Weekday Picks for Philly Kids: Museums, Nature, Holidays Nov 16-20

11/14/15 - By Kristen Sullivan

When expecting my first child, I was told, "The days are long but the years are short." As my oldest son nears double digits, I realize how true that quote is. Thankfully, our Events Calendar can help make the days go quickly while savoring special moments with your kiddos.

This week offers many opportunities to create those memories. Visit a museum to foster a love for the arts. Munch on popcorn and watch a movie. Take a nature walk to discover the beauty of birds and trees. Or, cuddle up to read your favorite book from a local bookstore.

Keep reading for our top picks and be sure to sign up for our newsletters delivered straight to your inbox. Whether your days feel long or pass quickly, make them great ones!
