Looking for simple, fun things to do in Lansdale this weekend?
Whether you're planning a family day out or staying in with your teens, North Penn has plenty to offer—from outdoor events to binge-worthy streaming choices.
In this guide, we’ll cover the top local activities happening around Lansdale, share indoor entertainment ideas for rainy days, and recommend a popular anime series (Attack on Titan)—plus a quick tip on how a VPN can help you access it all without limits.
If the weather holds up, Lansdale offers some beautiful outdoor spaces that are perfect for a low-cost weekend outing. Stony Creek Park and Whites Road Park are local favorites, offering walking trails, open fields, and peaceful picnic areas. Both locations have plenty of space for families with children or teens to unwind without spending a dime.
For something more adventurous, Norristown Farm Park and Evansburg State Park are nearby and great for quick hikes or a breath of fresh air. You don't need to plan a whole day—just a few hours outside can reset the whole family’s energy.
The Lansdale Farmers Market (open Saturdays from May through November) is a great place to pick up fresh produce, handmade treats, and local crafts. Teens may not be thrilled at first—but with food trucks, cold brews (for parents), and live music, everyone usually finds something to enjoy.
Keep an eye on community bulletin boards and NorthPennNow’s events section for local craft fairs, flea markets, and neighborhood block parties happening this weekend. These events make for great quick outings that feel more exciting than your average grocery run.

If it’s raining or just too hot, indoor spots like the Morgan Log House Museum or Lansdale Historical Society are affordable options with educational value. These venues often have low-cost weekend programs, and many are teen-friendly if presented the right way.
Community centers like the North Penn YMCA also offer drop-in classes and weekend events that can help your family stay active indoors.
Sometimes the best weekends happen at home. Bring out some classic board games, try a family baking challenge, or set up a quick DIY craft table with your kids. For families with teens, letting them plan a meal or lead a game night can be a great way to encourage independence while keeping things fun.
If you’re staying in, streaming services offer no shortage of entertainment. Here are a few picks that families and teens can enjoy together:
These selections cover multiple age groups, so parents and teens can share the screen without arguments.
If your teen is an anime fan (or if you are), Attack on Titan is one series that continues to capture attention in 2025. With themes of freedom, resistance, and deep character development, it’s far more than just an animated action show.
Many teens enjoy the intense storyline and animation style, while older viewers can appreciate the political and ethical layers. It’s a series that sparks discussion—and, let’s be honest, some healthy debates too.
If you’re curious where to watch Attack on Titan reliably, there are a few region-specific options—especially if you’re using tools like a VPN to access international libraries. (We’ll break those down shortly)
Here’s the tricky part: not every version of Attack on Titan is available on every platform.
Streaming rights are divided by region, which means what’s available in the U.S. might be completely different in the UK, Canada, or Japan. That’s why Attack on Titan might show up fully available in one country’s Netflix, but not in another.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you change your device’s virtual location. If you set your location to Japan, you can unlock Netflix Japan’s anime catalog, including all seasons of Attack on Titan. It also works for other anime or international content that may be missing from U.S. libraries.
If you’re new to this, here’s a quick guide on how to use a VPN for streaming global content smoothly—including tips to make sure you get fast speeds and access the best libraries.
If you're considering a VPN, choose one with:
Popular options include X-VPN, which is simple to use and doesn’t require advanced tech knowledge. It works on laptops, phones, tablets, and smart TVs. Just install, select Japan, and restart your Netflix app.
Your weekend doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Try a Saturday morning stroll at the Lansdale Farmers Market, then relax in the afternoon with a good anime binge. Or attend a school concert, followed by popcorn and Attack on Titan in the evening.
Whether you're a parent of teens or a student at home for the weekend, this guide has something for everyone. Bookmark it, share it, and make your next Lansdale weekend your best one yet.
