As you seek out fun and educational activities for your family, consider one of the Philadelphia area's little-known gems: Newlin Grist Mill, a 160-acre park in Glen Mills that combines opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploring history and the environment. Whether you're interested in hiking the eight miles of nature trails or learning about Colonial Pennsylvania, you can craft an excursion for anywhere from an hour to an afternoon for everyone from toddlers through adults.

It's an ideal addition to our Spring Fun Guide and yet another thing we are excited to do with kids this spring.
