I am a member of this arboretum and it is a wonderful place for first timers as well. It covers a large area. The tree houses that were placed in the natural setting several years ago has really made a go of things. Its like a scavenger hunt that provides activity for children to keep moving to see what is... More

This arboretum is just lovely. A very fun family outing. Visit when the treehouses are open. They are scattered throughout the property and a joy to discover as you move along. Kids will enjoy climbing up though each one. All are so different. Lots of other kid- friendly activities too. This makes for a perfect mini adventure in the summer.... More

Had the opportunity to visit this great place yesterday with a school tour. I am hooked! The grounds are gorgeous, well maintained, and encompass 650 acres. There are formal gardens, over 28 miles of hiking trails of all levels, and guided walks many times throughout the week. Some of the trails are described as ADA compliant. The entry is $9... More

You Don't Need To Be A Member to Enjoy the Tyler Arboretum, BUT once you visit you will see that you will want to return again and again. Plant sales and educational seminars are only a couple of interesting offerings that are provided at the Tyler Arboretum. Take a hike and be amazed at the variety of plant species that... More

There are nice trails- alittle difficult to navigate without a map. There are nature classes offered and a small gift shop. Dogs aren't permitted- boo hiss.

I visited for the 1st time in October '12 during the "Pumpkin Days" event. Brought my kids ages 6 & 7, they didn't want to leave! They enjoyed all the tree houses so much, we ended up spending 4 hours there. On my way out, I decided to become a member. Planning to visit again soon.

Great place to go for a walk, or a 10K every April! They also have great events for children and adults. My wife and I have done the wine and chocolate tasting - very nice and laid back. The Delco Road Runners 10K run every April tops it all - great run!

Tyler Arboretum is an old area favorite and the grounds are well kept. If you are looking for a nice, peaceful walk, this is the place. It is a good natural setting, but not exceptional. Maybe it is because the Philadelphia area has so many nice gardens and nature reserves that compete with it.

Tyler is a beautiful arboretum that borders Ridley Creek State Park. Very wide variety of trees, shrubs and other plants with nice walking trails throughout. Check out their native plant sale in the Spring!
