Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania - Arboretum in Philadelphia - 100 E Northwestern Ave, USA

Such an absolutely beautiful gem. There is so much to do and see; lots of hidden little surprises and secrets so slow down and take your time exploring and enjoying every nook and cranny. A perfect place to relax by yourself to find serenity, stroll and catch up with friends, and even a romantic date. Ample room to roam and magical touches like fairy villages, with lots of educational plaques scattered throughout makes this a great place to visit with little ones, too. The grounds and flora are so lovingly curated and cared for. Buy your tickets online in advance and arrive early in the morning to make entry a breeze.

Absolutely beautiful! 1½ mile loop with beautiful scenery. A massive train course that the staff and volunteers keep running smoothly. A luscious rose garden. Currently they are building the pumpkin patch right now too. I explored for about 2 hours. It was perfect. I could have stayed longer as well but felt I had a good grasp on it

Beautiful place!! I don't know why I have never visited before but my bf and I really enjoyed it. He even wants to get a membership! We went on a sunday and bought tickets ahead of time. Getting in was no problem and there was plenty of parking. The grounds were massive and it wasn't overly crowded at all. The arboretum is amazing and clearly a lot of care is taken to maintain it. My favorites were the redwoods, the swans, and a little butterfly area among the flowers. Would def recommend to others and we will be back.

Excellent arboretum with a wide variety of things to see and do. Model trains and an elevated platform in the trees to pleasant walks among gardens and open grasslands. Indoor areas have ferns and other flora. Really nice for walks with accessible parking, vending and indoor areas to shelter from the weather. Suitable for all ages and interests - recommended if you enjoy curated outdoor spaces.

This is near my house, and I've been coming here for about 30 years. It gets better every year. For kids, the hobby railroad is extraordinary, the treehouse is too. But the trees and the gardens are the real reason to come... If you are ever in Chestnut Hill, go there!

Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania is a beautiful area to explore near Philadelphia, PA. The grounds are quite expansive and display a variety of plants and garden styles. You could easily spend several hours venturing through the 92- acre historic area. The only downside I would say is the pricing now at $20! I think, especially since the gardens are on the university grounds, that the pricing should be much more accessible to everyone, but I guess they need to keep it selective somehow.

This was an amazing place. We had come here to do a hike but 3hrs later we were still walking around looking at all the beautiful gardens , the flowers were in full bloom and magnificent. We were speaking with one of the guides, Irv. He explained how Morris Arboretum and gardens came to be and took us for a tour of the enclosed Japanese gardens. Irv made the place come alive!. There was a small gift shop open and the bathrooms are immaculate. The place is meticulously maintained and there is plenty of parking. There is an admission fee but it is well worth it.

I went for the fernery - a greenhouse full of ferns! But they also have many gardens, including one with outdoor sculpture, and a swan pond. Truly a peaceful place you could spend a whole day.
