Elmo! And Other Hot Events For A Cool Weekend

March 05, 2009

Well, actually, it won't be all that cool this weekend. We're expecting a nice warm up that will hopefully melt all this snow (whew!), so be sure to get a jump start on spring and get outside with your little ones! Speaking of jump starting spring, this weekend is the big time change (I know, already!). Don't forget to Spring Ahead on Sunday!

Friday!

Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows Up. Unless you live in a cave, you already know about this one. But tickets are still available, so it's not too late! At the Wachovia Center at 10:30am and 5:30pm every day this weekend. Tickets range from $12 to $48. 

Saturday!

Sound All Around: The Philadelphia Orchestra. A great way to introduce your little ones to various music intruments, plus hear a great story by storyteller Charlotte Blake Aston. At 10am at the Kimmel Center, Broad and Spruce. $8.50.

Astrograss For Kids at The World Cafe Live. This awesome series called Peanut Butter and Jams is scheduled for most Saturday mornings and always features an awesome fun band for kids. With a great dance floor and an included lunch, this is one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning. At World Cafe Life at 31st & Chestnut. Adults $10, kids $7.

Sunday!

A Year With Frog & Toad: Arden Theater. This lovely play based on the famous series of books by Arnold Lobel is fun for the whole family, and you can't get a better small theater space than the Arden. At the Arden Theater Company, 40 N. 2nd Street at 10am. Tickets $10-$15.
