Chanticleer

Thirty acres of a 1913 estate fashioned into a series of formal gardens including a meadow, woodland with shrubs and a produce garden.

My daughter and I spent an entire afternoon here last Saturday exploring the grounds and gardens. The grounds are incredibly beautiful and unique. The many seats and benches throughout the property encourage quiet contemplation of your surroundings. We had a very enjoyable time and I look forward to going back for one of their picnic evenings!

We had a fun time in the park. There are a lot of things to see here and a good walk in the woods. Our dog loved it too.

Delaware County Veterans Memorial in Newtown Square

Take a walk around the Memorial stopping at each of the nine 18ft granite columns where you will learn about American Wars and Conflicts from the War of 1812 to the Wars of the Middle East. Read quotes from Presidents and Generals and see through the eyes of the veterans as you read their words during times of war. Feel the never ending gratitude as you read the names of fallen soldiers Wounded Warriors, POWs and heroes of the armed forces etched in granite. Walk amongst the pavers honoring local love ones and supporting our troops with personalized messages. A fountain, located in the center, is a gathering place for reflection and it's constant flow reminds us of the memory of our Veterans which will be kept alive forever at this Memorial. Open 7 days a week, the Memorial Association is proud to honor our men and women in uniform with the Memorial dedicated to preserving the legacy of all Veterans and active members of the American Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and National Guard during any period from all over the nation.

I really like this place for two reasons. The first being the meaning behind it. I love when veterans get the recognition they deserve and two I like that it is flat. I have an older dog and he doesn't do well on hills anymore. Great place!!!

Everything about this place is great. They run on time, their website is easy to navigate, the staff is wonderful (shout to Dan for being an awesome guide!) and the rooms are incredibly well designed. My friends and I had a blast in both the Revolution Spies and The Lab rooms. Thanks for giving us a great first and second escape room experience!!

The 1696 Thomas Massey House

Reviewed By Adam C - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is one of the earliest examples of how one can overcome obstacles to live the American dream, Thomas Massey fulfilled his indenture and received the promised 50 acres of land from his master as well as 50 acres from William Penn. The house is furnished with period furniture late 17th and 18th century, much of which is original. The tour guides/volunteers are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the house, Thomas Massey (& family) as well as history of the area (the suburban Philadelphia counties of Chester & Delaware). One of the docents was a 9 year old boy named Daniel, who was surprisingly knowledgeable and entertaining as a tour guide. I had watched him guide a family, including a child younger than himself and was able to engage them well. While there is no fee, donations are very much appreciated and needed to keep such interesting historical sites around.

This is the unforgiving spot where George Washington's weary troops passed the brutal winter of 1777-78.

Reviewed By Zach F

Our Scout troop toured the encampment utilizing a Bluetooth speaker and the audio tour. It was a wealth of information over and above what our leaders were able to convey to the scouts. Two of them are history teachers and the audio tour was accurate to a tee it was a wonderful addition to our trip.

Received a gift certificate for my birthday. I got the long ultimate massage. Both the staff and Dr Allison herself helped choose the best massage therapist for my needs and set up the appointment. Like all good spas everyone was super nice and very much wanted to make my visit relaxing and about me. Actually, not necessarily like all good spas. I think places like Toppers lost that a long time ago. Massage was tailored to me, my muscle issues, my preferences and my needs. Really very good. Then I was encouraged (like they really meant it) to stay in relaxation room And I did. And it carried the ahhhhhh factor on after the official service was over. I felt welcome and not weird doing so. Great place that I highly recommend.
