What to do this weekend with your family? There is a wealth of activities available for families and kids. We invite you to explore our events calendar, which features a range of family-friendly activities and events to enjoy throughout the week, including weekends. We continually update our events calendar, so there's always something new and exciting to do!
A local favorite, the Fall Festival features a wide variety of historic skills and trades demonstrations, hayrides, and hands-on activities for kids of all ages! This year, the site’s archaeology festival has been incorporated into the Fall Festival, so the event will also include archaeological excavations and activities, plus displays from local historical organizations. In addition, there will be vendors of handcrafted goods in the Colonial Market, locally-made beer and wine at the Tavern, a Community Corner featuring local businesses and organizations, and food vendors. Admission to the Fall Festival is free. Parking is $5 per car.
Media Borough's neighborhood music festival! Get ready for an afternoon filled with live music and good vibes. You'll enjoy performances from local bands and artists on porches, in yards, and in driveways throughout the Borough.
Linvilla Orchard's famous Hayride to the Witches’ House is a hayride where you can visit the friendly Witches’ House in the woods. The witch tells stories and jokes and gives all of the kids a treat. The hayride ends at a campfire, where you receive a sample of apple cider and marshmallows to roast.
Arasapha Farm is open this year with many new additions and family fun. The corn maze has been planted, and new games make it more fun than ever. Other activities include pumpkin picking. This includes a Hayride to the Corn Maze and back to the courtyard. Our picnic areas, along with other activities, are available for Birthday parties, family reunions, and other gatherings. Parties include a jump on the pillow bounce, a pallet maze, a tractor and truck playground, and corn cannons.
This festival includes a full pirate encampment with period tents, demonstrations, and a showcase of their wares, firearms, cannons, and beer making. In the Park area, we will have games, food, live pirate music, face painting, pony rides, a petting zoo, crafters, a beer garden, and much, much more. All funds raised during this event go towards the ongoing restoration project of the historic Plank House, aka Blackbeard's Mistress's House.
The Marcus Hook Preservation Society is the owner and caretaker of this one-of-a-kind, hand-sawn plank log house. It is our mission and desire to restore this house to museum quality. So join us on the river in Marcus Hook---aarrrrg!
Join us for a fun day of food, local businesses, community organizations, family activities, and neighbors coming together in one of Delaware County’s favorite parks, Rose Tree Park.
The CFHS is excited to announce that we will be hosting a battle reenactment! Join us for a historical journey back to September 11th, 1777, when the British army engaged Washington's troops at Chadd's Ford.
Join Thomas the Tank Engine™, a full-sized operating steam locomotive, as he greets friends of all ages. Thomas and his friends return to the Strasburg Rail Road in 2026!
Thomas the Tank Engine — the famous steam locomotive from the Island of Sodor — will pull your 45-minute excursion ride (4.5 miles east and 4.5 miles returning west on the same track) through the beautiful Lancaster County countryside.
An annual trip to Pumpkinland has been a family tradition for generations of Delaware Valley Residents. During the months of September and October, Pumpkinland takes center stage at Linvilla Orchards. Larger-than-life figures and scarecrows illustrate the legends and lore of the harvest season, local history, and some of the many stories of pumpkins and apples.
Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire at Mount Hope Estate. Guests can experience themed entertainment, food, contests, and activities. Tickets should be purchased online in advance to guarantee admission.
Get ready for a day filled with sunshine, fresh air, and the joy of harvesting your own fruits and vegetables straight from our fields. Pick-Your-Own offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, experience the thrill of picking your own produce, and create lasting memories with family and friends.
Our regularly scheduled weekly train. Enjoy a relaxing 90 minute train ride from West Chester to Glen Mills and return. Pack a lunch to have during our stop at the Glen Mills train station picnic grove, where you can explore our picnic area, our 1880s station building, or the Red Brick Winery.
Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park have adventures behind every corner. They are the ultimate indoor playground for your entire family. Take your kids' birthday party to the next level or spend a day of fun with the family, and you'll see why we're more than just a trampoline park.
