Top 5 Places to Stay Cool in TE

The Philadelphia area is under a excessive heat warning all week with heat indexes expected to top 100 degrees.

Staying cool is not just about comfort, for some people it’s about safety. Weather like this puts everyone, but especially the very young and older adults, at risk.

Here’s TE Patch’s list of the top places to keep cool in the Tredyffrin and Easttown townships and nearby:

1. Libraries: Tredyffrin, Easttown and Paoli libraries all offer air conditioning. Tredyffrin and Easttown are larger and have more space available for reading or working.
2. Grocery Stores: Now’s a good time to take your time getting some groceries, walking the aisles in the air conditioning and enjoying the refrigerated section. Have you been to the Paoli Acme or Devon Acme lately? How about Whole Foods Markets or the Berwyn Pathmark? Other nearby options are Malvern Wegmans or King of Prussia Wegmans.
3. Go See a Movie: Movie theaters are nicely air conditioned and you can spend a few hours enjoying a movie while keeping cool. The Anthony Wayne and Regal Cinemas in King of Prussia are your closest options.The Mall: Have you been to the King of Prussia Mall lately? It’s big, nicely air conditioned. You can shop if you want or just walk around looking at the sights. It has a small indoor playground in the court by Pottery Barn Kids.
4. A Pool: Do you have a friend with a pool or maybe you belong to the Upper Main Line YMCA or another swim club? Either way, the water is a great place to keep cool.
