Philly Mini Golf is one of the big highlights of Franklin Square. Children and adults can enjoy this uniquely-designed 18-hole Philadelphia-themed course where you putt through favorite local icons including Elfreth's Alley, Benjamin Franklin Bridge, Philadelphia Museum of Art with the Rocky Steps, The Sound of Philadelphia music, LOVE statue, Chinatown Friendship Gate, and on the 18th hole, putt through the crack in the Liberty Bell and land in front of Independence Hall.

The Sound of Philadelphia will be featured at the second hole in Philly Mini Golf. Players will have to putt through the hole in old-fashioned oversized vinyl-style records representing four of Philadelphia's top recording artists and their number one singles: Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now by McFadden & Whitehead, Love Train by The O'Jays, Love is a Message by MFSB, and Me & Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul. Once mini-golfers get their ball in the hole, they can celebrate their victory along with the sounds of Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now as it plays around them.

Philly Mini Golf Fees:

  • $8 for adults, $6 for children (3-12), and free for children under 2
