Overview
Escape to a botanical paradise in the heart of Philadelphia and enjoy lush flower displays, plants from across the globe, and fountain shows (operate Spring-early Fall).
Longwood Gardens is not just a pretty place, it's made significant contributions to the study of plants and the infinite potential they have to offer - so you'll learn loads about horticulture and plant sciences.
Climb up into a tucked-away treehouse to get a squirrel’s-eye-view of the surrounding landscape. Take snaps of the creative shrubbery in the topiary garden. And, relax and enjoy a fountain display in the Italian Water Garden.

Good place to get your steps in
Anonymous ·Pretty gardens. We visited the gardens after 5pm and we were lucky to stay for the magnificent fountain illumination show. I also love the water lilies and the landscape. Check out the fine dining if time allows.
Awesome Experience:)
Enjoyed a lot with family with young kids. Spent whole day. Night fountain show was awesome.
Wished we had more time
Sarah ·Surprised that Longwood Gardens was included, especially since it's far from Philly and requires a car to get there. With only 2 hours allocated for our visit, we skimmed through only half of the entire property and were fortunate enough to catch the morning fountain show. Don't miss the Children's Garden in the Conservatory District.
Super
Jeff ·great place. wonderful experience. Will go back again.
