Anthony M.February 26, 2011The one-year family membership is a steal for the price! Family of 6 here saved on first visit. More times per year is found money.
Make reservations for a sunset dinner at the 1906 restaurant. Arrive two hours before dinner and tour the conversatory as you work up a good appetite.
Rick GarofoloJune 17, 2012Be sure to check out the Bruce Munro exhibit going on now. It was really amazing!
Kelly H.March 20, 2012If you have kids, bring some slices of bread for the fish in the ponds. You won't regret it.
- The Christmas display is amazing every year! Buy timed tickets on the website to avoid ticket lines during the holidays.
Laila MiddletonApril 10, 2012I went for the Orchid season, it was cold and not much life outside but inside was spectacular ! I would go again in an instant.
Regina BabcockJuly 14, 2012The light show is lovely but don't go when it's humid because the walk becomes a dupont death march.
visitPAJuly 16, 2010Today, we understand the importance of environmental conservation. That wasn't so common in 1906, when Pierre du Pont purchased this land to preserve the trees.
Gabriel Del RossiOctober 10, 2011Impressive gardens - especially the Conservatory and the lily-pad ponds.
Christina AdairDecember 5, 2011If you have bad allergies the conservatory may not be the most ideal place for you regardless of the beauty.
If the front doors are locked, allow yourself to face the fact that they close at 5 pm in October.
