About this adventure
Sprawling across South Philadelphia's historic FDR Park, Tinseltown Holiday Spectacular is an immersive illuminated walk-through winter wonderland with over 2.5 million glowing lights and monumental custom light sculptures. Features include a 60-foot walk-through Christmas light tree, glowing Philadelphia sports mascots (including a giant illuminated Gritty), and oversized glittering holiday archways. Family attractions include an authentic 160-foot ice skating trail winding through glowing trees, a 4-lane snow tubing slide hill for kids and adults, photos with Santa in his cozy lodge, and the Mistletoe Market featuring local craft artisans. Wide, level pathways accommodate strollers and wagons throughout the park grounds.
