Duration: 7 Hours (approx.)
$119.00/pp
Nestled in the scenic Brandywine Creek Valley, Longwood shines every season. This impressive 1,077‑acre botanical garden features woodlands, meadows, and meticulously designed landscapes that showcase extraordinary horticultural artistry. Spring and summer bring lush greenery and vibrant blooms, while winter transforms the estate with shimmering lights, holiday‑themed floral displays in the Conservatory, and the iconic Christmas tree exhibition.
Longwood Gardens is also a defining chapter in the du Pont family story. Pierre S. du Pont purchased the property in 1906, preserved its historic arboretum, and reimagined it into one of America’s premier public gardens. During your visit, you’ll enjoy a self‑guided experience with the option to view a short film that explores the du Pont family’s influence and the legacy that shaped Longwood into the world‑class destination it is today.
