Spending time among the trees – whether we’re in a treehouse or ziplining – gives us a unique perspective on the landscape around us. It’s one of those experiences we all need at least once. One of the most unique local adventures on which you can embark will take you on the longest elevated canopy walk in Pennsylvania.

Nestled 50 feet above the ground, the 450-foot elevated canopy walk at Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia provides a unique view of the surrounding landscape.

If you thought the view was beautiful from eye-level, just wait until lie down on the Squirrel Scramble, a massive net.

All guests are asked to respect the trees. Guests are not permitted to sit or to walk on the limbs. However, you can and probably will take a ton of photos of your adventure.
