About

Smith’s charming historic mansion transforms beautifully from space for kids to a unique setting for adult celebrations. Located minutes from Center City Philadelphia, just off Kelly Drive, Smith is nestled among the beautiful trees and expansive lawns of Fairmount Park.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 16,000 square foot Playhouse includes terraces and porches with impressive views. Inside, a graceful staircase, large windows, and warm woodwork create the perfect setting for a corporate event, cocktail party, reception, dinner, wedding, baby shower, or anniversary party. Outside, Smith’s six-acre Playground with its award-winning Ann Newman Giant Wooden Slide invites fun, festivity, and celebration.

Rates begin at $750 and vary depending on hours, season, and spaces used. Discounts are offered to non-profit organizations. More information about hosting a child’s birthday party at Smith on weekends can be found on Smith’s Birthday Party Rental page.

Reviews of Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse

Smith Playground was everything we were looking for in a wedding venue! We wanted something in the city with character, but without all the limitations of working with a certain group of caterers, etc. Plus, the playground itself is such a fun element to include in your wedding- we had our cocktail hour on the playground and our guests loved the wooden slide! Shadirah and the whole staff were so friendly and accomodating and were a huge help in making sure the event was a success. We highly recommend having your wedding there and working with them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
