As winter grinds on, cabin fever is setting in for many of us that long for activities that take us outside of the home and workplace. As a remedy, here are just a few of the many activities and places that families can go in and around Philly to get a temporary cure for that cabin fever feeling.
Subaru owners aren't the only ones that know that The Philadelphia Zoo in Fairmount Park is a
great winter destination for the whole family. The numerous heated houses
filled with animals and activities are a great way to keep warm while you have
a ton of fun. From the KidZooU and the always popular reptile house to the
McNeal Avian Center, you'll find just a few of the great exhibit spaces where
trainers and animals provide interactive experiences. Check the zoo's schedule
often as new events are added regularly where shows and demonstrations are
front and center.
If you haven't been to a SkyZone Trampoline Park, then you don't know what fun you’re missing. Located
in various locales around Pennsylvania, the nearest locations to Philadelphia
are just minutes away in Glen Mills and Levittown, PA. Picture a huge indoor
space with massive trampolines covering the space. Not only is this meticulously
designed to be a safe and fun activity for youngsters, they have great fitness
classes for adults. If you've never been, it's hard to picture it, so go to their website, check it out and jump in your Subaru and head out there for some
trampoline fun.
The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and
Anthropology is one indoor activity that has something for everyone regardless of
age. With one of the best archeology and anthropology collections in the United
States, the museum has more than 30 galleries displaying items from around the
world. Explore artifacts unearthed from the early history of Greece, Egypt,
Africa, Native American, and other cities and civilizations of the ancient
world. http://www.penn.museum/
Everyone loves mini golf, and when you can play it indoors
and in comfort in the winter there is no better place than Adventurers Mini Golf. You'll get a
thrill in their explorer themed black light 18-hole miniature golf course where
you can play through in the Amazon jungle. There are also theme areas that
allow you to play in the arctic if that is your thing during the winter. Don't
worry, you'll stay warm and toasty and you'll soon be playing among the
pyramids of Egypt in their fantastical custom built mini golf facility.
This is the perfect activity for you and the kids, but it's
also great fun for adults as the courses are made to be challenging. Of course,
you can enjoy a large contingent of classic arcade games onsite as well.
Another great activity is Go Kart Racing at Speed Raceway just 20 miles from downtown
Philly. Get your adrenaline going in their eco-friendly Italian-made OTL Storm electric
Karts as you race inches from the ground on one of their fantastically exciting
and safe tracks. Everyone gets safety training before they get behind the wheel
and everyone wears a helmet and safety harness inside the go kart. The races
are timed and there is even league racing where you can win cash prizes.
Subaru owners in Philadelphia know that there is no reason
to stay cooped up indoors during the winter. There are plenty of fantastic
activities in the area where you can have fun and excitement with all levels of
physical activity while you stay warm and toasty inside. Of course, Subaru
owners will have no problem getting there since they've made the choice of a
vehicle made to do battle with anything that a Philadelphia winter can dish
out.
