Artelo Hotel
A boutique hotel on Birch Street, just off downtown Kennett Square's State Street. It's one of the newer places to stay in the borough.

An art and craft gallery on South Union Street, hung with work from local makers. Worth a wander when you're after a one-of-a-kind gift.

Chandler Mill Nature Preserve
45 acres at the meeting of the Red Clay and Bucktoe creeks, part of an Audubon-designated Important Bird Area and a 30-year Cornell Lab of Ornithology bird study. The 47-foot Chandler Mill Bridge, on the National Register of Historic Places, reopened to walkers and bikes in 2020; no dogs on the trails.
Cypress Beach Park
A neighborhood park off E Cypress Street, on the east side of Kennett Square.

A boutique hotel on South Union Street, a short walk from the State Street restaurants. Good for putting up family in town for a Longwood Gardens weekend.

A working museum of vintage computers on South Union Street, with a gift and hobby shop attached. Old machines you can see running, kept alive by people who love them.
Kennett Flash
A nonprofit listening room off Sycamore Alley where the crowd actually shuts up for the band. Expect singer-songwriters and touring acts on a stage you can practically reach.
Kennett Heritage Center
Kennett Square's local-history museum, on North Union. A good stop for the town's Underground Railroad and mushroom-country past.

The town library on East State Street, in its big new building. Story times, meeting rooms, and stacks to get lost in.
Kennett Square Community Park
A public park in Kennett Square with open fields and green space for a picnic or a pickup game.
Longwood Gardens
The du Pont horticultural giant three miles northeast of town, where the Main Fountain Garden runs May 8 through October 25 and A Longwood Christmas takes over from November 20 into early January. Timed tickets are required, and it closes Tuesdays most of the year.
Marshall Mill House Preserve
40 acres of class 1 woodland with intact forest interior and a 1.5-mile loop trail that earns its incline and steps. Open dawn to dusk, leashed dogs allowed.
New Garden Flying Field
A working public airfield (FAA code N57) a few miles west of town that doubles as a spectator spot, with Cars, Coffee, & Airplanes mornings on the ramp. The Festival of Flight air, car, and antique-aircraft show returns August 8 and 9, 2026.
New Leaf Sensory Garden
11 acres of wetlands and meadow with a half-mile trail, a pollinator garden, Brandywine Red Clay's working apiary, and interactive sensory stations along the way. Kid bait of the best sort; leave the dog home.

Red Clay Creek Trail
Part of the Kennett Greenway, a walking and biking path that follows Red Clay Creek out of town.

86 acres and four miles of trails through fields and woodlands, home to a 300-year-old oak, saved from a housing development when neighbors and the Land Conservancy bought the land outright. Open dawn to dusk with leashed dogs welcome; mountain bikes and horses (ride-in only) too.
