Today we took the girls to Smith Kids' Play Place. This place is awesome! They held an opening day celebration and fundraising event for the start of the outdoor playground season called Play-a-palooza. Smith is located in East Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. The park and playhouse mansion are free. (Today's event was $10 per child to raise money for support of the facility.) They have a mansion totally dedicated to play and a huge outdoor play area with so many different kinds of equipment that you can't find anywhere else. Seriously, this place is awesome.
The first thing we did was meet the Berenstain Bears!!
Then we went inside the playhouse mansion...
There were some people from the Philadelphia Zoo and we met a bunny rabbit and a hawk.
Little musician...
In the basement there are a bunch of riding and peddling toys to drive around the "street" and practice your traffic skills...
Red means stop!!
The reading room...
Sharing some bubble gum water ice...
So fun!!
They also have this enormous wooden slide that you use potato sacks to slide on which helps you to go super fast!
Our family had so much fun here and we are definitely going back! Who wants to go with us?
Uh, that would be Gigi and Paipa! Can't let grandkids have all the fun . . .
ReplyDeleteWe want to go! Any idea if the Berenstain bears will be back? So fun! Bummed the pic of Ava in the bowl is gone though... ;)
ReplyDeleteLauren, I don't think the Berenstain bears will be back there soon but if you like the Sprout page on FB you can see all different events where different characters will be. Also third Friday of month they have free craft day at Smith we should go together once school is out for girls :)
