. also, street curling sounds like so much fun! has anyone tried it yet? should be a major hit for kids and adults alike 
and i'm already exhausted from last year's events lol! but seriously, franklin square is like the mecca of philly winters - always something to do and see. the street curling? genius 
(who knew curling could be a thing?) and frosty's fireside lodge sounds like the perfect spot to warm up with a drink... or two... or three 
. also, boozy ben's bingo nights on fridays? that sounds like a hoot! but honestly, i'm just here for the twinkling lights 
and comfy mini golf - winter in franklin square is my jam 
. I mean, $12 to $15 for mini golf? That's steep, even if it is decked out for winter. And what's with the "fun twist" on street curling? Is that really going to bring people in? The outdoor fire pits sound cozy, though 
. I do hope they're well-maintained and not just a bunch of sad candles.

It sounds like a total game-changer for Philly's entertainment scene. The addition of street curling and Frosty's Fireside Lodge is genius - I'm definitely checking that out with my squad 
Can't wait to check it out, but also a bit skeptical about some things. Will keep an eye on those and let you know if I find any fishy claims
