So disappointed as I received a 2020 gift membership, was never able to go and when I called in 2021 they would not extend the membership. With the pandemic through most of 2020 I am very mad that they could not extend. This was a $70 membership for nothing!
I will renew my membership at Longwood as they extended my membership by 6 months!

My wife & I have been members of Longwood for several years but decided to go to Chanticleer with friends. Overall, I actually found Chanticleer to be more pleasing. I saw more unusual flowers & plants in that one visit than I have ever seen in a single day. The only drawback is that you need to pick a good weather day reservation in advance - we were lucky. Everything is very well maintained and various flowers & colors are placed in excellent fashion. We really want to return and allow more time. The staff is very easy to interact and ask questions. Lots of places to just sit, relax and take in the beauty.

Our friends, Cindy and Arash, introduced this hidden to us. My wife remarked, "How have I lived in this area for 23 years and never been here?!" It's magnificent. It's so relaxing to walk around and look at the beautiful grounds with flowers, trees, plants, etc. There are plenty of spots to sit and contemplate the beauty. They even have a garden that produces food for employees and local pantries for those in need. Admission is reasonable as you can spend as long as you wish. We're going to by an annual pass, so we can pop in for picnics and for recharging our batteries after work.

Loved everything about it. This is a very laid back day, walking through the property experiencing different gardens, very well planned. A large variety of plants and flowers, chairs in various locations to just sit and relax as we observed a lot of people enjoying picnics on the grounds. We've been to Longwood Gardens, which is beautiful as well, but a more "formal" feeling.

Beautiful property, lovely gardens and landscaping. I couldn't stop taking pictures.
The walk around the loop is about a mile, both down and up hill, but the path was hard packed and easy to walk. Plenty of benches and chairs to sit and chill.

This is a beautiful set of 7 garden areas. You walk about 1/2 to 3/4 mile around a path. It is slightly down and uphill, so if walking is an issue, take rests at the many benches. The area is very well maintained and the staff is helpful and courteous.

We went on July 4. The garden has an incredible degree of attention to detail. It is perfectly cared for, I barely saw a weed any place on the entire property. Incredibly planned and laid out. We took roughly 2 hours to walk around it. A great experience.

I have lived nearby for a long time and never found time to visit. I am sorry I only just found out. What an amazing collection of flowers and unique plants in a pristine and manicured environment. This place is a beautiful oasis in a crazy world.

A beautiful garden to walk, sit, and get away from life for awhile. Many places to sit, lots of paths to walk. I have been a member for many years because I love this place. Come once or get a membership and come as often as you like.

We enjoyed this gorgeous garden but would have appreciated a clearer map, more signage, and more seating on main trails. My little granddaughter aged 3 loved the elevated walkway, the tiny house, the koi, and the stepping stones on the stream. Staff feeding the koi ignored a question she asked and I'm sure she would have liked to hear about what the fish and turtles ate and some facts about them. However, this is a wonderful garden and well worth a visit. My daughter and her family plan to go again soon.

There are tables available in several places in the garden. I would say total they have about 15 tables in 3 locations.

Yes but paths are steep for wheelchairs and scooters. Staff will transport some visitors with a golf cart.

I realize the gardens close at 5pm, but if I'm already there, can I stay past 5 pm? Or do I need to leave the grounds at 5pm?

No. And I believe no food or drink is permitted in the gardens at all. You can call them and ask any questions you have.

Are the gardens wheelchair assessable in all parts? I require a wheelchair if I stand or walk over a certain amount of time. If not, are there benches to rest on during a walk through the gardens?

I imagine that a heavy duty wheelchair might work, but there are a lot of slopes and unpaved trails. There is also an entire area that is in stairs. You can access parts of the garden on a wheelchair, it's a big place so you might have to walk some of the areas. Others will be inaccesible. The staff is very friendly so give them a call in advance.

No. But I'd wear comfortable walking shoes. There is a paved path, it is a good 1-2 mile walk around property.

Would it be a good trip for children and would I be able to bring a stroller through the gardens?

Yes to both questions - lots of room to roam for kids and strollers.

When is the best time to visit? Time of year? Time of day to avoid bus crowds?
Louise D
King of Prussia, PA29 contributions
I have been there spring, summer and fall. Even if it rains, there are areas of trees that you can escape. There is also areas to avoid hot sun. All the gardens within the garden are inherent to themselves and there is always something to admire. Time of day, I prefer morning...
