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. ## Similar picks in Philadelphia - [Holiday Garden Railway at Morris Arboretum](https://grassyknees.com/philadelphia/activities/holiday-garden-railway-at-morris-arboretum--listing-dd6afce604ca7afb5f0837f9) — Nov 21 – Jan 10 · 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM · Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania · All ages · From $20 · checked Nov 7.
