Longwood Gardens

An unexpected suprise in a suburb of Philadelphia, Longwood Gardens boasts DuPont family history and horticultural excellence. Wear your walking shoes to follow the many pathways throughout the Gardens. If you have children, it's a good idea to bring a stroller. Wheelchairs are available in the main lobby as needed. The jewel of the Gardens is the Conservatory, where each season is celebrated in natural splendor. Bring your camera. You'll find it difficult to take a bad snapshot in such a lovely setting. At Christmastime, the Conservatory is decked out in its finest, including several very tall Christmas trees. During certain hours you can sing carols to a well-tuned antique pipe organ. A few steps away from the Conservatory is the Terrace Restaurant which serves fairly upscale meals. The cafeteria provides good casual fare. Visiting Longwood Gardens is a must for anyone touring Southeastern Pennsylvania!
