The Morris Arboretum has a significant plant collection representing 2,500 different species from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Guests can visit a free-standing octagonal fernery, Japanese- and English-style gardens and a metal walkway called Out on a Limb where guests can see the trees up-close.
In addition to serving as the official arboretum for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the estate on which it sits is also known for its model railroad, decorative fountains and sculptures, and Swan Pond, a small man-made lake. The visitor center has a gift shop and seasonal cafe as well as restrooms for guests of the arboretum.
