We invite you to explore our events calendar, featuring 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!

At 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., award winning author and illustrator Gene Barretta will engage participants in live sketching projects and a presentation and book signing of his newest book: The Apprenticeship of Andrew Wyeth: Painting a Family Legacy, which will be available for purchase in the Museum Shop.
Join us for a weekend of family fun at the 49th Annual Apple Festival on Saturday & Sunday, November 1 & 2 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Peddler’s Village Apple Festival is one of the most popular annual events in the greater Philadelphia region!
A fanciful blend of horticulture, engineering, and fun, our Garden Railway is turning 25 this year! Each fall, our Horticulture, Facilities, and Guest Services teams join together to achieve the not-so-small feat of creating this multi-level world in miniature, complete with a seasonally changing plant palette. The Garden Railway also features a collection of models that represent and recreate many of Longwood’s most beloved features, in miniature—including a new-this-year Chimes Tower and Waterfall model.
This Halloween display of colorful cartoon characters, scarecrows, a hay hutch, and over ten tons of pumpkins is always a hit! Take a daytime hayride or walk through the maze.
Our fall harvest celebration weekends kick off on September 14, weather permitting.
Activities include Apple and Pumpkin picking, Corn maze, Apple cannons, Face Painting, Axe Throwing, Trackless Train Rides, and Hayrides.
The farm market will be well stocked with mums, pumpkins of all sizes and colors, and oodles of fall and Halloween decorating items.
Join us for the return of Chrysanthemum Festival and experience a living masterpiece of ever-changing wonder. We stretch our limits—and color outside the lines by nurturing and training fall’s favorite flower into 66 specialty forms, from baskets to spirals, columns to clouds, that we can’t wait to share with you.
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.
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.
