VisitPhilly has an incredible lineup of events being hosted by various organizations throughout the city! Whether you stay in Philadelphia over break or head home for the holidays, these destinations are worth however long it may take you to get here.

Take Advantage of Empty Gyms

Joseph V. Labolito

Temple Campus Rec facilities close on December 23rd, but when they open back up on January 3rd, they're pretty much a ghost town - take advantage of open treadmills and free weights! Who knows, maybe you'll work out hard enough so you won't feel bad about only going once a month during the semester.

Ice Skating at Dilworth Park

Rothman Orthopaedics Ice Rink, Cabin, and Wintergarden are back this year and better than ever! Stop by Dilworth Park at City Hall from now until February 24th, enjoy ice skating, refreshments, and seasonal bites, just a few stops away on the Broad Street Line!

Catch up on Sleep

Students are no stranger to slight sleep deprivation. Take advantage of your time off, catch some ZZZs, and come back refreshed and ready to take on the next semester.

Miracle on South 13th

The charm of the holidays is alive and well on the 1600 block of South 13th street. Grab some friends and head down to experience a display unlike any other in Philadelphia, crafted entirely by the street's residents. Displays begin on Thanksgiving and end on New Years.
