One hundred years ago when Childs and Helen Frick were young, people would have laughed at the idea of couch potatoes. Children’s days were filled with activity and outdoor play. Here’s your chance to get moving for an energetic day of participating in old-fashioned games and playful physical challenges.

Come ready for fun: we’ll provide the equipment for badminton, croquet, sack races, ring toss and hoop rolling. Skip through our custom hopscotch boards, and take a trip through our wacky obstacle course. Pick up copies of our Hop, Skip and Jump through Time activity guide and learn as you move across our 5.5 acres of beautiful, tree-shaded lawns. Rediscover the joys of simply having fun together outside!

In addition to the fun, family-friendly outdoor activities, you can view the exhibition
Clayton Days | Revisited: A Project by Vik Muniz and strike a Victorian pose while having your very own "vintage" photo taken in a special retro photo booth! Also tour Clayton, the historic home of the Henry Clay Frick family, at your own pace.

Family tours of Clayton are provided on Wednesdays and Saturdays in July and August. Join the fun or stop by our artifact table and touch some history.


View tours.

Take five acres of beautiful grounds; add galloping and stretching; toss in a heaping of imagination and a dash of history, and you have the perfect recipe for active fun at the Frick.

Just in time to cure the late-summer doldrums comes Hop, Skip and Jump Through Time, a family guide that takes you across the Frick site as you march, roll hoops and count silly steps from one end of the site to the other. This free publication has been created by the Frick education staff as part of Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens, a national program at museums and gardens developed by First Lady Michelle Obama to promote healthy eating and active lifestyles for children. Pick up your complimentary copy at the Visitor Center.

Weekend Workshops offer participants the opportunity to learn while completing a unique project related to exhibitions or special events. Holiday teas, print-making and keepsake mirrors are just a few of our popular subjects.
