莫里斯植物园

My husband of 54 years and I walked the arboretum almost 60 years ago. We haven't been back since and now it will be harder to navigate, but we look forward to our return. Perhaps next spring.

Morris had something for everyone. When my kids were little ( 25 some years ago) we were here weekly wondering the paths and running across the fields and exploring the statues and gardens. Now my grandchildren visit the tree house, the oak allee and the trains. So much has changed and do much has stayed the same

Will still smell as sweet but you absolutely MUST check out the rose garden here. Morris Arboretum is beautiful & immaculately maintained. Flowers, trees & shrubs are beautiful. Some of my favorite places are 1) rose garden, 2) the pavillion with the swans, 3) there are trees that the branches hang low it's a little hide out & 4) the cabins (even if you can't go inside).

Our family (of three generations) enjoy this easy-walking park. The kiddies love to revisit the permanent (actvities) and experience the special exhibits throughout the arboretum (whether they are benches, insects, or trains). We have visited during different seasons of the year and have never been disappointed.

I went to the Morris Arboretum on a whim on a warm October afternoon with my 14 year old sister, and we absolutely loved it. It's like a visit to the Victorian era in the old rose garden, and the green house feels like a visit to a little Jurassic Park (complete with little dinosaur figurines!). The entire estate is picturesque to say the least. We were also lucky enough to catch the Scarecrow Festival which was very cute! Overall, it's a fantastic nice weather outing.

Visited in winter. It's nice place. There are a lot of nature inspiration staff. I plan to visit rose garden in spring and summer. There is an amusement mini railroad in the garden - good for kids.

a huge arboretum that is more estate-like than expected. Varied offerings plant-wise from exotics to locals. Beautiful trees, nice small hilly areas, well maintained. Good for extended walks, a nice feeling of isolation.

If you have a few hours, this is a great place to walk the trails. It has a wonderful train layout for kids and grown-ups alike. The tree specimens are wonderful, as are the flowers in bloom. It covers quite a lot of land and you can explore much of the sights without retracing your tracks. Allow at least 2 -3 hours to really see the place.

Even on a bitter cold day, we had a great time seeing the trains and how they were decorated for the holidays--such lovely attention to details. We didn't even have little kids--all the adults were enchanted with it. Beautiful and quiet in winter walking the entire grounds. Also love seeing the swan sisters so peaceful and serene on the pond.

We went to see the Christmas lights and it was very nice. The flowers and plants are absolutely beautiful.

The herb gardens are beautiful and rare. They look really natural and are well taken care of. The gift shop has nice sticking stuffers.

You can wander, but take the tour with a docent or tour guide to really get the most on the history and context of the installations. Then wander on your own.

We were just there with our 5 and 3 year old grandkids to see the trains. It is really a great show. It was cold outside, so we didn't stay long, but we all enjoyed it. The 'Tree Adventure' was closed when we were there, but that and other features would be worth it on a nice day.

We love it. We went there a couple of times there though it is quite a trip for us. Beautiful, neatly organized with various activities. And the train exhibit is outstanding. Our whole family enjoys it.

Our daughter requested that we accompany her and our 4 year old grandson on a visit to the Morris Arboretum. We were greeted warmly and helped to select a membership in the reception area and gift shop. The staff was knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed strolling among the many varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers there. A special treat for our grandson was the model railroad that covered quite an extensive terraced area of the park. We were also impressed by the wildlife sanctuary and viewing platform. One area involved stepping on a wooden platform held together by ropes. Since it moved with the shifting weight, our grandson took a pass on it, though he enjoyed looking through the windows by the bench. He's an avid reader, so he studied the names of the various plants and trees, which were clearly identified. There are ample benches and shade available for relaxing and taking in the view. We saw quite a number of other families with children ranging in age from infants to preadolescents. We highly recommend this historic and excellent arboretum for nature lovers who seek some respite from the city. As with many places in Philadelphia, it's hard to believe that you're so close to a big city when you're in the middle of the greenery here.
