  •  A wide variety of old-fashioned pastimes and fun physical challenges similar to those enjoyed by the Frick children more than 100 years ago.
  • "Hop, Skip and Jump Through Time" across the Frick's 5.5 acres of tree-shaded lawns using the Frick-produced activity guide based on First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move initiative to promote healthy
    eating and active lifestyles for children.
  • Journey back in time and have a "vintage" photo taken.
  • Step lively—have fun moving with Pittsburgh dancer Tracie Yorke.
  •  Tour Clayton, the historic home of the Henry Clay Frick family, at their
    own pace.

Families can visit the Frick, participate in physical and artistic activities, visit the museums, enjoy the grounds and rediscover the joys of simply having fun together outside. This free event is open to the public, and advance reservations are not required.
