Experience Beauty
Color in every season, majestic trees, magnificent horticultural displays, and a world-class rose garden make the Morris Arboretum one of Philadelphia’s premier outdoor destinations.

Experience Fun
Follow the trains over bridges and trestles at the Garden Railway display. Opening summer 2009, soar into the trees on a spectacular 40-foot high walkway on Out on a Limb – a Tree Adventure exhibit. Enjoy family events all year long!
