Hey Weekenders ❄️

There’s still plenty of snow on the ground and a chance of more winter weather sneaking in this weekend, so things might look a little different than usual. Some plans may shift, some events may get postponed — but that doesn’t mean the weekend is a total wash.

We’ve rounded up a solid mix of indoor-friendly events, plus a few winter favorites that are worth bundling up for if the weather cooperates. And if staying home ends up being the move, we’ve got ideas for that too. Either way, consider this your guide to making the most of a snowy South Jersey weekend.

As always, double-check event pages before heading out, stay safe on the roads, and let’s roll with whatever winter throws our way.

🌊 Indoor Water Parks

Sahara Sam’s — West Berlin
Another winter-water-park classic. Bring towels. Bring snacks. Bring tired kids home afterward.

🎡 Indoor Fun Parks

The Funplex — Mt. Laurel
