"Beautiful! After a morning at the Natural History Museum we walked over here. It was a cloudy rainy day so we didn’t stay for too long. The benches around the fountain are great to take a break from all the walking or to sit & read a book and enjoy the view."
"I used to go to this fountain and splash around in the water as a kid, but it's lovely to sit on one of the benches on a sunny day and enjoy the nice weather! Walking distance from so many things, it's the perfect place to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery in between places!"
"This is another city landmark and is a very nice fountain. I like the gravel walkway around it. However the park view some maintenance and upkeep. The benches are rusty and the paint is filling. The area is also littered with cigarette butts and used balloons. The fountain is very nice and I love the sound of the water. And there is a homeless issue has all of the city has. It is very beautiful here but watching a homeless dude take a bath in the fountain is a turn off. Not to mention the banana hammock he is wearing."
"An iconic Philly destination year-round, but especially nice in spring, when the tulips and Tribute trees start blooming. The fountain features one of the 3-generations of Calder sculptures that grace the Ben Franklin Parkway. You can track from Calder senior's Billy Penn atop City Hall to Alexander Calder's Ghost mobile at the Art Museum. Logan Square is a go-to spot to view Philly fireworks, parades and concerts. It is also a popular gathering place for major protests."
"Such a beautiful fountains in the center of the city. It sits halfway between City Hall and the Art Museum. It's a great place to sit and relax, but getting in and enjoying the fountain is highly encouraged. In the summer, you'll see plenty of children and dogs having an absolute blast. Fun fact time! The fountain was designed by Alexander Stirling Calder. His father Alexander Milne Calder designed the statue of William Penn that sits atop City Hall. His son and famed sculptor Alexander Calder has a mobile in the Art Museum titled "Ghosts". The three landmarks are colloquially known as "The father, the son and the holy ghost""
