Directions from Penn
Driving
Arriving by car is the easiest way to get to the Arboretum. If you don’t have access to your own vehicle rideshare services regularly bring students and visitors to the Arboretum.
Biking
Bicycling to the Arboretum can be a great way to get out in nature, explore Philadelphia and get some exercise. The 14 mile route to the Arboretum (insert google maps link) is primarily bike and pedestrian only, with limited cycling on roads with vehicles. Approximately 6 miles of the bike path is on a gravel path in the Wissahickon Park requiring bicycles with tires appropriate for gravel.
