Kids To Do: Travel to Great Britain with two UK-themed events

Painted Bride Art Center (230 Vine St.)
5 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday, $20; $15 students.

It's fun to visit the zoo or the children's museum with the little ones, but it's also good to make time just for the older kids, who won't be kids much longer.

For ages 14 and older, the invaluable presenting organization PAPAYA (PA Performing Arts for Young Audiences) offers New International Encounter's The End of Everything Ever, based on true stories of the Kindertransport, the informal rescue effort which brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1940.

In the antic musical, a six-year-old girl is put on a train, but nervously chews up the tag bearing her name and address, and the world starts to look more difficult and foreboding.

Schuylkill Valley Model Railway Club (400 S. Main St. Phoenixville)
1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, free.

It's closing weekend of the Schuylkill Valley Model Railway Display, with four different HO scale railroads running on 700 feet of track in a layout that's over 1,000 square feet. Buttons give kids can get a chance to bring the scenes to life.

Bryn Mawr Film Institute (824 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr)
11 a.m. Saturday, $5, $4 ages 12 and under.

The 2014 film Paddington adapts Michael Bond's 1958 book about a Peruvian bear who voyages to London, where he is adopted by a family despite his penchant for inadvertently causing mayhem (see why kids -- and some adults -- identify with him?). Hugh Bonneville of Downton Abbey fame stars as the dad, with Nicole Kidman as an evil taxidermist with designs on the ursine visitor. As that may indicate, small fry might find the many moments of danger the little bear faces to be a bit too intense. Caution.
