A natural oasis in the heart of New Jersey 🌱
The walks, the views, the peaceful atmosphere — Duke Farm won me over from the very first minutes.
Adding it to the list of places I want to return to again and again. 🤍
Such a beautiful orchid greenhouse! It’s amazing to see so many varieties of orchids along with other tropical plants. We spotted banana, pineapple, and plenty of papaya trees. The place is perfect for long walks or bike rides with kids. Fall here is especially stunning, with countless spots that make perfect backdrops for family portraits. I would highly recommend visiting!
Quick summary: Beautiful place. Especially the Orchid Greenhouse. Very nature conservation centric. Staff were great throughout.
The Do and don'ts: Make parking reservations during peak season(as required by website). Be prepared to walk and absolutely wear comfortable shoes. Dress accordingly to your comfort needs and anticipate weather conditions.
Cafe was nice. Selections were basically coffee, hot chocolate, pizza, soup, chips, yogurt, water, cake, very light pickings but decent. Very clean.
I would give 5 stars easily if not for one issue: needs more restrooms (which were clean by the way). When you walk this much in the cold you may need to "go" more often than usual and if you're really needing to use one urgently they can be a task to get to. Would be nice if it were possible to have a sink at the few outhouses that were available.
Overall an enjoyable adventure! ❤️
The park has huge territory, beautiful nature, trees, flowers. Very nice orchid house. Such a lovely place!
I taught a geographic information systems workshop here for three days, and the staff and scientists and educators are incredibly visionary and wonderful. This facility is living up to its commitment to sustainability and reusability. There are so many diverse wonderful plants and trees. The biking the hiking it’s all completely wonderful. My favorite is the meditation garden and the Sycamore walk and the statues and Stone walls in the hay barn.
