The Morris Arboretum, Philadelphia

For those who love fauna and flora, magnificent landscapes and unique sculptures, The Morris Arboretum in 100 E. Northwestern Avenue, Philadelphia is just the place to go visiting in a rented bus – any time, any day. Well, almost any time and any day, because the place is closed on New Year’s, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas days. Not only is this place a favorite place to go for those who love trees and plants, it is also an awesome place for those who love photography to go for great shots of Mother Nature in its splendor. In fact, it is also a perfect place to have wedding photos too.

The Morris Arboretum is open daily from 10am till 4pm, but in the months of April right through to October, they are open until 5pm on weekends while in the months of June until August, they are open as usual but will remain open until 8.30pm on Thursdays. Hence, depending on the day and time that you would like to arrange to visit this place, you need to plan ahead of time if you are intend to go there in a Philadelphia rental bus.

When you go to The Morris Arboretum in a PA rented bus, you can expect to spend at least a few hours there – touring and stopping to admire the beauty of the flowers, plants and the landscapes there as well as enjoying a cup of coffee or tea at the cafĂ© there. The rose garden flourishes best in the month of June (but you will still get to see a lot of beautiful roses when you visit during the other months) and the unique railroad garden is a definite must-see when you are here. This place is very well maintained and taken care of so if your kids like to roam and run around, there is no need for you to worry that they may accidentally step on a broken glass and hurt themselves. The plants and trees are labeled so that visitors will get to learn about what they are looking at. And whether you are a professional or amateur photographer, you can truly put your skills to the test with all the beauty of nature that is around you. You may even find yourself so engrossed in taking photos that by the time you look at your watch, it could be already a few hours already! A visit to The Morris Arboretum almost always make PA rented bus passengers appreciate the outdoors more than they did before they went.
