Exciting Tours that You Can Take in Your Car, and at Your Leisure

Click Here for an Updated Version of this site.

Each tour is designed in a pattern that forms a reasonable and easy driving loop…you can enter the loop from any direction…and simply follow the attractions back to your original entry point for an easy return home. Of course you may also juggle the sites to fit your particular schedule. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you visit the web sites of those attractions you plan to visit, to make sure they are open during the season and hours you expect to be here. Most of our sites are open year round and at least 5 days a week. But a few places are closed in the winter and a handful do tours only by appointment. (Smaller historic sites manned by volunteer-only staff, are open limited hours, but are glad to do tours by appointment)


1. Our Tour-For-Two includes many of the sites and attractions visited by couples who come to Brandywine Country, including tours of award winning vineyards and art museums, taking an afternoon sail on the Delaware River, exploring historic sites, a Wildlife Refuge and spending a glittering evening of food and fun at Harrah’s Chester Casino and Race Track.

2. The Family Fun Tour features several tours and activities where everyone takes part in the action, like canoeing down the Brandywine River, picking your own fruit and vegetables from a family orchard, taking a trolley ride and visiting a Helicopter Museum. There a many unique places where the prices are good and the fun quotient is off the chart!

3. We also list a sample Garden Tour and History Tour. Many visitors to our region come because we are a perfect match for a particular interest they have. Two of the top 5 reasons people visit Brandywine Country are to visit our gardens and to soak up America’s earliest history. As part of the birthplace of freedom, Brandywine Country is a ‘must visit’ destination for history buffs…and our famous gardens draw both professionals (botanists and naturalists) and amateurs (all lovers of things that bloom, home gardeners and nature lovers).


NOTE: There are many more museums, wineries, and attractions to choose from than just those listed as part of the tours below. There are automobile museums, sculptor’s studios, year-round Christmas shops, a special tourist commuter train, bronze artisan studios, Battleship New Jersey tours, the PA Veterans Museum and much more.
