My son had a great time playing there. Very colorful. Lots of outdoor activities. The highlight for my son was the giant slide - he had a blast there and refused to leave. The indoor part feels similar to any children's museum. You can easily spent a whole day there with your kids. All these are free. The downside for... More

Its a Philly institution. I took my kids there and now my grandkids. Indoors is restricted to younger children. Outdoors is for all kids. Must try the outdoor slide using a burlap bag. In Fairmount park and somewhat hard to find and the hours are restricted. Call or go online first. Every Philly kid should go there at least once.... More

We are lucky enough to live very close to Smith and try to go a few times each month. We started taking my daughter when she was 14 months and she toddled around in wonderment-now she thinks she owns the place! My neice and nephew don't understand why all Philadelphia playgrounds aren't like Smith(what a great world that would be).... More

The Smith House playground is amazing. It's so clean and so many playground activities for the kids to do. This is my favorite playground. My 4 year old granddaughter LOVE IT!!! More

This is Barney land - for real, this is the best place you'll ever take your kids and it is free. All American home town fun. The nicest people work there also! More

Smith House is specially designed for the under 10 crowd. Right away I hit the big kid playground. Now this has a lot of the same stuff as Franklin Square... More

We trekked 90 minutes to take our 15 month old son to visit Smith Kid’s Play Place and I feel it was totally worth the trip. Though te playground is located near some other popular attractions (Please Touch Museum and the Philadelphia Zoo) it was our primary destination for this trip. I wish I had remembered to bring a blanket... More

Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Philly area! We spent most of our time in the "Tot-Lot" which is geared for kids under 5 years old. The entire ground is rubbery and safe for falls and tumbles with quite a few different little fun things for the kids to explore and play! Fun day! We didn't visit the... More

I remember enjoying Smith Playground as a child. I didn't know the exact location but I knew that it was in Philadelphia. After having a child of my own, I happened upon the playground by mistake. I decided to take my son in and I am so glad I did. It was just as good as I had remembered. Since... More
