A fun, hands-on adventure for Philly kids next weekend
Hey Philly moms - if you’re looking for a weekend outing that’s more than just a walk in the park, here’s one you’ll love. On Saturday, November 29, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center is hosting “Wayfinding by the River!” - a treasure-hunt style activity along the Schuylkill River and inside the Center.
Every family receives a “passport”-style passbook, a series of water-themed clues, and stamps to collect as you explore hidden caches inside and outdoors. It’s part scavenger hunt, part nature walk, and all kinds of fun for kids and parents alike.
The event is located at 640 Waterworks Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19130, right in Fairmount Park.
Admission: It says $5 per family for this specific event.
Bring comfortable shoes (you’ll walk inside + outside), and dress in layers - the river breeze can get chilly.
Consider parking early or using public transit since the park area can get busy.
Bring a backpack with water/snacks - the kids might want a breather after clue-finding.
If you’re wearing cute mommy + me matching outfits (hello, holiday prep!), it’s a photo-worthy spot - the river background is gorgeous.
This “Wayfinding by the River!” event is exactly the type of outing that aligns with your brand: celebrating motherhood by creating meaningful moments, engaging your kids in stuff that matters, and doing it in Philly. It’s simple, smart, and memorable.
If you’re looking for a fun activity this week, mark your calendars and go enjoy some clue-collecting, river breeze, and joy with your little ones.
