Searching for family fun this weekend? Mommy Poppins Philadelphia has you covered.

We're one weekend away from Halloween, and the calendar is packed with festive celebrations. If parades are your thing, join marchers and spectators in Conshohocken, Skippack, or over at Linvilla Orchards. Or, hit up Candytopia: Halloween Sweets and Treats, when the sugar-infused pop-up transforms itself into a Halloween-themed playground. An early Day of the Dead celebration gets underway at Penn Museum, and the American Helicopter Museum's FamilyFest will feature helicopter rides, games, interesting exhibits, and more. Finally, dinosaurs dominate the discussion at the Academy of Natural Sciences' Paleopalooza, where kids can make Cretaceous crafts, participate in scavenger hunts, and explore real fossils.
