They have a walking path through the woods with a natural playground and sandbox, a bird house building to watch and interactive displays, a mini zoo inside a house with small animals and activities including a treehouse. They also have weekly activities and seasonal events for elementary school kids.

A nature center/museum and I don't have to do the…read moredrive downtown/pay for parking...and admission is free for Abington residents/friends of Briar Bush? Amazing. (Admission otherwise is only $3 for adults and $2 for kids 2-17). There's animals/insects inside such as owls, huge cockroaches, giant turtle, snakes. And a cute reading corner full of nature books. There's also a discovery den AKA play area indoors for $1. There's animals/insects outdoors such as turkey vultures, turtles, a butterfly house and a bird observatory (cute on the inside with toys for the kiddos - be sure to read the story about the couple who opened the center). And a natural playscape outdoors. There's also a bunch of fairy houses throughout the property that girl scouts donated. And lots of trails through the forest. They also have Magic Mornings for ages 2-4 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - but register ahead as they only have a certain amount of spots each day (it's seasonal - they have in fall and spring but not summer - see website). It's an hour class for $10 and includes a snack, craft, nature walk etc. They usually pull out an animal each class. It's great to get some time in nature with other kids. In summer, they have a full week of Magic Mornings in their Itty Bitty Briar Camp. Ms. Heidi teaches it and she is just great. They have a different theme every day such as sun, water, clouds etc and there's an activity each day (visit pond and catch tadpoles, water play, craft pertaining to theme). They have preschool pioneers for ages 4-5 and summer camp for older kids for a week in late June. *Just beware in June that parking is limited due to school field trips and you may not fit in either of the lots; you may have to park out front of the house to the left (which is fine - she just doesn't want buses idling there) They also have field trips to gardens and to the shore, classes for seniors, family nature nights, hot smores nights... Only negative (besides parking, which they can't really control), is the "snacks" for kids at Magic Mornings aren't the healthiest. One was cinnamon sugar graham crackers with whipped cream- regular would have been fine. 2 days were cheddar gold fish. Another day was blue jello with whipped cream. And some red licorice - the kind that whips. Fruit Loops were used for colors. So, if you don't like your child eating sugar, let them know you have a dietary restriction or bring your own snack (snack time is ~10 min and probably not needed but the kids always love snack time!). Some options that would be healthier and just as easy would be pretzel sticks, fruit, crackers, popcorn, veggies, string cheese...but I guess those all cost more besides pretzels/crackers/popcorn.

Highly recommend!…read more Took my 11 year old and she loved it. The video game room was definitely one of our favorites. She destroyed me Weekend tickets are a little pricey, it was $115 for the 3 of us. Go on a weekday and save a few dollars if you can. The place is definitely aimed at children but you can take some cool pictures. And if you're into "sensory stuff" you will definitely enjoy yourself. You can touch pretty much everything.

You could easily spend two to three hours exploring all the details of the many different rooms. You will definitely come away with some cool pictures. It is a bit pricey, expect to pay around $140 for a family of four. They charge $3 extra per pair of glasses that enhance the effects. I'd recommend saving money and only buying one or two pairs for a family or group. You won't want to wear them full time anyway and can just take turns viewing specific exhibits with the glasses on. They also offer military discount. Like others have said, the staff doesn't really explain how to do the puzzle. We didn't end up doing it but, but it seems to be some clues hidden in each room to solve a mystery such as reading the Mayor's emails on the computer on his desk. Its like walking through an old school point and click computer game and finding clues. Other World is definitely fun experience for kids and adults. Its expensive but worth trying once. I am not sure why people would get annual passes but they sell them.

The tram moved at a nice pace so you could really take in everything. So much to see - everywhere. It was a really fun way to spend a few hours on a rainy day! But I urge you to visit rain or shine!

There were fact-filled notices at the exhibits that explained well the origins of the Stooges, their interactions with Hollywood stars, their lifestyles and health challenges, and much more. Highly recommended for Stooges fans. Even those with a passing interest in them should find a lot to like.

We love Morris so much that we joined their membership program a few years back; it's a membership that we keep active. The community programming is a nice add, and we've even picnicked here once. We appreciate the nods to the community (e.g., the scaled down Chestnut Hill West SEPTA stop), and the areas of Morris that speak to all members of the family. We'll definitely be back.

The history of the mansion traces back to the original settlers who came to Philadelphia with William Penn. The owners of the house were heavily involved in trade with China, India, Japan, England, and every other corner of the world. The front rooms, which is the first section in the museum, demonstrate how the original flavor of the mansion and its owners. Collective, decorative arts are everywhere from everywhere in the world. They might not contain much artistic value, but definitely exotic and contain rich history and culture. The Asian gallery is magnificent as you see a giant Buddha statue that would only exist in national museums. There are rare samurai suits and armors from Japan, exquisite ivory carvings from Indian, delicate religious collectibles from China, and stunning artifacts from all over Asia. The second floor contains all kinds of artifacts from English as well as other parts of the world. The family was evidently fond of their pets, especially dogs and horses. There are paintings of horse and dogs throughout the museum. There is even a pet cemetery in front of the house. If you're in the area, please check this historical gem out. You will not regret it.

There are a few things to know before you go: I didn't see any ADA accessibility. There are three floors in the museum that require you to walk up steps. The steps are narrow, but there is railing.

Space can be limited if you are a part of a large group, so be prepared for that. Overall, I loved my visit and would visit again.

The mansion is pure magic. Even if all you did was exchange vows beside a potted plant by the river, with this historic estate as your backdrop, it would still feel like a dream come true. But Glen Foerd offers so much more than a picturesque setting--it delivers a full-scale event that's flawlessly orchestrated. With Jamie Hollander overseeing planning, catering, and coordination, every detail of the day was handled with precision and care. You're not just booking a venue--you're placing your trust in seasoned professionals who treat your celebration like their own. We were fortunate to work with Kelly Mahoney as our Event Planner and Niyah (whose last name I regret not knowing) as our Day-of Coordinator. Their expertise, warmth, and dedication were unmatched. As someone who's worked in the hospitality industry for years, I can confidently say I've never had a more positive experience. If you're reading this, take my advice: visit Glen Foerd. Step inside its breathtaking walls and you'll be transported to another era--one where elegance reigns and every moment feels timeless.
