Less than an hour and a half away from downtown Philadelphia, Allentown’s Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is a popular nearby amusement and water park. Ride on the eight roller coasters (including the ninth longest steel roller coaster in the world!), enjoy the dozens of carnival-themed rides and cool down as you slide down the 22 water slides into pools of water recreation fun.
Set aside some time to visit the oldest surviving botanical garden in the United States. Bartram’s Garden covers 46 acres in Fairmount Park, and is open to the public for free admission. Try taking a tour inside the historic garden area (the original 8-acre garden begun in 1728), the historic stone house, through the elaborate grove and the largest variety of North American plants in the world.
Visit Philly’s premier entertainment venue for live theater, the Forrest Theatre. Since 1927, Forrest has been the most popular destination in Philadelphia for touring Broadway plays and musicals. You may even discover the newest hit before everyone else! Forrest often serves as a proving ground for many shows before moving on to Broadway.
Travel across the globe when you enter Shofuso, also known as the Japanese House and Garden, located in Fairmount’s West Park. Leftover from the 1876 Centennial Exposition, this 17th century-style Japanese house and garden represents friendship between the US and Japan. Guests are welcome to find tranquility in the elaborate garden, koi pond and teahouse as well as participate in Shofuso’s festivals and events.
