Explore Philadelphia's Magic Gardens for free

Spread over half a city block, the Magic Gardens of Philadelphia is a precious South Street gem. A true "folk art environment" created by artist Isaiah Zagar is a captivating labyrinth of tunnels, grottos and intricate sculptures. Colorful tiles create complex images along the outdoor installation walls as well as words. Visitors can enjoy relaxing, self-guided tours or weekend tours offered by interpreters of the Garden Guide. Be sure to stop to enjoy the many parts and pieces of this incredibly unique walk— though the art exhibition is perfect for all ages to enjoy. Artsy is a wonderful activity for any day without being boring.
