Inside the mansion-like Playhouse children five and under can experience everything from driving a train and cooking in the kitchen to riding a tricycle. Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse has been a treasured destination in the city of Philadelphia for over 100 years and continues to be a source of good, clean fun for kids of all sizes and shapes.
