Theaters, landmarks, and the places that fill a Saturday.
14 things to do in Narberth, PA, on one page: 6 kids, 4 landmark, 4 outdoors. 54 events are coming up at these venues; the Narberth calendar has the dates.
A 12-acre garden at the Barnes Foundation's Merion campus growing more than 2,500 taxa of woody and herbaceous plants, with lilac, peony, fern, and hosta collections. Laura Barnes founded its horticulture school here in 1940, and the grounds open to visitors Thursday through Monday, 11 am to 5 pm.
A kids' candy-crafting studio on Haverford Avenue running summer camps and candy-science classes, where the projects are edible experiments. Around Halloween the crafts turn spooky and costumes are encouraged.
A 2-mile multi-use trail running from Cynwyd Station to the Manayunk Viaduct along an unused stretch of SEPTA's R-6 tracks, with separate paved and soft-surface paths. Three trailheads, and leashed dogs are welcome (8-foot leash max).
The Bala Cynwyd half of Laurel Hill, a historic cemetery and certified arboretum spanning 265 acres across its two locations, open to the public free, 365 days a year. Grounds hours run 7 am to 7 pm in summer, 7 to 5 in winter.
A 13.5-acre township nature park on Merion Road, a few minutes from downtown Narberth. Quieter than Narberth Park on a Saturday.
A 1695 meetinghouse founded by Welsh Quakers who arrived in 1682, now a National Historic Landmark and the second-oldest Friends meetinghouse in the country. It is still an active congregation, with silent worship every Sunday at 11 am and a burial ground holding an estimated 2,000 graves, many unmarked in early Quaker custom.
Narberth's public library on Windsor Ave, right by the park. Small collection, story times for kids, and a desk that knows the regulars.
The town's backyard off Windsor Ave, with a playground, ball fields, and a community pool for summer. It's the default spot for Little League and long afternoons outside.
The town skatepark off Windsor Ave, concrete and rails for the kids working on their kickflips. Bring the boards and burn an afternoon.
The neighborhood playground inside Narbrook Park, the historic garden-suburb enclave in Narberth. Bring the kids and let them run.
A paint-your-own-pottery studio on Haverford Ave where you pick a blank mug or bowl and make an afternoon of it. Kids' birthday standby, and a decent rainy-day plan for the rest of us.
Narberth's own two-screen movie house on Narberth Avenue, first-run films a short walk from dinner. The neighborhood answer to a multiplex parking lot.
A 103-acre township nature park in Gladwyne with hiking and equestrian trails. It is the park Narberth people drive to when the borough starts to feel small.
A small, wooded neighborhood park in Narberth, quiet and kept up by the Friends of Sabine Park. The kind of green pocket you walk to, not drive to.
