- arubaphilKinnelon, NJ587 contributionsThe Grounds for Sculpture is 42 acres of beautiful gardens, sculpture and lifelike statues of people in lifelike tableaus. The sculptures are a mix of small and large, traditional and modern, famous works of art and tableaus of people in daily life settings and famous artists painting their surroundings. The day requires a lot of walking, but the paths are easy to manage. Other on-site features are a visitor and information center, ceramics building, museum, casual cafe, and gift shop. Additionally, Rat's, a beautiful contemporary French restaurant is also located on the grounds. The gardens are a great way to spend a few hours exploring nature and art.Written May 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DoctorM-SquaredWashington DC, DC34 contributionsThere is no way you should ever be bored in this area of the planet. There is something for everyone in your group, young, old, in between, active, sedentary, or even wheelchair-bound. There are a lot of mom and pop type shops on restaurants. I found it enjoyable and relaxing. A great place to run, too.Written March 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maddy HGreater London, UK56 contributionsThis was a fun way to spend a couple of hours. It’s more aimed at kids, but we really enjoyed the 3d shows.

- Carol KGlenshaw, PA2 contributionsThe Penn State Master Gardener maintained gardens on the corner with the war memorial on Babcock Blvd. are a beautiful and educational place to visit, the expanded pollinator garden has its own special vibe and is located next to the new meadow area with a hill to climb, if so inclined, to see better the view of the gardens and North Park lake. Many wedding and wildlife, flower photos have been taken at this site, so this is great for anyone interested in photography !Written September 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeff G6 contributionsHave been here several times over the many years. It is a good and a fun zoo. There are lots of animals that you might not see in the wild around here and also the animals appear healthy (in general) and well cared for.
There are plenty of places to sit, plenty of places to learn even a cafeteria.Written April 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WendyNew Jersey103 contributionsDuke Farms is our favorite local park. The numerous trails and water features make for a great day of exploration. True, the Duke house is long gone, but much of the history remains. Over the years I have been somewhat disappointed with features that have been eliminated - tram tours and closed on Sundays and Mondays- or left to deteriorate - Orchid house. Fall and Winter Saturdays are a special treat with little to no crowds. The bike rentals are terrific!Written February 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
