School's out, the days are long, and summer is in full swing -- cue rosy cheeks and sweaty hair. To help you and your family have fun while avoiding heat exhaustion, we've compiled a list of 10 Greater Philadelphia playgrounds that will help you beat the heat. 

Maybe you're considering a vacation this spring break, or perhaps staying local works out better this year. Whether near or far from home, trying to find fun ways to entertain your kids when school's out can be a challenge. We've got you covered. Check out these ten Greater Philly activities that will keep your kids engaged this April (and hopefully offer you some enjoyment too).  

Are the kids praying for a snow day in Philadelphia? When you're a kid, school closings for a snow day means snowball fights, snow angels, sleds, and snowmen. Add in some hot chocolate, warm cookies, and a few indoor activities and you've got one memorable day off from school. 

But parents just need to know whether or not the school is open or closed due to snow, so they can get on with planning their workday and commute! 

So is the school closed today? Will there be early dismissal or a late opening for Philadelphia schools? We as parents have the same questions, so we've compiled a few local resources, so you can stay up to date on weather-related school closures in Philadelphia.
