Family Fun in the City

Harrisburg has unique family entertainment and attractions that you just won’t find anywhere else. Visit City Island to play Water Golf or catch a cruise around the Susquehanna River aboard one of America’s last remaining paddle-wheel riverboats, the Pride of the Susquehanna. Get up close and personal as you cheer on Harrisburg’s sports teams and enjoy watching the kids have a blast with all the interactive game-day experiences. Throughout the year, check our events calendar for kid-focused entertainment and special activities. The State Museum of Pennsylvania and the Whitaker Center also feature many interesting and changing exhibits that offer kids hands-on learning…that is actually fun! Fairy tales and fables come to life at the Popcorn Hat Players, kid friendly theatre that parents will love too!
