Four Top Spots to Visit This Fall
Every Autumn, all across the Philadelphia area, leaves begin to turn to vibrant reds, yellow and oranges. To soak up the season and see one of natures greatest shows, you might want to add these four spots to your list of places to visit this fall.
Wissahickon Valley Park
Enjoy the Autumn foliage and breathe in the fresh fall air at one of Philadelphia’s most natural treasures. Wissahickon Valley Park includes over 50 miles of hiking, walking and off road biking trails along side Wissahickon creek. Wissahickon Valley park is also known to be an important birding area, so keep your eyes open for the 10 different species you could see flying around.
Schuylkill River Trail
The Schuylkill River Trail is the perfect place to enjoy a fall walk, run or bike ride while also having a perfect view of the city’s skyline. The twisting path is alongside the Schuylkill River where you can see views of Boat House Row and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Franklin Square
The 7.5-acre space is one of the most refreshing spots to visit this fall. Surprisingly, this is one of five original squares that William Penn laid out in his initial plan of the city in 1682. The fall colors and numerous attractions like mini golf, carousel, story time bench, fountain and picnic area are all reasons why you, your friends and family should visit this beautiful area.
Morris Arboretum
These historical grounds were recently voted by Travel Pulse as one of the five best U.S. gardens to visit. The exhibit that attracts everyone here is known as the Tree Adventure which allows you to get a birds eye view of the forest. To get to the larger than life bird house you need to get your adventure shoes on and cross a swaying bridge then climb the rope net high up into the trees. This garden is complete with a formal rose garden, majestic old trees and unusual plants from North America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
