The Woodmere Art Museum beckons art lovers and novices alike with its fine collection of Pennsylvania art. The museum's comprehensive children's program helps to make fine art more accessible to all ages. Stroll the cobblestone Avenue to uncover a plethora of art in the amazing galleries and antique shops which invigorate the retail strip. Chestnut Hill is host to two weekend festivals throughout the year. The Garden Festival in spring, and Fall for the Arts in the fall.
Music too fills the air in Chestnut Hill.
And jazz and swing played a big part in making this year's Garden Festival a success. Our natural beauty is kept intact in the world class Morris Arboretum , and at the nation's largest park, Fairmount Park, which are both minutes away. A popular private garden to view belongs to Dr Peter Hedrick at 8018 Germantown Avenue and as long as the gate is open, visitors are welcome. The Andorra Nature Center borders the Wissahickon Valley and offers field trips, lectures and discussions designed to increase your awareness of this remarkably natural environment here in urban Philadelphia.
