Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania
Known For
Century-old trees standing alongside meticulously designed garden rooms
Morris Arboretum & Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania is one of those great-for-photos institutions that actually earns every image taken of it. Centuries-old trees and cozy nook garden rooms make it feel more like a world than a collection.
🕐Best time to visit: mid-April when the cherry canopy is fully open overhead
Our Take
Morris Arboretum's hidden-gem reputation is well-earned despite being a Penn institution — the grounds are layered enough that repeat visits still turn up new corners and photo moments. It sits confidently in solid charming spot territory, with nearly 3,000 reviews confirming it over-delivers on expectations.
