Kick off your morning with a hike along the picturesque trails of Valley Forge National Historical Park. Scenic paths through lush forests lead to iconic landmarks like Washington’s Headquarters and the National Memorial Arch.

For those seeking a bit more thrill, mountain biking at nearby Evansburg State Park or along the Schuylkill River Trail offers adrenaline-pumping excitement with stunning views. If you prefer water activities, Schuylkill River is also a great spot for kayaking and canoeing. Paddle past picturesque landscapes, and keep an eye out for local wildlife as you navigate the gentle currents. It’s a perfect way to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the area while enjoying a fun and active outdoor activity.

A trip to Elmwood Park Zoo is a fantastic opportunity to explore the wildlife conservation exhibits and see some of your favorite animals. Afterward, the family can enjoy the zoo’s Treetop Adventures for some high-flying fun. Here you can strap on a harness and tackle the treetop obstacle courses, which feature ziplines, rope bridges, and Tarzan swings. This aerial challenge is perfect for adventurers of all ages and offers a unique perspective of the zoo’s landscape from above.

For a slightly more relaxed day out, channel your inner artist or encourage young artists in the family by joining the Art in the Park Meet-Up series at Valley Forge National Historical Park. Held once a month until November, this event invites artists of all kinds to bring their own equipment and supplies to draw, sketch, paint, or photograph the stunning surroundings. It’s a wonderful opportunity to create art in a supportive environment and be inspired by the beautiful park setting.

The region is full of history and there are fun and interesting ways to expand your knowledge at the Montgomery County Visitor Center’s museum within Valley Forge National Historical Park.
