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

It's supposed to be another cold and possibly snowy weekend again. What to do with the kiddos? Luckily I'll be gloating in sunny and warm Houston while you all suffer (heh) but if you need a place to go this weekend, I've got the buzz. Plus these are all the places I'm sending my husband and kid to while I'm gone. Heh.

Friday

3pm: Please Touch Museum is hosting a jazzy theater show with Scat Cat's Junior Jazz Jamboree. Along with everything else Please Touch has to offer, this is a win/win. Plus, all day long on Friday is the Please Touch Museum's annual Jazz Festival so there will be plenty of fun music for both kids AND grownups.

Saturday

11:30 & 1:30pm: One of the greatest things about living in Philadelphia is the awesomeness that is the radio show Kid's Corner on WXPN every evening at 7pm. Kid's Corner is proudly hosting one of their favorite bands, Trout Fishing In America, at the World Cafe Live Venue today! Don't miss this chance to see this fun band in person.

Sunday

All Day: Learn some history, spook the kids, and have some hot chocolate at the Eastern State Penitentiary with their winter tours. This historic prison is creepy even when it's not all decked out for Halloween.

6pm: The Discovery Museum in Cherry Hill, NJ offers a special open play time for families with children with Autism. Not only is the after-hours event closed to non-Autistic children, it's also FREE. Please check link and email to register.
