Spring has officially sprung! Here’s our list of the top things to do in Moorestown and Haddonfield this spring for the entire family.
Top Things to Do in Moorestown This Spring
Play Outside
Frank Fullerton Memorial Park is the best playground in Moorestown. And Strawbridge Lake Park might be the best place to go on a walk or have a picnic near the water. It also backs up to Memorial Fields which is a great spot for kids to run around.
Sign Up For Camp
ESF has a host of camp options to choose from. Some of the speciality majors are pretty neat too! ESF does a nice job of switching it up, as they offer programs like art, space, CSI forensics, animal advocacy, fashion design, performing arts, an inventors club, and they even have chef academy. Get all the details here.
Dine Alfresco
The Cubby Hole and a host of other Main Street jaunts have great outside seating where you can eat delicious foods while you soak up the spring sun or people watch.
Grab A Slice

Eat Some Pie
Pie Lady on Main Street in Moorestown is becoming a household name for pies and other baked goods. While the pies are outstanding, it would be remiss not to order a scone or a slice of quiche while you’re there. An added bonus? People rave about the La Colombe coffee.
