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

A list of the best things to do in Delaware County this weekend
October 31st, November 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! 


In addition to free admission, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., join in creative art activities* featuring the amazing illustrations at the Brandywine. Join teaching artists in designing a three-dimensional story book and a creative character illustration. 
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!



Enjoy views of the farm on a 15-minute ride through our fields on a Harvest Hayride! This hayride departs from Pumpkinland. Timed tickets are required. 



Europe in the 17th century has outgrown its borders. Political and religious wars on the continent and in Great Britain have catapulted its people into the modern age. The Americas have been mapped and explored for more than a century, and the great Continental powers have staked their claims to the new territory. Conflicts and cultural clashes are occurring. Witness a period of our history that shows the expanding horizons of both Europe and America.  



An annual trip to Pumpkinland has been a family tradition for generations of Delaware Valley Residents. During the months of September and October, Pumpkinland takes center stage at Linvilla Orchards. Larger-than-life figures and scarecrows illustrate the legends and lore of the harvest season, local history, and some of the many stories of pumpkins and apples.




Teens and Tweens will enjoy The Bates Motel & Haunted Hayride, which has been voted the #1 haunt in the country and has been featured on the Travel Channel. 




Enjoy a brisk fall afternoon along the picturesque Chester Creek Valley from our train as we take you on a 90-minute journey back in time to the village of Glen Mills and return.



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.

Looking to spark your child’s curiosity about the outdoors? Join us for Family Explorers: What Lives at the Arboretum? This program invites families to explore nature using their senses to uncover its secrets. Each month, we’ll head outdoors to discover a different seasonal theme, searching for plants, animals, and other natural wonders that bring the Arboretum to life. We’ll take a closer look at our discoveries using simple tools like magnifying glasses or binoculars.

Get ready for a spooky good time! 
Join us at our annual Trunk or Treat event at Middletown Fire Company on Saturday, October 25th!



Fairytales and fables are narratives passed down through the tradition of oral storytelling. While these stories may contain many magical and fantastical elements, they also act as little windows into life in the past. Journey throughout the Farmstead, and listen to our narrators tell family-friendly versions of old fairytales and fables while demonstrating skills from the 18th century. Along your journey, meet enchanting characters, hear bewitching stories, and collect treats and treasures. Both children and adults are invited to come in costume and bring trick-or-treating bags.


Join us for a Jack-O- Lantern stroll, contest & yard games, fall treats & photo op! All participants will get 1 ticket to place at their favorite Jack-O-Lantern. Winners announced at 7:30PM



Get ready for a musical experience, ripped from the pages of Mo Willems' best-selling children's books, that will leave audiences doing the "Flippy Floppy Floory" dance all night long! In Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR., Gerald and Piggie take to the stage in a rollicking adventure. An elephant named Gerald and a pig named Piggie are "bestus" friends, but Gerald worries that something could go wrong that would end their friendship. Piggie is not worried at all. She's even happier and more excited than usual because they have been invited to a party hosted by the Squirrelles, three singing squirrels who love to have a good time. And so begins a day when anything is possible. Filled with joyful characters and lively songs, Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!" JR. is a perfect way to introduce young people to theatre, making this an excellent educational theatre experience! 



Linvilla Orchard's famous Hayride to the Witches’ House is a hayride where you can visit the friendly Witches’ House in the woods. The witch tells stories and jokes and gives all of the kids a treat. The hayride ends at a campfire, where you receive a sample of apple cider and marshmallows to roast.
