What a lovely place to visit. Unlike Longwood gardens that has more formal flower displays, the arboretum here provides a gentle and serene landscape of mostly trees and meadows. There is a rose garden area and some really neat waterscapes. Wait for your children to find a niche in the arboretum they love most and then just sit back and... More

Once you can get past the somewhat inefficient staff at the front gate, you're in for quite a treat. There is plenty to do and see at the arboretum for the entire family. We did a family trip there and all the kids and adults enjoyed the beauty of what it had to offer. Definitely a way to learn about... More

Had a great time with our 3 year old twins! So much to see and do - all the touch tanks were amazing, and the shark tunnel was really great. We'll certainly go again next time we're in Philly.

My daughter and grandson and I went to the Arboretum near the end of April, a perfect time to go. The flowers were all in bloom, the weather was gorgeous. Took the stroller, the walk was fine, up and down hills, even pushing a toddler. Lots of fun things for him to see, statues, the treehouse, and especially the Big... More

Me and my husband visited Morris Arboretum at the end of April and there were many trees in bloom and specially magnolias were gorgeous! We spend half of the day there and we saw the whole gardens and attraction there. For me was very interesting the Big bugs exhibit which will be in Morris Arboretum till the end of May... More

I've been to Morris Arboretum often since I live fairly close. It may not be Longwood Gardens but it is well kept and the Greenhouse was built new in the last decade. After seeing this beautiful acres and acres Botanical Arboretum, lunch much better in Chestnut Hill....and a walk down the Avenue. I wouldn't recommend lunch at Arboretum.

Spent a pleasant morning at the Morris for a special program featuring Japanese Drummers and a demo of Zen Archery. It was a beautiful day with the plant and trees just beginning to bloom. It was very enjoyable and interesting. Very expensive. I wouldn't go there without the special events. Twenty eight dollars [senior rate] for two is not worth... More

During another long weekend trip to explore Philadelphia, we decided to venture out of the historical area. We didn't come by car, so we looked into public transit and discovered that SEPTA offers one-day individual ($11) and family ($28) Independence Passes for unlimited travel on SEPTA trains, subways and buses all around the area. Upon arrival by train, we made... More

167 acres of pure beauty. Lots of paths and plenty of benches if you want to just sit and admire nature. Great play areas and climbing sculptures for children. Not a lot in bloom yet(AP 14th...another week or two and I am sure it will be quite a display ) but still pretty awesome. I plan to visit several times... More
