A list of the best things to do in Chester County 

   this  weekend

March 14th, 15th & 16th





What to do this weekend with your family? There is so much to do for families and kids. We invite you to check out our events calendar, with many family-friendly events and things to do on the weekends and every day of the week. We constantly update our events calendar, so there is always something new and exciting to do! 



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.  



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.



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 thousands of 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 21 - March 16, Friday through Sunday only, and check the daily schedule to ensure you don't miss a magical moment!

This winter, there’s no better place to warm up—and chill out—than Longwood. Escape the chill and bask in the warmth of our beautiful new West Conservatory as it begins its peak flowering season. Relax amid lush tropical gardens. Unwind as the soothing sounds of water transport you to another world. Soak up the sun and leave your winter worries at the door.




Explore paleontology’s final frontier in Ice Dinosaurs, the Academy’s exciting new special exhibit. Transport yourself to the Late Cretaceous period in the Arctic Circle, where dinosaurs actually lived year-round in extreme polar environments. This brand-new, immersive, and educational experience brings this era to life with animatronic dinosaurs, engaging stories, and real fossils, skeletons, and museum casts.



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.

 

Open Play at Urban Air Downingtown

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.

Selecting the Right Preschool for Your Child

Selecting the Right Preschool for Your Child


Many parents want to know why preschool is essential for their children. If you are new to the area or a first-time parent, you may need to realize that preschools start registration and tours/open houses during winter. Many preschools in the area fill up quickly, so you need to act fast to secure the perfect spot for your child. We are here to guide you through the many choices to find a preschool that fits your family.

The significance of enrolling your little one in preschool cannot be understated. Most preschools accept children aged 2 ½ - 3 years old, and it's an excellent way for them to prepare for the educational challenges of kindergarten. Preschool allows kids to hone their social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, and collaborating with other children. During their preschool experience, they can explore their interests and build self-assurance. It also enables them to develop their language skills, like expressing themselves and paying attention to others. Preschool further permits children to enhance their physical abilities and coordination through creative play and physical activities.

What to look for when selecting a preschool

When deciding on a preschool for your child, there are a few things to consider. The safety of the premises should be a top priority, so make sure the doors are secure, and all staff have the necessary background checks. Do some research into the curriculum offered and make sure it aligns with your child's educational goals. You should also speak with teachers and staff to understand the school's atmosphere. Other things to look into are the school's location, cost, and any extracurricular activities available. Ultimately, pick the school that best meets your needs and provides the best environment for your child to learn, develop, and flourish.


Questions to ask when you visit a preschool


What can you tell me about student/teacher ratios?


How do you handle discipline?


Do we need to make sure that my child is potty-trained before enrolling?


How many teachers are trained in CPR/First Aid?


Do you spend time outdoors? How often?


What is the tenure of your teachers?
