Summer’s so busy that we often need time for a few hours or an entire day of peace and quiet. While the beach or our favorite water park is the perfect place to cool down and soak up the sun, nature provides an ideal setting for finding that illusive peace and quiet. Embark on a summer stroll through the stunning Chanticleer Garden in Pennsylvania that’s far from the busyness of everyday life.
Less than a half an hour from downtown Philadelphia, Chanticleer Garden has been a favorite destination for Pennsylvanians and visitors since 1993.

Whether you visit once a season or once a week, you’ll likely be drawn back by the tranquility and natural beauty that surrounds you on your summer stroll.

Carve out plenty of time for your visit to Chanticleer Garden, especially if you want to see all of the gardens on your own self-guided tour. If you’re an artist, bring your paint and canvases (on select days), and let nature inspire your next masterpiece.

Wear comfy shoes for your exploration that will include passing a picturesque footbridge in the Asian Woods, tiny waterfalls that drop into a flowing stream in Bell’s Woodland, and…
