Winter in Philadelphia

In The City of Brotherly Love, we experience all four seasons in their truest form. Each season brings new traditions, events, and things to look forward to!

Summer is the time for your favorite local "wooder" ice, outdoor concerts, and exploring the 50+ public swimming pools in the city. Springtime we look forward to the Phillies Opening Day and the annual Italian Market Festival. There's also something about fall in Philadelphia*, which means back to school for the colleges and universities across the city, a trip to the Eastern State Penitentiary for the Halloween haunted experiences, and Restaurant Week.

No matter if you're a sports fan, foodie, artist, musician, athlete, or history buff, the city of Philadelphia is an exciting and fun place to be regardless of the season.

There is, however, a special kind of magic in this city in the wintertime. When it's just snowed, the city slows down a little. Once the snow sticks and begins to pile up, a favorite Drexel tradition is to go sledding down the Art Museum steps.

Winter is also a perfect time to visit one of the 99 different museums across the city. From world famous art collections at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to all things anatomical at the Mutter Museum to Drexel's very own Academy of Natural Sciences, there's a little something for everyone. Take advantage of student discounts and enjoy shows or events happening across the city or catch a Flyers or Sixers game at the Wells Fargo Center.

No matter if you're a sports fan, foodie, artist, musician, athlete, or history buff, the city of Philadelphia is an exciting and fun place to be regardless of the season. There is never a shortage of things to do! Start making your Philly winter bucket list now.
