Maybe it's the thousands of twinkling lights or maybe it's the excitement in the eyes of the children running around the square, but whatever it is, Franklin Square will put a smile on the face of even the biggest scrooge at Christmas time.
Take a ride on the Lighting Bolt Express (tickets are required) on December 20 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The holiday season comes alive with the sounds of Christmas. Listen as Courtney's Carolers belt out your holiday favs from noon until 2 p.m.
Santa and Elfreth put some ho ho ho in your holidays every Saturday and Sunday through Christmas Eve. Get pictures with the big guy from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. or settle in with some hot cocoa to hear the tales of Christmas from the mouth of Mrs. Claus.
