  • Spaces for 400 Guests

  Sister Cities Park sits at the midpoint of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, between City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, on a site that traces back to William Penn's 1682 plan for the city's public squares. Originally dedicated in 1976 to honor Philadelphia's Sister Cities program, the roughly 1.3-acre park was transformed in a 2012 renovation led by Center City District, turning a barren plaza into one of the nation's leading multigenerational parks. The park's centerpiece is a bluestone fountain shaped as an abstracted globe with Philadelphia at its center, its eleven geyser-like water spouts positioned to reflect the actual geographic distance to each of the city's Sister Cities. Alongside it, the Children's Discovery Garden offers a nature-inspired play space with winding pathways, a climbing net, push-button water jets, and a stream dam, while a shallow wading pond operates from late April through October and converts to the Imagination Playground in the cooler months. A 6,000-square-foot pollinator garden with more than 4,000 native plants borders the space, and Robert Indiana's AMOR sculpture, installed in 2016, anchors the park's public art. Sister Cities Café, built with structural glass walls and a green roof, offers indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the garden and parkway. The park lends itself to everything from children's birthday parties to wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and corporate gatherings, with Center City District's events team coordinating brand activations, corporate functions, and private celebrations on-site.

Situated on 23rd Street between Market and Chestnut, within walking distance of 30th Street Station, the armory pairs its working military history with event space for weddings, corporate gatherings, markets, trade shows, and galas. The Ring is the armory's signature space: a versatile, clear-span floor of more than 13,000 square feet that once housed the Troop's mounted horses before the building was mechanized during World War II. It transforms readily from an elegant reception with video walls and butlered hors d'oeuvres to a more relaxed gathering with lounge furniture and food trucks, and includes the adjoining Officers Quarters, a formal entrance and library often used as a green room or check-in area. Upstairs, the recently renovated Dining Room and Museum offers a more intimate setting of about 3,500 square feet, with wainscoting, gilded antique paintings, crystal chandeliers, and the First City Troop's own historical collection one floor below.
