This 92-acre public garden is populated with rare, exotic and large trees presented in four different environments: The English Park, Rose Garden, Swan Pond and Japanese Garden all offer a multitude of species and phylum of plants specific to each area. The generally Victorian tone of the gardens radiates a sense of romance and natural splendor. University of Pennsylvania students conduct botanical experiments and studies that are also on display.

tripadvisorI’ve been a member for one year and have more than made up the cost of membership. I enjoy every visit and and constantly surprised by the colors, smells, and emotions of such a beautiful place.
MoreMorris Arboretum is a relaxing space to spend a couple hours, with its sculptures, flower gardens, woodland paths, water features, and even an outdoor train garden. The paths are well-paved, and its 92 acres provide enough room you never feel crowded. The adult admission of $22 is a bit pricey, but I felt I was donating to conservation.
MoreWe had such a good time walking the grounds today. Paths are well marked as to whether they are wheelchair accessible. You'll find shady paths, lots of benches and places to get water. The welcome center does sell drinks. The train display is so charming, it's almost magical.
Morethis place was very incredible and not only that it also was spectacular
MoreI love a botanical garden and this is a good one. They have a lot going on - a grove of dawn redwoods, the last remaining freestanding Victorian fernery in the US, a wetlands, pollinator gardens, a short canopy walk where you can lie in a net and look up at the canopy or down at the forest floor, a willow walk, a rose garden, a swan pond with a pair of sister swans, an outdoor miniature train display with multiple trains as well as sculptures of out of the ordinary pollinators like bats and yucca moths, etc. The plantings are beautiful. A lot of people seemed to bring their toddlers there, which makes sense - room to run, the canopy net, the trains. There was also a wedding there while we were there. The fernery was a standout. I also usually don't care for rose gardens, but they had so much other stuff planted there, it was gorgeous. The estate was originally owned by a Quaker brother and sister - the brother was a plant collector, so there is historical interest as well, including an old spring house.
