Fun Things To Do In Delaware County This Weekend For Families And Kids July 31st, August 1st, & 2nd

A list of the best things to do in Delaware County 

this weekend

July 31st, August 1st, & 2nd




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, which features 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! 


Media Recreation Board invites you to join us for Media Family Movie Night. Yes, that is right, a movie under the stars on a 2-story inflatable movie screen. This is the return of the drive-in movie, minus the cars. Get the family together, pack some snacks, and join in on the fun.



Join us the first Saturday of each month between 9 am – 12 pm for free in-person Kids Workshops. While supplies last.



In addition to free admission, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., join in creative art activities* that explore the incredible artwork in Treasures from the Family: The Gift of Betsy James Wyeth. 
*Pre-registration is requested for art activities. Register here. Pre-register and arrive anytime between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to participate in the art activities. No registration is required for admission to Museum galleries.  



It’s the first Sunday of the month, which means free admission at the Barnes. Enjoy fun art activities, and performances. Join us for a celebration of music, featuring Steve Weiss Mallet Festival, and art for the whole family.



Kick off the harvest season with Lammas Day! Rooted in centuries-old traditions, Lammas (or “Loaf Mass”) marked the gathering of the grain and the baking of the first bread from the new crop. Join us for a day of hands-on farming activities to thresh, winnow, and grind the site’s heritage grains and explore the vital role of grain in 18th-century Pennsylvania through bread baking in the farmhouse kitchen. 




Get ready for a day filled with sunshine, fresh air, and the joy of harvesting your own fruits and vegetables straight from our fields. Pick-Your-Own offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, experience the thrill of picking your own produce, and create lasting memories with family and friends.




Free concerts in Rose Tree Park's scenic outdoor amphitheater have been a popular Delco tradition for more than four decades! Take in top-notch entertainment of all kinds, from Classical to Cajun, Motown to Broadway, Doo Wop to Rock & Pop, tribute shows, and everything in between.
Showtime is 7:30 PM on Wednesday through Sunday evenings unless otherwise noted.



Our regularly scheduled weekly train. Enjoy a relaxing 90 minute train ride from West Chester to Glen Mills and return. Pack a lunch to have during our stop at the Glen Mills train station picnic grove, where you can explore our picnic area, our 1880s station building, or the Red Brick Winery.




Children of all ages are welcome to sit and listen, ask questions, doodle, draw, paste, and color to their heart's content. (Accompanying adults are also welcome to get involved!)



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.

Spring in our Gardens isn’t rendered. It’s real. And it’s our kind of AI: Always Incredible.

Every bud, bloom, and birdsong is nature-generated, crafted by sunshine and soil … not software. Color pops, leaves unfurl, and the whole landscape awakens with fresh, authentic, undeniable energy. Early spring bulbs bring the season to life, followed by flowering trees bursting into bloom. Fragrance drifts on the breeze. Radiant tulips stretch towards the sky.

Dozens of illuminated trees and lit displays draw visitors back every year to walk in the winter wonderland and linger in the festive atmosphere. A treasured Delco tradition for more than four decades, The Festival of Lights provides a perfect opportunity to get in the holiday spirit with friends and family or take a sweetheart stroll after dinner.

You can expect a winter wonderland filled with fun for the whole family, including convenient on-site parking, festive music, lighting, video & decor, delicious food & beverages, and heated hospitality tents perfect for private parties.



A Christmas tradition since 1959, Strasburg Rail Road welcomes a very special visitor every November and December. That’s right, Santa himself will climb aboard the historic steam train to greet families as they travel down the tracks to Paradise, PA and back. As a special treat, children ages 11 and under will receive a gift from Santa and his helper during this nostalgic 45-minute steam train ride.
