"This place has a beautiful garden with flowers and herbs. A nice ice rink is also here. We ice skated here and had a nice stroll on the sidewalks. There is a very nice area to sit and wait for skate."

"Right now at they are in the holiday season, Christmas Vintage is up and thriving. From hot chocolate to mead, ornaments to hand knitted goods. Find your Christmas presents or new art pieces. Plenty of free samples. I recommend heading to the caramel shop located in the love park section closer to the left of the portal. Banana Fosters was divine. Also if you are of age, stop by Kinsey and try a sip. They are a Philadelphia company and their Dark Roast was amazing, strong and full bodies for your Whiskey enthusiast."
