Reviews
"I was fortunate to work with Kara S., for an event for the holidays. She went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed and was on top of all items needed to pull off this Extravaganza. It was an incredible experience for all and I appreciated the time spent working with her and her team at the museum."
"We took out three year old granddaughter to see the Daniel Tiger exhibit. She loved it!!!! We bought a family membership so we are planning to return and enjoy all the museum has to offer. Discount in the gift shop, too! We had a wonderful day together. The grounds are lovely to walk, too. Thank you!"
"Great place for morning and evening walks. There are lot of benches to relax with nature and bird chirps."
"I frequent the Arboretum in Reading. This is one of my favorite places here. It's so nice to walk and watch the birds, listen to the Wyomissing Creek flowing, and enjoying nature outside. The gardens are beautiful."
"A quiet, clean, beautiful park and trails, surrounded by the creek and beautiful buildings and homes in Wyomissing, Pa. You can walk your dog, relax and learn what nature's names are all around you."
