Join Miss Libby for a literacy and movement experience at the Middletown Free Library on Friday, Jan. 28th from 11:00-11:30AM!

Ballet costume/attire is not required but is definitely welcome.
Celebrate the Year of The Tiger at our Lunar New Year Family Arts Festival. This free family arts festival will feature performances by The Philadelphia Sons Lion Dance Troop, Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers, Wolf Performing Arts Center, hands-on artmaking for all ages, festive traditions, games, food trucks and more!
Storytime outdoors! For those who would still rather not come in for storytime, Mr. Scott will continue to offer one storytime a week outside in the amphitheater. Bring your blankets!
Linvilla Orchard’s Fore! The Planet is a highly interactive and playful museum exhibit created by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia! This exhibition pairs important environmental issues with the fun of miniature golf.
18 unique educational holes explore butterfly metamorphosis, a tropical rain forest, evolution, dinosaur extinction, food chains, and more. Perfect for kids of all ages, your entire family will enjoy playing miniature golf while learning about our environment – every step of the way!
This winter, experience a warm, colorful oasis in our grand Conservatory. Vibrant Streptocarpus ‘Concord Blue’ baskets float above, pink and purple Saintpaulia (African-violets) delight, and tall Clerodendrum schmidtii (chains-of-glory) stun. From beds of coral Cymbidium to a dedicated area showcasing highlights from our vast collection, find hundreds of orchids in spectacular bloom. What’s more, with the January return of performances to our Conservatory, experience an extraordinary lineup of artists from audience favorites to new talent, all bringing a world of music to the ever-changing beauty of our Conservatory.
Outside, stroll 400 acres of winter’s beauty. Although subdued colors reign, the occasional burst of bright yellow and orange of blooming witch-hazel dots the landscape, while winter grasses add a textural element.
Chilly Philly Mini Golf transforms Center City’s only miniature golf course for socially-distanced winter fun. The perfect outdoor outing for families, date night, and holiday fun. The course is filled with lights, holiday music, and larger-than-life wintertime friends. The 18-hole game features reproductions of Philadelphia icons and landmarks, including The Liberty Bell, The Rocky Steps, and the Ben Franklin Bridge.
