Cherry Hill

see all destinations

A family-friendly suburb of Philadelphia (just 15 minutes away), Cherry Hill is also the commercial center of southern New Jersey. Check out Cherry Hill Mall for fashions and fine dining; find entertainment at Historic Croft Farms; and visit the Garden State Discovery Museum for kid-sized fun.

Cherry Hill Mall was the East Coast’s first enclosed mall and it’s still the area’s top destination, not only for shopping but also for special events and even upscale dining. Big draws here include Nordstrom for shoes and clothing and Seasons 52 for elegant and calorie-conscious dining.

Another shopping and dining destination is Garden State Park, which started life as a horse racetrack and is now a pedestrian-friendly, modern town center.

If you’ve got young kids in tow, make a beeline for the Garden State Discovery Museum (2040 Springdale Rd.). This playful museum enchants nursery through elementary school children with more than a dozen hands-on exhibits.

Don’t Miss:

• Springdale Farms (1638 S. Springdale Rd.) for seasonal produce and autumn hayrides, bonfires and corn maze fun

• Swanky Bubbles (482 Evesham Rd.) for cool cocktails and global cuisine made for sharing

Insider Tip: Historic Croft Farm (100 Borton Mill-Evans Mill Rd.), and the 1753 farmhouse at its center, started life as a working mill and farm. Later, it was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Today, its 80 acres have been transformed into a regional arts center hosting performances by the Cherry Hill Orchestra, dance troupes and musicians.
