Guest User: I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. They were very accommodating with my requests. The hotel is extremely clean which is the most important thing and very up to date. My only wish is that they offered complimentary coffee/tea in the lobby. But I would definitely come back in the future

New jersey's most peculiar art park — traveler post in Hamilton

New jersey's most peculiar art park

Some of the sculptures at Grounds For Sculpture are surprisingly realistic. lol and it's kinda strange..There are figures sitting, standing and going about ordinary activities, and from a distance a few could easily be mistaken for actual visitors. Other sections recreate scenes from famous paintings, with the figures and surroundings arranged so you can walk right into what looks like a painting. It's a clever idea, and quite different from walking around a conventional museum. The grounds cover 42 acres, so this isn't somewhere I'd allocate just half an hour. There's a fair amount of walking, little paths leading to unexpected sculptures, and landscaped areas that are worth exploring on their own. Adult admission is $25, and the park is generally open from 10 am to 5 pm, except Tuesdays. I would book a timed ticket beforehand. The outdoor sculptures were the main attraction for me, although some of the quieter corners of the grounds were just as enjoyable. #photospothogging #travel #thingstodo

Finally saying goodbye to the gloomy weather this weekend! With good weather, outdoor activities are a must 🌿 Here’s a list of 10 outdoor spots within 1.5 hours of Philadelphia that we often visit. It includes gardens, forests, parks, and some lesser-known estates! (Listed from farthest to closest) 1️⃣ Duke Farms (1.5h) P5-8 A massive ecological farm where you can bike or hike. Bikes are available for rent in the park. 2️⃣ Grounds For Sculpture (1.5h) A combination of art and gardens, perfect for photography. It feels like an outdoor art museum. (Avoid the French restaurant inside—it’s not worth it.) 3️⃣ Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve (50min) A relatively unknown wildflower preserve with a more natural and wild vibe. It’s especially stunning during spring when flowers bloom. 4️⃣ Valley Forge National Historical Park (45min) P12 A large grassy area combined with a historical park, ideal for picnics, kite flying, and leisurely walks (free entry). 5️⃣ Tyler Arboretum (35min) A more natural botanical garden with treehouse trails. It’s quiet and comfortable (tickets required). 6️⃣ Ridley Creek State Park (30min) A mix of forest and creek! A favorite among locals, perfect for unwinding. 7️⃣ Morris Arboretum & Gardens (25min) P6-11 UPenn’s botanical garden with a treetop walkway.

(Parking reservations required.) 9️⃣ Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum (20min) A lesser-known estate garden with great riverside views. It’s elegant and perfect for a leisurely stroll (tickets must be reserved in advance). 🔟 Wissahickon Valley Park (20min) P14-15 Philadelphia’s own “backyard garden.” You can visit anytime, super convenient. (Highly recommend dining at the park’s restaurant! Eating by the creek is delightful.) These are some of our favorite spots 🌿 It feels like there’s always more to discover around Philadelphia. If you have any outdoor recommendations, feel free to share them!

Princeton University Art Museum

Princeton is very close to New York, and the drive takes about 1 hour or less than 2 hours. The most famous and must-see place in the city is the Princeton University Art Museum. The campus is very beautiful, with flowers, trees and plants everywhere, and students and teachers sitting together everywhere, looking very leisurely and comfortable. The sculptures in the art museum are particularly interesting and worth seeing.

Empire State Building

A truly iconic building that’s absolutely worth a visit, especially the 86th‑floor open‑air observatory. The views were jaw‑dropping and easily some of my favourite I’ve ever seen. Just love it ♥️
