    I went there today with my 16 month old daughter for a birthday party. She had a great time. We rode the train and got on the carousel. There were activities all over such as design your own cookies. It's a beautiful garden and think it's perfect for children 6 and under. The restrooms were clean as was the rest of the garden.

    My Grandchildren and I were there on 4th of July explore the gardens and watch the fireworks and we enjoyed ourselves. The Grandkids had fun on the inflatable giant slide, carousel, playground and exploring the various gardens. They also enjoyed making bracelets with beads. Every staff member was friendly and patient with the children. I was most impressed by a coworker there by the name of Andrew. He was so delightful and kept his pleasant personality while multitasking. I would be overwhelmed with the work load he had that day but he remained delightful and attentive....that alone would have me and my family go back to the Camden Children's Garden again!

    Had a play date here yesterday with my 2 year old son and his friend who is almost 2. This place is awesome! My favorite was the butterfly house. Of course the kids enjoyed the train ride and the carousel ride. But to see them enjoy the water sprinklers was my favorite part! Definitely will be bringing my son back and would recommend this place especially for toddlers. It's not Disney world but it's a great place to visit.

    Celebrating my daughter's 6th Birthday! We all enjoyed ourselves!

    Upgrades look great. People are very friendly. It might need more work but way way better than before.

    This my first time with the clay studio, I really enjoyed my time and so did my client. She is 94…read moreand she really worked that machine to create her perfect piece. Everything was so nice and clean, loved how they had a shop and little museum to walk through! Great pieces! Nadia and Lily were amazing and very helpful! Thanks to those too! We will definitely be back and e turning was nice, the food was wonderful!

    Great for date night, girls night out, family time or honestly anything!…read more I did the pottery date night class and it was so awesome! It starts out with a small cocktail hour (no alcohol, other beverages and finger foods) in the clay studio gift shop. You get some time to look some cool stuff on display and can purchase them too! The actual pottery making was around 90mins, 60mins on the wheel and about 30mins to glaze the piece. There is one main instructor and a few assistant instructors that walk around and help you out. You watch a demo first and then get hands on at making your own bowl! The instructors are really patient and if you mess up, they'll hand you another ball of clay. I screwed up many of my pieces and got super embarrassed but they'd joke and make it fun. You get to pick 2 pieces to keep out of all the ones you make during the 60mins. I ended up with 2 small succulent pots, super excited to put my plants in! The glazing is pretty simple. There are a handful of basic colors to choose from and you just paint them on. Afterwards the studio will fire the pieces and then ship then to an address you designate. We got ours a little earlier than 2weeks so it was a nice surprise! I would definitely go to another session again and may even commit to the longer semester classes...just need to free up time . If you're considering this, definitely do it!

(Which was incredible, look for the reviews on Yelp) At lunch time, there were two other dudes eating lunch at the picnic tables. Everything was clean and maintained. It's a really weird location tho. Way at the back of the Walmart parking lot and none of the other piers are renovated. So your view is distant industrial harbor and homeless folks camped on the other piers. But this Pier 68 itself was peaceful and nice, with plenty of nearby parking. It's exactly what I wanted from a place to eat take-out lunch.

    We came here because we heard this pier is supposedly known for fishing, located on the Delaware…read moreRiver Waterfront. Some pros about this place was when we first came here, I saw there was a lot of parking. It's good considering the amount of people that would go to the near by park. Secondly, this pier has a lot of seating and tables for people to rest and even eat. Which is what my friend and I did. The pier is close to a Mcdonalds and other stores so while our boyfriends were fishing, us girls would just sit at one of those picnic tables and eat our food. There was some seats near the water too. Third, it has a couple trees for shade and has a nice view looking over the city. Some cons about this place was that when I came here I felt disgusted. The place is dirty and has a lot of construction work that was being done and needs some work. All of the tables but one was dirty and looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a while. Another thing was because of the construction that was being done around the area, the fishing was hard. There was too many obstacles and structures in the water that my boyfriend got hooked and lost his line twice! They had a broken beaten down wired fence around the area of the pier which made me feel unsafe for kids who are playing around this area. It also made the water look really dirty from all the dirt and gravel from whatever they are building. Not a good fishing place but more like a nice relax picnic place for families to enjoy. I just hope they clean it more frequently.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, as well as opportunities for picnicking and boating on Concourse Lake. Fairmount Park is also home to the Please Touch Museum and the Philadelphia Zoo, making it a great destination for families. I am normally here for The roots picnic, but realized this park has so much to offer. If you are up for outdoor activities, make sure to come by and explore. One tidbit, make sure you make sure you are going to this park because there is another Fairmount park that is also in Philly. Enjoy!

    Intro to Rock Climbing with Valley to Summit on September 18, 2022…read more This was my second trip to Chickies Rock with VTS and it was wonderful! There were only 5 of us, so plenty of time to climb. Our Guide, Bob, was so patient, engaged and informative. I learned a lot of great things that I had not known before about clothing, ropes and technique. Bob was so patient with me and was there with his " green pointer" to help me over the tough spots. You should know that I am 74 years old and tho I have climbed indoors for a few years, my stamina was not that of the youngsters who were there! Nonetheless, it was a great time! I highly recommend Valley to Summit, this being my 3 rd trip with them. They Rock!

    Absolutely amazing professional guides!!…read more I hired this company to guide me through the winters treacherous water fall trails of Ricketts Glen that is normally closed off for hikers that don't have the explicitly specific required safety gear for winter hikes which this company provides. The guides were patient and helpful with the small group in getting gear on and going over all the safety equipment. They were never impatient with anyone and insanely kind. You could tell the guides truly enjoyed bringing everyone out to this amazing trail at Ricketts Glen State Park. I wasn't sure what to expect but OMG it was worth the money spent to have these guys/gals guide me through the trails. I took tons of pictures and was never rushed at all while taking in the views and photos. This company comes highly recommended amongst the hiking community even out of state.
