This is the only licensed casino in Bensalem. It is a very large facility jam-packed with various entertainments such as horse racing, poker, slots, table games, and sports betting. There are numerous bars that serve up everything from fancy cocktails to the casual beer; and if it's a real meal you want, choose from Cafe Parx, Parx Grill, and everyone's favorite, Chickie's & Pete's. The Xcite Center hosts concerts, entertainment performances, comedy acts, and boxing and MMA matches. Directions are easy to find on the Parx Casino website, but it's very hard to miss if you're driving along Street Road, parxcasino.com/#/directions/Directions. Valet parking recommended. The parking lot is rather confusing.
Located in the township's Central Park, this outdoor amphitheater can accommodate 3,000 people and offers a summer concert series from June to August. The amphitheater is also home to the annual Fall Festival every October.
