Wayne, PA, is a frequent entry on Best of the ’Burbs lists. This upscale Main Line town with a walkable downtown has a rich history dating back to the Lenni Lenape. Settled by the Quakers in the 1600s, it’s now home to landmarks like the Art Deco Anthony Wayne Theater<\/a> (above) and the Valley Forge Military Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Go: <\/span>Wayne’s about a half-hour west of Philly, whether you’re driving the Schuylkill or taking SEPTA to Wayne Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Create: <\/span>The first art center on the Main Line, the Wayne Art Center<\/a> has built a community around its enviable galleries and roster of artsy classes and camps. (413 Maplewood Ave.)<\/p>\n

Eat:<\/span> The small Crêperie Béchamel<\/a> serves up filled pancakes that range from savory (mushroom and gruyère, chicken with roasted asparagus and cashew pesto) to sweet (caramel s’mores, chocolate strawberry). A gluten-free batter’s available. (11 Louella Ct.)<\/p>\n

Shop: <\/span>The small, family-run Lucky Duck Toys<\/a> has an impressive stock of 10,000 imaginative playthings well past the fare found in big-box aisles.(106 E. Lancaster Ave.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Smell the roses:<\/span> Kids 12 and under can explore all 37 exquisite acres of Chanticleer’s estate gardens for free. Kidbit: Chanticleer<\/a> is the inspirational site of a duo of YA novels, Beth Kephart’s Ghosts in the Garden<\/a> and Nothing but Ghosts<\/a>. (786 Church Rd.)<\/p>\n

Snack:<\/span> With a delicious spin on the term “belly up to the bar,” the Wayne Bar<\/a> across from the station specializes in donuts and hand-crafted, small-batch granola in the morning hours, French pot-made organic ice cream from afternoon through evening. (134 N. Wayne Ave.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Color and kick back:<\/span> Beyond its normal drop-in-and-paint-pottery appeal, Color Me Mine<\/a> schedules monthly Kids Night Out events. They stay, paint and eat pizza while you enjoy an adult evening guilt-free. (109 W. Lancaster Ave.) <\/p>\n
