More information on Penns Landing Festival Pier

Penn's Landing is a great destination for activities and entertainment in Philadelphia. Formed in 1979, the idea of Penn's Landing was to give the city a place to experience festivals, events and recreation. It is a veritable wonderland with an ice rink, bustling waterfront, a nightclub, a museum and much more. If you're with kids, this is the ideal place to hang out. Check out the Duck ride, a one of a kind land and water ride. Or if you're just looking to have a good time, make your way down to Cavanaugh's River Deck. It offers a delicious Irish grill as well as live music and dancing. Otherwise, pop into Egypt, the landing's very own disco, which has three dance floors. There is very little you can't do at Penn's landing. Also, when you're there, remember to visit Christopher Columbus—all 106 feet of him. Over 1.5 million people visit Penn's landing, so go ahead and join the bandwagon!
