Fun Things To Do In Chester County This Weekend For Families And Kids February 6th, 7th, and 8th
A list of the best things to do in Chester County 

   this  weekend

 February 6th, 7th, and 8th





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 at SALT

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.


Big Game Sunday Parent Day Out

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.

Astronomy Show at WCU Mather Planetarium

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.


Kaleidoscope Cove at Adventure Aquarium

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.

Based on the popular book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, this is the tale of Pinkalicious, who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctor’s office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe–a dream come true for this pink-loving enthusiast. Alas, Pinkalicious needs a way out of her pink predicament, and joined by her family, they find unity and appreciation in the quirks that define us all.



Greenberg's Train & Toy Show is designed for the general public, modelers, hobbyists, families, and the just plain curious. Each show features hundreds of tables of trains and accessories for sale, huge operating exhibits, activities for kids, and more. All scales are welcome as are books, videos, and railroad Iana.

Brand new spaces—from our sprawling new West Conservatory to imaginative new outdoor landscapes—decked out for the holidays give way to wondrous new ways to experience the season … and incredible new memories to make. Revel in hundreds of thousands of lights … marvel at astonishing feats of horticulture, ingenuity, and creativity … and delight in beauty at every turn, all as we welcome you to our biggest—and most magical—A Longwood Christmas yet.



The Gingerbread Competition & Display at Peddler’s Village is a feast for the eyes with more than 100 creative and whimsical entries crafted by the public in different categories.

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.

It’s Junie B.’s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie’s friend, Lucille, doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
