When schools are closed, we’re open! Bring your kids to the Schuylkill Center for a day of fun and exploration. Travel silently and unseen through the forest while practicing spatial awareness and navigation skills. Solve nature puzzles and team challenges, go on a series of adventures, and figure out which other animals are active outdoors in the winter. Please bring a packed lunch and a water bottle. Wear weather-appropriate clothing. Extended day until 6:00 pm is available for an additional $15/day.
It’s never too late to learn a new skill. The third Tuesday from December to February focuses on a different topic, including a take-home project and beer generously provided by Yards Brewery. Sign up for one program or all three. Registration required and will close one week prior to the start of each program. Cost varies by program.
Road salt (sodium chloride) is everywhere during winter months. It keeps us safe on roads and sidewalks, but it can also pose a threat to fish and wildlife as well as human health.

Winter is a great time for bird watching. Birds need to be active and feeding to stay warm and they become easier to observe along the trails once the leaves fall. Beginners pair up with experienced birders to continue our annual tradition of monitoring the species richness and abundance of birds that winter in our fields and forests. All of the information we collect will be shared with other citizen scientists, helping us understand how our local bird populations change over time. Warm drinks and snacks provided.
Participation in the Winter Bird Census is FREE; registration is requested. If there is inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled.
Ring in 2019 at the most spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations in Philadelphia – Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest's Parties on Ice! It's the best spot in the city to watch the SugarHouse New Year's Eve Fireworks on the Waterfront because the barges are positioned in front of the rink for optimal viewing. Add ice skating, food, cash bar, fire pits, heated Lodge, and activities, and you've got yourself one of the best New Year's Eve Parties in town -- correction -- the best two NYE Parties.
That's right! Here in Philadelphia we celebrate the New Year with two Parties on Ice. The 5-8PM party is perfect for those of you with small kids or for those who want to head over to other events for midnight. The 10PM-1AM party is ideal for those looking for THE SPOT for the countdown.
