                      Sesame Place during the Summer Up until this last visit we have enjoyed Sesame place during the early Spring and Winter Holiday seasons, this was our first visit during the Summer and after the most recent updates to the water attractions. We were excited to check out the various splash pads and water rides during their 43rd Birthday event. While we were hosted for this visit, I highly recommend purchasing a Season Pass if you plan to visit more than once, if not they run various deals on day tickets throughout the year, The Season Pass holders (depending on the level) get free parking, discounts on in-park purchases, early access times, bring a friend tickets and lots more perks! It is worth it for the parking alone which varies by day and typically starts at $30 for general parking (preferred is also available for purchase).  Sesame Place is located in Langhorne, PA which is also just near the Oxford Valley Mall and restaurants making it easy to make a day of yo

Whether your kids are in camp or at home for the Summer, you'll need ways to keep it fun without breaking the bank and I've got a great list for you of low cost and free things to do this Summer, so let's get started! Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens in Devon is open every day from 9am-8pm and is comprised of 48 acres of gardens and woodland, with 1.2 miles of trails. Enjoy Guided Tours on "Walk about Wednesdays" or visit during their upcoming National Pollinator Week (6/19-6/25) for additional activities.

 Arnold's Family Fun Center This massive activity center spans over 150,000 square feet of family friendly fun to keep your children entertained for hours! One of the things I love is that you do not have to pay an entrance fee, parking fee or reserve a time to visit, come when you can and plan to be there for quite some time.  When you first enter you can browse the pricing and attraction options for your visit. There is so much to choose from, but there is something for every age group! Kiddie Rides, Miniature Golf, black light edition, Arcade games, Go Karts, Bouncy houses, Laser Tag, Bowling and more! Load up an Arnold's Play Card and use it on any of these attractions, plus if you need to reload or check a balance, they have a self-serve kiosk on the arcade floor to make it convenient and easy. They have a pretty wide range of prizes too! Let's start with the arcade! This is Emma's favorite past time when we find a fun center, she especially loves the claw machines

  The Franklin Institute Located in Philadelphia, this Science Museum provides an educational, fun and unique experience for everyone, especially families! With 3 floors that offer interactive attractions, live shows and dissections, plus a Planetarium to explore. We did not have a plan in place when visiting, but after spending the day I can certainly offer one for you! We started on the main floor that has some exhibits, a snack station, Franklin Memorial, Pendulum Stairs, The Eatery and the ticketing area. While they is so much to do here, I recommend starting on Floor 3 if you have littles that need to get out some energy since almost all of the exhibits are interactive in the SportsZone. Here are a few of them! Hop on this life like surfboard complete with movement and controls                                     This 3 lane track allows you to race a friend with a timer!                                                         This bike race was pretty fun too! Now let's go ba

Sesame Place We enjoyed Mother's Day this year at Sesame Place in Langhorne, our family was #hosted and got to experience Dine with Elmo and Friends as well as Magic Queue bands! This theme park is filled with non-stop fun things to do with your family from rides to shows to character meet and greets and more! Right now you can experience Elmo's Springtacular event happening through June 18th featuring themed weekends and all your favorites.  I highly recommend downloading their app before you visit! It allows you to keep your tickets on hand, gives you the daily schedule of shows and meet & greets, helps navigate you throughout the park, and will highlight where you can eat and shop.  We first hit the rides and headed to Cookie's Monster Land where many of the rides are located. One of the things I love about Sesame Place is that most, if not all the rides you can go on with your kids! There is something for everyone here, you have your classic rides like the carousel
