Longwood Gardens are absolutely incredible and far exceeded our expectations. Longwood had been recommended to us by many friends as the "best" botanical garden in the nation, so we visited with high expectations. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Longwood. Plan to spend an ENTIRE day there -- to see it all takes that long. There are grand scale... more

Well worth visiting! Their hand-blown glass pumpkins (see pictures of the display) are breathtaking! As it is everything else. Quite peaceful and suiting environment. more

Having never been to Longwood, we were quite taken with the beauty of the gardens and the ingenuity of the treehouses which were on display while we visitied (October, 2008). it wasn't far from Lancaster, PA which is where we were staying and the trip was definitely worth it. We spent 5 hours there and didn't get to see it... more

Great day trip from Philly or NJ! My 2 year old loved all of it especially the unique children's garden! Hot on a summer day though so bring plenty of water bottles! more

I went to the gardens in early May just as everything was blooming. The most spectacular wisteria trees I've ever seen. The gardens seemed to be endless and then there was the Conservatory which was arrayed of colors. I would highly recommend this garden. The best I have ever seen. more
