Head down to Spruce Street Harbor Park on the Philly waterfront for free, Family Funday Sunday — every Sunday this summer from 12:30 pm to 6 pm. There will be fun fitness classes, crafts, and activities, with pop-up play each week.
Start your day with Active Kids, featuring weekly activities curated by our friends at PopUpPlay. From Jump Rope Challenges with Philly Girls Jump to fitness games with MOVE IT! Kidz 4 Fitness, the whole family is guaranteed to have a blast while staying active.
Afterward, grab a bite and a sip and then return for crafts and more with PopUpPlay from 1 pm to 3 pm. Activities include boat building, puppet making, and even constructing a working catapult. Each week promises captivating experiences for kids of all ages.
There will be a new make-and-take activity each week. Activities are first come, first serve and are available while supplies last. Check the schedule for updates.
