this weekend
April 24th, 25th & 26th
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, featuring 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!
The Upper Uwchlan Township Environmental Advisory Council will host their annual event, a celebration of Earth Day, on Sunday, April 26th. The event will feature exhibits and vendors sharing sustainable and earth-friendly tips, demos, and products. This event will be held rain or shine.
The 19th Annual West Chester Film Festival will be held from Friday, April 24, to Sunday, April 26th. Our festival presents short films of 30 minutes or less from around the world. During the weekend, we will show over 50 films, from 2-minute comedies to 30-minute dramas and everything in between.
Held on our school grounds, Fairville's Fun Fair is especially great for families with toddlers, preschoolers, and young children. Enjoy pony rides, moon bounces, and cookie decorating. Dig for treasures in a giant sandpit, engage in age-appropriate arts and crafts, and even climb aboard a tractor! The Fun Fair also offers live entertainment. Delicious, healthy lunch fare will be available for purchase.
Swing into adventure with Tarzan, a high-energy Broadway spectacle that brings the jungle to life with breathtaking aerial choreography, heart-pounding music, and a powerful story about finding where you belong.
Follow Tarzan’s unforgettable journey from curious child to courageous hero as he discovers love, family, and the strength to embrace who he truly is. With stunning visuals, soaring songs, and nonstop excitement, this is a theatrical experience that will leave audiences of all ages on the edge of their seats—and cheering for more!
Discover the sights, sounds, and scents of the season with a fun, 30-minute nature walk designed for the whole family.
Explore nature near and far with tools like magnifying glasses and binoculars while using your senses to experience the Gardens through a new lens. Recommended for adults and children.
Spring in our Gardens isn’t rendered. It’s real. And it’s our kind of AI: Always Incredible.
Every bud, bloom, and birdsong is nature-generated, crafted by sunshine and soil … not software. Color pops, leaves unfurl, and the whole landscape awakens with fresh, authentic, undeniable energy. Early spring bulbs bring the season to life, followed by flowering trees bursting into bloom. Fragrance drifts on the breeze. Radiant tulips stretch towards the sky.
Imagination Street a new play space that kids and parents can enjoy together. For kids (ages 0–9), it is a meaningful, hands-on play experience in nine, interactive, themed playhouses that form a “city” to explore. For parents, there’s a cafe-style lounge to gather, drink coffee, or get some work done. Because the space is an open concept, parents are in close proximity of their children the entire time. They offer open play sessions, private parties, events, and more.

This fun alternative to babysitting makes it easy for you to have the enjoyable afternoon or evening you deserve while knowing your child is safe, supervised and having a blast! During Parents Days and Nights Out, they’ll be busy playing games, rock climbing, and participating in a variety of activities throughout the evening while you spend a night on the town or simply relax at home! We wind down the evening with a little movie time for those who tire out, or open play time for those who still have more energy to burn off. Dinner of pizza and a drink is included.
