Historic Philadelphia, Inc. News & Events!
FALL FUN IN HISTORIC PHILADELPHIA!
Spooky Mini Golf is back at Franklin Square in October, seven days a week this year! Putt through 18 holes of Philly landmarks during the day, and then watch the golf course transform into frightening fun for all ages from 6-9 p.m. every night!
Visit the Betsy Ross House Friday evenings in October for Spooky Twilight Tours to hear true, macabre tales about bloodletting, small pox, yellow fever, and more.
Make it a night with the "Spooky Twosome" package, including admission to the Spooky Twilight Tour at the Betsy Ross House and a round of Spooky Mini Golf at Franklin Square!
