love Park)
For a classic photo op, to Love Park, where Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE statue is of course thematically relevant during any wedding weekend.
Penn's Landing Marina
Stroll along the Delaware riverfront at Penn’s Landing, a sprawling extravaganza of entertainment with endless activities and eateries perfect for the whole family. In warmer months, catch an al fresco yoga class or take in a concert. When the temperatures drop, there’s ice skating and beer gardens to warm you up and to keep you entertained.
Reading Terminal Market
One of the oldest and largest public markets in the country, Reading Terminal Market is meant to be visited with an empty stomach and a sense of curiosity. It offers a smorgasbord of delicious foods to try, including soft pretzels, barbecue chicken, Philly cheesesteaks and whoopie pies
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
About a mile from the hotel, Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is an explosion of creativity, an indoor/outdoor museum of mosaics created by artist Isaiah Zagar from handmade tiles, glass bottles, bicycle wheels, mirrors and more. After taking it all in, explore South Street's eclectic mix of galleries, cafes and indie shops.
