Woodmere is an art museum located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has a collection of over 8,000 works of art focused on Philadelphia artists. Charles Knox Smith bequeathed his Woodmere estate and 600 pieces of art to be used as a museum after his death in 1916. The museum was founded in 1940 as the Woodmere Art Gallery with one building, Charles Knox Smith Hall, and six acres of sculpture garden. The museum was significantly expanded in 2025 with the purchase and renovation of the nearby Frances M. Maguire Hall of Art and Education, and four acres of sculpture garden.

The Morris Arboretum features over 13,000 plants of over 2,500 types spread out over 92 acres. Temporate floras of North America, Asia, and Europe are represented here; the Asian floras are represented particularly well. The arboretum was designed in an English park style with Japanese influences.
A stream in southeastern PA which runs about 23 miles. The beauty of this area attracted the attention of local poets like Edgar Allan Poe. The Wissahickon Valley is known as one of 600 National Natural Landmarks of the United States. America's first papermill was set up along this stream. Many locals visit the stream to relax, and you can even feed the ducks. It makes for a great family outing. There are many hiking trails, the Valley Green Inn (a picturesque place to eat), and a walking/biking, horseback riding trail known as the Forbidden Drive.
