About this adventure
Nestled in Chestnut Hill, Morris Arboretum & Gardens serves as the official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Spanning 92 acres of Victorian landscape gardening, the arboretum is especially peaceful in winter, showcasing magnificent bark textures, evergreens, conifers, and early-blooming witch hazels. The grounds are almost entirely paved and stroller-friendly. Kids adore the permanent 'Out on a Limb' canopy walk, where a boardwalk extends 50 feet into the treetops with a giant suspended bird's nest and netting to play on. The arboretum hosts monthly Winter Wellness family walks at an easy, self-directed pace. Toddlers two and under receive free admission.
