Although not wildly popular in the United States, polo is a history-rich sport that dates back to the ancient Persian Empire. That said, Brandywine Polo Club in Kennett Square hosts the upcoming finals match of the Gerald Balding Polo Tournament, an excellent excuse for a midweek family night. Sports lovers in your crew will enjoy this fast-paced, competitive spectator sport, while all of your family members are bound to be bedazzled by the beauty of the horses. A picnic meal is ideal for this pastoral setting in the Brandywine Valley, and families often choose to tailgate in the parking area before and during the match. Children 12 and under are free, which makes this day out absolutely affordable. Match times will soon be listed on the club’s Web site.
