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, 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!
Once Upon a Mattress is a hilarious and heartwarming twist on The Princess and the Pea. Packed with clever comedy, catchy songs, and lovable characters, this classic musical follows the bold and unconventional Princess Winnifred as she turns a proper kingdom upside down and helps a shy prince discover true love.
This fun alternative to babysitting makes it easy for you to have the enjoyable afternoon or evening you deserve while knowing your child is safe, supervised and having a blast! During Parents Days and Nights Out, they’ll be busy playing games, rock climbing, and participating in a variety of activities throughout the evening while you spend a night on the town or simply relax at home! We wind down the evening with a little movie time for those who tire out, or open play time for those who still have more energy to burn off. Dinner of pizza and a drink is included.
The Sandra F. Pritchard Mather Planetarium at West Chester University holds evening shows for the general public. The live monthly presentations, hosted by a PhD astronomer, provide an overview of what is visible in the current night sky. In addition, each show focuses on a particular aspect of astronomy. Pre-recorded movie shows are also available. The movie, presented by WCU students, offers a shorter tour of the night sky followed by a full-dome movie.
All shows start promptly at 7 p.m. and run approximately one hour.
A tidal wave of color is now washing over Adventure Aquarium! This completely new exhibit offers an immersive, colorful experience designed to engage and inspire, inviting guests to dive deeper into the colors and wonders of ocean life.
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.
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.
