Pelham with Kids: 25 Things to Do for Westchester Families

7/8/13 - By Sonia Gonzalez

Pelham, located in lower Westchester, has the unique distinction of being both the first and smallest town in Westchester County. Small, yes, but there's still lots to do here and its picturesque, small-town feel is part of its charm. Originally incorporating areas of the Bronx including City Island and Pelham Bay Park, the town is now nestled just along the border of the Bronx, less than a half hour from Manhattan on the Metro North.  

Pelham’s top-notch public schools, close proximity to NYC, CT and greater Westchester along with many recreational and cultural centers and activities makes it a great neighborhood for families. The town offers many family friendly eateries, seasonal events, charming boutiques, engaging programs, classes and more. Strolling along Wolf’s Lane, the town’s “Main Street,” it’s hard to imagine that bustling, vibrant NYC is just minutes away. For the purposes of this post, we’re including both the Village of Pelham and Pelham Manor. Read on for 25 things to do with kids in Pelham.
