5. THE SPORTS ZONE: <strong>10</strong>65 Industrial Blvd, Southampton, PA <strong>18</strong>966 215-942-2212<br />
It was a total surprise to discover this place! The staff is super friendly and professional and there are lots of<br />
things for children of all ages to do. From basketball and “rock” climbing for older kids to the traditional ballpits,<br />
jumping houses and obstacle courses for younger kids. Oh— and don’t forget the mini-rides for smaller<br />
children (which require you to pay separately with tokens or quarters, so be sure to have access to both).<br />
There is also a snack-bar and dining area, but call ahead for kosher options.<br />
