Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Philadelphia

Matthias • August 15, 2019I do like the crazy detail with all the sculptures, figures and animals... 👌🏼👏🏼

The Wall Street Journal • August 3, 2014A 9,200-acre park with sweeping landscapes and shattering views. There is a feeling that you are part of a whole, whereas in London, in New York or Shanghai you are only part of a section.

David H. • June 16, 2016It's super crowded but you can't beat the view. Watch out for the 35 or so cars illegally parked in the bike lane right in front. It's a great representation of Philly.

Floyd G. • July 26, 2013Nice clean park. Very calm area to relax.

Nlisah .. • December 25, 2014This place has been a favorite of mines since I was little. The big sliding board has always been such a great attraction. They have remodeled and added more attractions

Ron J. • May 9, 2016Pretty in the daytime , but gorgeous at night. Philly has so much history and this area provides a wonderful lesson plus you have the row teams to watch

Alex L. • August 9, 2022Beautiful & interesting walk through of a traditional Japanese home! An awesome experience, takes about an hour to walk through. For the best experience, come while it’s sunny!

Michael M. • April 17, 2011Love the rivers edge and the bike trails.

Ashley K. • August 15, 2021Nice breeze on roof. Loved the bees knees cocktail

Khara L. • November 24, 2014A small, clean park to take the little ones..

Barb S. • November 25, 2013Visitors get to see this from car or tour bus. I recommend walking back to it and taking time to appreciate the detail of the work. Jeanne d'Arc is one of my favorite historical heroines.

Museum Without Walls • November 9, 2011The Fairmount Park Art Association established and maintains the Ellen Phillips Samuel Memorial. It includes three terraces and seventeen sculptures that were commissioned over a thirty-year period.

John J. • June 29, 2015This is beautiful and especially summer Sunday's when everyone is out cycling, skating, running, etc.
