Smith’s Black History Month celebration runs throughout the month of February. Highlighting the achievements of prominent African American leaders from our region, this kid-friendly exhibit offers inspiration for young learners as well as lessons in diversity, equity and inclusion.

Philly families know that spring has officially sprung when Play-A-Palooza comes to the Playground .The day is marked by games, crafts, music, food, and more, and kicks off Smith’s extended hours to accommodate the longer days of spring. 

At Smith, children rock! During the summer, we welcome award-winning bands and local youth performers to the Playground and get everyone movin’ and groovin’. 

 Smith’s not-so-scary costume party embodies fall fun on the last Friday evening in October. Carve pumpkins, roast s’mores, and experience the Playground after dark as we make the most of harvest season. Barely Scary Halloween is presented by the Pincus Family Foundation.

Help us ring in the New Year at noon on December 31st with a joyful celebration featuring family-friendly activities, games, and delicious snacks.
