Labor Day and End of Summer Family Fun Things To Do Around Chester County and the Philadelphia Main Line Pa
Labor Day September 5, 2011 – It’s hard to believe that we’re already thinking about Labor Day. Multiple heat waves made this Summer seem all
too short as we hop scotched from air conditioned homes to air conditioned cars, work places and home again. Soon, the mass exodus from the New Jersey Shore will begin.
Here’s some fun things to do in and around the Philadelphia Main Line Area and Chester County Pennsylvania:
- Tyler Arboretum in Media- Tree House Festival- features kids tree climbing and craft activities 8/6/11 from 11-3pm
- Longwood Gardens – Fireworks and Fountains August 13th and Labor Day September 3, 2011. Dancing fountains and music make these the most spectacular fireworks in the burbs. Probably not for the kids and ALL their friends due to the admission price, but The Indoor Children’s Garden is included in general admission. It will delight your children and you with 17 fun Artisan Fountains like the “Drooling Dragon”. The Bee Amazed Children’s Garden and Castle Tree Houses combine to make a family fun day at Longwood Gardens in Delaware County.
