Absolutely created many vibez! It was not much to eat there due to covid But mass were enforced and they were enough people to still have a good time. Definitely recommend the part right next to it

Its closed because of covid19. So its not much to say right now! When it was open, this is a good place to bring your kids.

It was fun and very family friendly. Some of the items are a little over priced but is to be expected. Im definitely talking my kids again. I recommend this place to any one who has extra money to spend and nothing to do on a nice day. Do go dress to impress though cause there is sand a d dirt everywhere.

Atmosphere is amazing and the sitting area is fun, relaxing and very comfy ! Sitting waiting for my family to finish skating I felt like I was at the North Pole in Santa’s house and also in a very cute village I was impressed by the cabanas they had fireplaces in them and pillows and blankets and tons of games for the family to enjoy ! My only negative thing to say is about the ice rink and skates, both need to be a lot more maintained ! The ice has potholes and deep scrapes and the ice skates had torn laces and blades were dull, so if you want to keep this place nice then I suggest that you put more into maintaining the things that are most important to an ice rink but other than that we loved hanging out and feeling relaxed and we got to spend quality family time off the ice in the cabana and the food court area, no one wanted to leave and they normally do when we are at other places !! Thank you for thinking about the families having some where to spend time and feel at home

This is a good placece to bring kids. Not a lot idiots flying around like they play for flyers But seriously its a great place for kids to learn. They have the arm rails kids can hold to learn. My kids had a great time. They have a carnival there too pretty much...

This place was very nice and its a great place for couples and married people to go to..... They have fire pits where you can sit with your girlfriend/wife and have a couple drinks ir eat ....highly recommend this place

Great place to come on Friday night, sit by the fire, have great view of the bridge. Highly recommend. FYI if you have independence blue cross insurance you might be not have to pay for the entrance, just the skates rental.

Good food and fun side activities and always a good time to go when it’s near sunset.

This place is so much fun! The ice was perfect and there were plenty of helpers to assist with pretty much anything you could think of. The arcade is super cute but a bit smaller than I would’ve guessed. The benches and swings around the rink are really a nice touch as well and the fire pit area is perfect to enjoy some hot cocoa while talking with family and friends. We went on a pretty busy day as well (Saturday after Valentine’s Day) and didn’t run into any issues with waiting or anything. Always check Groupon for great deals too! Can’t wait to go back.

Nice place to take the kids to have some fun. The rides are a reasonable price and the staff are great!

A small amusement park along the Penns landing is the most underrated places in Philly. Play your favorite games or just take a walk along the walkway of Delaware river. The park hosts ice-skating in winter and roller skating in summers. Children would like here. Dedicated paid parking is available but would recommend to use street parking as it is cheaper and walk for 5 min.

Love it every time I come down by myself or the family. Extremely saddened theres no skating going on at the moment. Need. My. Skate Jamzzz

Enjoyed the summer carnival. Fun snacks at a good price. The ferris wheel is terrific.

Perfect for a summer nite out without having to go to far. Food is OK and very affordable Axe throwing was fun.

The seriously need more security, better lighting around the perimeters. The drastic change in safety over the past few years needs to be addressed in order for this to earn more than 2stars. The lodge/food area is nice, comfortable. The rink is a fun attraction.

Nice place to sit and watch the river. A must see when visiting Philly.

Such a cute and fun place!!They have roller skating, games, and funnel cake and other foods and drinks there! I would recommend for cute dates and for childrenThey also have big connect 4s, corn hole, and cute places for you to take picturesIt’s like a mini cute fun town

Had an awesome time at the riverrink and winter festivities! Would highly recommend it for anyone who loves to skate or has kids who need to get out of the house

Fun place to enjoy some time out

This was a wonderful experience for my daughters and their friends. A great place for adults as well. Parking is a little expensive, $25. The skating and food options were great.

Very cool place and I got to relive my old glory days.. this is the 1st city of my military career back in 1994. A lot has changed since then but I was glad to spend it with family this Time around.

Service was good. I ordered buffalo wings and crab fries which were pretty good. I also had got apple cider with Jim bean apple as my drink. The weather was nice that day and it was not too cold outside. I really enjoyed myself as I skated across the rink.

This place is the cutest to go and hang out with some friends!! They have ice skating, apple cider, games, fire place, an outside fire pit with chairs and marshmallows to just keep you warm, and so many lights!! I have been here 3 times and its always a good time

I came here to roller skate when I was visiting Philly over the spring. I’d never been to an outdoor skating rink before! It was so lovely, skating around while looking out at the water and feeling the wind on my face. I wish I had had my personal skates on me because the fee would have been significantly less, but still $14 is not bad at all for skates and access to the rink.

Had the best time!! Even if you do not skate...you can eat,drink, sit by fire pits, watch sports and movies!! Such a fun atmosphere

Fairly priced and fun activities on Penns Landing

When ever I go to Philly I would check this place. Amazing view, nice and clean. I dont know why but I feel refreshed. Best time to check there is around evening, nice place for hangout going alone or .... .

Very nice place to be

Best place to be for New year eve. Very cozy, not very expensive, just need to be on time for parking.

Peaceful place to relax and unwind after a long day

Came here for a first date. It was amazing.

Beautiful as always. Very packed during the weekends

The family enjoys going but its cold as... You know what... The game arcade harks back to the 80s and the kids really liked the old school oversized Space Invaders game and air hockey.

Took my kids we had fun i think i had more fun then the kids lol

I love to end the night here. There is fire pits with chairs around them. The people are really nice. The skating is $10. To rent skates its $4. They have a place to eat. There is also an arcade.

Due to the covid 19 some of the park areas was open but the views was super nice

Such a cool little Oasis located along the river inside Philadelphia. A great place to make you forget that you are inside one of the largest cities in America. plenty of cool stuff to do alongside the river there. let them know you were a Blue Cross Blue shield member and they offer a discount for you and your friends.

Very cool spot. My fiance and I have been here every year since they started and we will continue to come back in years to come. This year they are lacking a bit. Seems like a lot of the details have slipped through the cracks. Still super cool and it probably only earned 3.4 stars but I rounded up because there are a lot of redeeming qualities.

A nice atmosphere and a great place to visit .

Great food trunk and icecream.Many seats, good for chatting with friends

Kids will have fun very kid friendly..

Romantic during christmas season. Had marshmallows on fire(loved smore!) and hot chocolate. It was lovely to stay for a bit.

Fun place right on the riverfront. Fun for kids.

Magical place for families, couples or just individual. Great food truck options, fun outdoor setting with firepits. Definitely worth checking out. Only con is parking is tough or you can use an expensive lot. Believe $20.

Really nice place. Feels like winter village. Best place to ice skate in Philly. By the river, it’s beautiful. They had fried Oreos, which is a must try. Skate rental is reasonable - not too expensive. If you have blue cross insurance, entry and rental is free!

Couldnt smoke even though its outside?? The ice rink was extremely bumpy and slushy. And there were kids with the little walkers going all over the ice not looking for people at all. Food was delicious though and there were cool little places and stuff to eat. Good place to go on a date

Used to live in Cherry Hill and go ice skating here in the winter, and love that they have roller skating in the Summer now. Lots to do down here at Penns Landing besides just the skating too; a ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, and some fair type games to waste some money on for a very brief moment of fun. Theres also some very good beer right there!Had kind of a rough time with the skates themselves. A small frustration, but had to go back a couple tonnes because the skateslaces are all messed up. There were knots in them that prevented me from lacing up all the way, then the ends were frayed, making it almost impossible to get the lace through the eyelet...a minor inconvenience...overall a great time!

We took a weekend trip to Philadelphia from NYC during the holidays. We at the HIlton PEnns LAnding Hotel which is a 5 minute walk to the RiverRink. We decided to take a walk one evening. The Scenery is amazing with the ice rink, tree and shops set to the backdrop of the river and bridge. If you got on top you can get some great photos of everything. On a Sunday night, there were a lot of people there but I wouldnt say it was overcrowded. There is of course ice skating which is $4 for ice skating with a $10 for skate rental. There were helpers/assistants on the rink as well to regulate traffic and help out. There are a few discounts including college students ad group rates, so ask before paying. There is a small arcade there too...skeeball etc. There are a bunch of food options there including A dessert place, a pizza place, a burger place and also a Chickie and Petes. Expect to pay about $10-12 for a sandwich and $3-4 for basic beverages. The price mark-up was not as much as I expected, so kudos to them or that. There is parking lot there but I am not sure how much it is. (About $20 ish I would guess) There is also adequate staff there, so I never felt unsafe at any time.

Nice place, very enjoyable for family, kids have lots of fun, and there if food, and more games to play. Parking area is big, I didnt get there because it was my first time, and I dont tknow how much they charge you. I have to find a parking area and pay outside $25 parking . In my experience I recomend it, is more safe and you dont have to worry for PARKING TIKECTS

Great attraction! If youre here in the winter, this is a great spot for families, or couples to come to, and just hang out, and enjoy winter in philly.

Fun times! Plenty to do during fall/winter season with ice skating, playing games, riding the ferris wheel or just sitting on the ample lawn chairs sipping hot cocoa by the firepits with the fam!Also your right on the riverfront with great views of the Ben Franklin Bridge.During the the spring/summer season, the rink is converted for rollerskating. All other amenities from winter (food, games, etc.) are still available.***Update: Still open in 2020. Check ahead to see what activities are still open and available.

Great experience greater company

Get the liquid chocolate from the fountain! Love the fire pits. Beautiful views of the river. The ice skating rink looked fun. Lots of good snack food options. Arcade is a nice touch. Great place to hangout in the winter with beautiful lights and a decorated xmas tree.

The Park is a fun place to take the kids inside and out. Their are games, ice rink, Ferris wheel, and mini golf.

A great place for date night, a stroll with friends or a great family outing.

Had fun out there. Will have to go earlier in the season and hit the cabins next year

Omg I have been there since my 20s...this place is like a mini carnival. It was Awesome and our kids had a great time. Def a,hot spot for tourists. A lot to do and see foos,trucks live music etc its a,must see. Roller skating rides mini golf etc

Very nice place... But there should be an optional parking price for the people that dont actually want to ice-skate. $20 seemed a little bit extreme for just going in, walking around, seating and eating something quick then leaving. Not even 1 hour. Smh...Update: so the owner suggested that I should use public transportation FROM NEW JERSEY so I didnt have to pay $20 for his parking... Really??? Thats your solution. Thank God Im never coming back to this place...

Came here on a weekday visiting from NJ. Very cool and free skating if Blue Cross is your health insurance! Plenty of space to chill and food and beverages too. Great place!

1st ice skating and last time! My kids had a great time thou and the overall atmosphere and experience was nice!

I love this place I love take my son here

IT was okay, a little bit expensive but my kids had fun there

The ice is unlike any ice Ive ever skated on before; it was incredibly slippery so my skates would slide out sideways sometimes (perpendicular to the blade), as opposed to thick packed ice like at a Skate Zone. The tent next to the rink is beautiful and warm, and the food is really good. The atmosphere is super cozy and is a great place to relax with some friends, especially on the comfy couches in there!

Its super fun. Although the skating rental line was ridiculously long the employees were super fast and the line went quickly. I would not suggest the last time slot, they ran the machine halfway through the previous time slot and it was already snowy when the last began and halfway through there were snow piles all over the place. Theres so much to do, even if you dont want to skate, including many warm spots.

Fun place to visit during the winter. Ice skating rink is great (BYO skates and only pay admission fees). Only downside is limited food vendors available on site. Highly recommend visiting when in Philadelphia!

Beautiful views, fun and upbeat place to be. Great place to go with or without your children. If you have Independence Blue Cross insurance there is perks here so make sure to bring your ID and Card as proof because you can get discounts and even skate for free but you will need to pay for skate rentals. It can be very busy with alot of people depending on the day and time that you choose to go so make sure to bring your patience Overall it is a great, fun affordable place to go.

I tried the deep fried Oreos and the nachos. Also the hot chocolate was good. Would recommend.

While the view is wonderful and the overall ambience is pleasing, I give 3 stars because the system of skate rental and time slots is poor. They keep people to time slots but no one checks tickets, and the skate rental staff are helpless when an issue arises of someone getting skates for the wrong session(not to mention the egregious line to rent skates). I do hope they can resolve some of these issues.

Nice place on riverside, nice sized ice skating rink, you can grab food from nearby stalls. When bored just keep waking on the riverside and you can visit Navy ship & submarine turned into museum. Sit on riverside and enjoy cool breeze.

Lovely vibe great fun close to great restaurants

Fireworks are fantastic for every long weekend. I was there for New Year’s Eve and fireworks are available for both 6 and 12 pm.

Great daddy daughter night out...

Came here memorial day, with my daughter and grand daughter and my mother . great little outing. Just enough things to do to keep little ones happy. Prices for the rides reasonable, the rest room was clean it was like a big potty with multiple bathrooms and it was clean.

Went on Monday, very nice! No crowds, nice atmosphere. Kids had a great time skating.

Its a great outing for family.

Kids had a great time will definitely be going back even made a few friends while they were there at the picnic table set around the ring for The Observers there are some of those heating lamp post that was awesome we also butt funnel cake and hot chocolate which was delicious

Had a great time, but it was crowded. The skate rentals were good, but seemed a bit worn. Best feature: Independence Blue Cross members get free admission!

Enjoyed my first time skating. I was scared though. The rink is fun!!! There are other games you can play when you arent skating.

Very nice for date night. Admission is free with your blue cross insurance card . Yet u have to pay 20$ for skate rental. Definitely should be more specific about that on the website.

Great spot to hang out with the family & friends. Can go ice skating, have a beer, hot coco or some yummy treats. Also you can play at the arcade.

Family friendly place. Free to enter. Parking nearby. Lots of games for the kids and places to eat for the family. Ice skating rink is smooth for the first 25 minutes. All the indoor places are heated to escape the cold of winter.

It was so fun ice skating here! I tried it out with some friends for the first time and in no time, I had learned how to ice skate. Its great for small groups, couples, and more! It isnt free though, so if you plan on going youll have to pay at most $14. There is a discount you can get though, I just am unaware of how.

Love going there f or favorite ice cream.

The area is very seasonal and its best to visit Memorial Day through Christmas.During summer they have roller blading, a ferris wheel and some carnival type stuff .In the winter they have ice skating .Prices are also pretty good .

The best outdoor ice rink in Philadelphia. Features a food court, arcade and a beer garden. They also do a great job of decorating the space. Very family friendly.

Pretty cool just to see the old ships and submarine up close.

Had a really nice time with the kids. There was plenty of things for them to do and it was just a nice way to end our summer vacation!

Great staff, so much fun, was a great thing to do on labor day.

Went one night after it rained all day. Kinda figured we wouldn’t be able to skate. Got there and at least 2 inches of water on ice. They said they were open and we could skate but we didn’t want to because of the water. We staying at the hotel next to it so we we try again in the morning. That night we just got a couple of drinks and food sat by the fires the have and enjoyed the night. Next morning we were able to skate. Ice was ehh (I mean it is an outdoor rink in a city that is barely freezing) definitely will come back if I’m in the area.

Had a fabulous time. Cabins were cozy, ice rink was great. Needs a few more choices for food. Overall, great place

Great place to enjoy a view or have fun with the family

A Christmas favorite in Philly. Lots of fire pits made available, and the inside lodge was lovely. A great variety of hot festive drinks made available. And it was open until 1am!! I would highly recommend this for a date night

Fun activity for family and friends in both the summer and the winter time, and the ferris wheel and standard Carnival Fair surrounding it adds to the joy of the experience

Great location with fantastic views. The rink is beautifully decorated and very well maintained. Friendly, helpful staff, always a nice crowd without being crowded, they offer rental skates, skating aides for beginners, and they even offer tune-ups for personal skates. If skating isnt for you or you need a break there are food vendors as well as a beer garden with a great variety of domestic, imported and craft brews, along with firepits, Adirondack chairs, swings and benches for relaxing, or you can take a stroll along the waterfront. Parking is on site and easy to access although there is a fee to park. We enjoy the rink quite often and we are already looking forward to coming back.

Great atmosphere. This place can be used as a family outing, date night, just some relaxation by the water front. Priceless

The Winterfest at Blue Cross RiverRink is more than just ice skating. The atmosphere was wonderful, and they have enough activities to keep you there for a while. It is a great spot for hanging out with friends and family. I went as part of a field trip, and this was a great time for the students. I probably saw the most adorable thing ever there: a couple was taking their engagement pictures. And I have to say, this place offers the perfect spot for all types of pictures! I highly recommend visiting it for their Winterfest!

They actually have staff that will skate around with the children. That came in handy because I cant skate if my life depended on it. My daughter has a great time.

Lovely place to hang out on different seasons!

A good hangout place for winter activities. It has few arcade games, few good food and drink spots, and most importantly a nice skating ring!!! A must to visit in winter in Philly!!

Fun place for family. Arcade, hacky sac, etc. You get 4$ discount if you are blue cross members.
