Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Philadelphia, PA

So, what's happening this lovely weekend of the Spring Equinox? Below you'll find my best recommendations for the weekend.

Friday

Cinderella. For the slightly older kids, this weekend is the final weekend of the Pennsylvania Ballet's performance of Cinderella. Tickets are still available, so check it out! @8pm at the Academy of Music. 

The Very Hungry Caterpiller. The Please Touch Museum is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of our favorite hungry caterpillar book by Eric Carle. Stop by for various events throughout the day at the best local children's museum.

Saturday

150th Birthday! The Philadelphia Zoo is proudly celebrating it's 150th birthday as the oldest Zoo in the nation! You'll find all kinds of fantastic events all weekend long. An excellent time to visit the zoo! (and that reminds me, must renew my membership!).

Sendak in Spring! Visit the marvelous Rosenbach Museum and celebrate the awesomeness that is Maurice Sendak. You'll find events all afternoon from 12-4pm featuring the works of the author of Where The Wild Things Are as well as an exhibition of his drawings and paintings. 

Sunday

Home and Garden. Just in case it's raining, you might want to head on over to Doylestown's Delaware Valley College campus to enjoy the Bucks Beautiful Home and Garden show. You'll find lots of flowers and displays to enjoy plus great kid's activities as well.  $8 admission for everyone 13 and up.

Children's Concert--Free! This great free concert by the Kennett Symphony orchestra also features a "instrumernt petting zoo" afterwards, so kids get to handle the instruments! What a fun idea. 2pm, @ West Chester University.
