The Archaeology Program seeks to evaluate archaeological resources and explore research questions concerning the development of the Newlin Grist Mill historic site while enhancing public knowledge and providing opportunities for the public to participate in the archaeological process.
Excavations are conducted under the leadership of resident archaeologist Keith Doms with assistance from members of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology and volunteers from the community. Individuals and groups throughout the region volunteer one Saturday per month to assist with excavations and artifact cleaning. The project is bringing to light new evidence that reshapes earlier perceptions.




Since 2008, the Narberth Business Association has been hosting this popular scavenger hunt. Children get their own day to celebrate and "wear the green" on the Saturday before St Patrick's Day.  





A world of underwater enchantment awaits when mermaids return to Adventure Aquarium - but they are only swimming by for a limited time! Make today a magical adventure as you discover shimmering mermaids diving beneath the waves, swimming among 15,000 amazing animals including the largest collection of sharks in the Northeast! Capture magical memories as these enchanting divers glide beneath the waves, splash with stingrays above the surf, and even greet you on land. Experience the enchantment before it disappears. Visit February 29 - March 17, Thursday through Sunday only, and check the daily schedule to make sure you don't miss a single magical moment!





Let the good times roll at Sesame Place’s family-friendly Mardi Gras Celebration! Join in the festivities and celebrate by dancing along with special strolling entertainment, participating in the Mardi Gras Mask Scavenger Hunt, and much more! Enjoy Sesame Street-themed rides and attractions for guests of all ages.




Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS: Save the Humans, with Imagine Exhibitions, is opening at Philadelphia Zoo in February 2024! These six enormous Trolls are on a mission to inspire humans to take better care of Nature. Each has a unique story and is created using repurposed wood by the world's leading recycling artist. The Trolls believe rethinking how we live our daily lives will help save the planet for all animals, including humans, and they want to share their ideas with you.



Starting the year off is our captivating Winter Wonder, bursting with warmth, wonder, and wow moments at every turn. Ever-changing and always stunning, our Gardens from January through March are all about bold blooms, textural touches, and grand displays under glass. Plus, enjoy free programs like our Science Series and special Floral Features.




Imagination Street a new play space that kids and parents can enjoy together. For kids (ages 0–9), it is a meaningful, hands-on play experience in nine, interactive, themed playhouses that form a “city” to explore. For parents, there’s a cafe-style lounge to gather, drink coffee, or get some work done. Because the space is an open concept, parents are in close proximity of their children the entire time. They offer open play sessions, private parties, events, and more.




Burn off some energy while having some fun while skating with the family.

Guests to the Philadelphia Museum of Art can pay what they wish for admission every Friday evening and the first Sunday of the month. Reservations are required.




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.
