Most indoor play areas have high costs which you do not want to spend when you do not know how long your child will want to stay. Check out my favorite indoor play area in Bucks County that is absolutely free!

Our Experience
My kids love this library. Even though it is a bit of a drive for us it is definitely worth it. The kids always make a beeline for Penn’s Little Village first. My son always enjoys working on the car in the shop the most. My daughter likes to sell things in the grocery store or play inside of the trailer. After that they enjoy playing with many of the other toys that are out. Their favorite are the magnetic tiles.
We often go in the morning so we head into the storytime while we are there. The kids like to pack snacks and lunch. We go outside to eat in front of the library whenever we get hungry. This library is always a great place to visit. Be sure to check it out yourself!

Sesame Place is in Langhorne. This is a great place to visit with younger kids. If they have difficulty waiting in lines for rides there are still plenty of funny shows with characters, parades and character meet and greets that they can enjoy. In the summer the water park is also open and part of the activities you can do there as well.
