5 Things to Do with Kids This Summer in South Jersey

School is out for the summer, but that doesn't mean that the learning and fun needs to stop. Here are five suggestions for family-friendly activities from The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Families can enjoy $3 movies throughout the summer at local AMC Theaters across Cherry Hill and surrounding areas. Showtimes are generally between noon and 3 p.m. | Various AMC Theater locations

Visitors to Edelman Fossil Park can travel back in time 66 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed South Jersey during the Cretaceous period. Exhibitions here will immerse visitors in full-scale recreations of dinosaurs, virtual reality expeditions, and a fossil pit where guests can find physical history themselves. 

The museum's $24 to $29 admission grants access to multiple floors of dinosaur, science, and live animal exhibits, while the virtual reality expedition and quarry fossil digs are available for $25 add-ons. | 66 Million Mosasaur Way,

The “world's largest bounce park” is visiting the Cherry Hill Mall, bringing with it 25,000 square feet of climbable ninja walls, a 23-foot slide, obstacle courses, and more. Funbox is open to all ages. | Cherry Hill Mall, 2000 NJ-38, Cherry Hill

Explore life at Johnson's Corner Farm in Medford. A $6 to $12 day pass gives visitors access to the Discovery Barn, where kids can play on a pretend farm, ride pedal and go-carts, and make waves in the splash zone. The farm also offers a “you-pick” opportunity for seasonal crops such as blueberries and radishes. | 133 Church Road,

Go for a nature walk through three miles of easy trails that meander through the forest and waterways of Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in Medford. The refuge is home to approximately 50 species — including reptiles, hawks, and small mammals — that visitors can see in the wildlife housing area. Visit the nature center before your walk to learn more from interactive exhibits and explore the Reptile Room. | 4 Sawmill Road, Medford
