Actually, Longwood is good to visit all year round. Christmas time brings the colored fountains to the tune of various Christmas melodies and the lights on all the trees is mesmerizing. The conservatory is warm and absolutely amazing with the different fauna and flowers. The outside grounds during the warmer months is filled with color as the various blooms explode! Well worth visiting. Plan several hours to take it all in.
Beautiful gardens in the conservatory, we went in the winter so the gardens outside were in winter mode. Still lots to see and explore. The house and the tree houses were a neat place to wonder through. I would highly recommend going in the summer when everything is planted, but if like us you can only visit in the winter still very worth it the conservatory is stunning. We do not have kids but the childrens garden in the conservatory was so cool and fun, high light of the visit.
Amazing! I had not been in many years and a visit inDecember and another in March have made me realize what a treasure these gardens and conservatory are! The displays change five times a year, orchids reign in the cold of winter,bulbs for spring,fountains and fireworks in the summer,chrysanthemums for fall and stunning Christmas, indoors and out! A good place for kids too,plenty of room for running around and programs geared towards them! Just don't pick the flowers!
花园和宽敞的温室真的超赞。你可以在那里呆上大半天却不加察觉。这里和温特图尔(Winterthur)花园不太一样,因为这里更加正式,而温特图尔花园好像更基于本土能自然生长的植物。(温特图尔和朗伍德(Longwood)都从很远的地方引进了一些植物,不过在朗伍德你会觉得这些植物更你通常看到的生长方式、生长位置不太一样。)可以去两处看看,比较一下。
One trip and my family realized this should be a yearly tradition - what a beautiful combination of flowers and Christmas inside and out!
我以为十月中旬的时候树叶已经都变成金黄的了,但显然今年会晚一些。和夏天来的时候区别不大,只是小孩子坐的火车稍显不同。去了餐厅,花了62元买了两个冰激凌,漫天要价。几个周我们还会再来参加菊花节的。
最近花了3个小时逛了花园,觉得很惬意。花园里费城市区大约45分钟的车程,比较好找。如果用GPS的话,先上网找好地点吧,然后选择附近的地址,导航不识别花园的地址。不用事先预约去的。不过餐厅要排队,食物很好吃的。
Being married 37+ years I tend to take life and my wife for granted at times. Well I decided to fix that at least on Valentine's Day. I decided to surprise my wife on Valentine's day with a date. After convincing my wife we were going on a surprise date we started driving towards Philadelphia . After a answering 1,000 question on where we were going I broke down and told here Longwood Gardens to see the Orchid display. After arriving at the parking area we entered the gift shop and ticketing building and then made the chilly walk to the Conservatory. We had never been to Longwood and even in the winter the grounds are beautiful. As we entered the Conservatory it was like walking into a different world. It was beautiful with a capital B. We spent the next two hours walking through the Conservatory taking pictures and looking at the lovely flowers and plants, especially the orchids. As we were leaving it started snowing giving yet another picture perfect look to the grounds. What a great Valentine Day date. We will be back in the summer .
wonderful garden setting even in winter. Only the indoor setting was available. It was snowing outside. Such beauty must be seen.
Longwood Gardens is a beautiful place at any time of the year. I've been there in winter, spring, summer, and fall. The firework and fountain shows in the summer are spectacular, the Christmas lights are pretty, the tulips in the spring are beautiful, and the fall colors are great. Nothing bad to say about this place :)
