Explore the Morris Arboretum’s lush tree-lined paths and bright, colorful gardens. With more than 13,000 labeled plants representing over 2,500 different species, it is no surprise that the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is the official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. See horticulture from North America, Europe and Asia all together in one outdoor venue.
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! You’re not in the Land of Oz, you’re entering the World of the Philadelphia Zoo. The first zoo in the United States, the Philadelphia Zoo remains one of the premier zoos in the world especially for endangered animals. See everything from big cats and primates to exotic birds and reptiles throughout the exhibits and attractions here.
About and hour and half away from Philly is Bushkill Park, a smaller, family-friendly amusement park perfect for children. Historic Bushkill Park is famous for its antique rides, such as bumper cars, and has one of the oldest funhouses in the world. The park is currently undergoing some renovation but a revival is expected, especially after the park was featured on American Pickers.
