We are now closed! Thank you to everyone who made this holiday season special.

We've made the decision to close on Friday due to predictions of inclement weather. ☔ 🥶 That means if you want to see this year's Christmas decorations at Strawberry, TOMORROW is your LAST CHANCE! We'll see you there!

4 more days! Historic Strawberry Mansion is open this weekend, plus Thursday and Friday next week, and then we go home for the holidays. Come take a spin around the ballroom while you still can!

Reminder: There's only one more chance to have Christmas tea at the Mansion! Our final tea of the season is this Saturday, December 17, from 12 to 3 PM. We hope you'll drop by! ☕

One tree, two tree, pink tree, blue tree... it's all about the trees 🎄🎄🎄 during Christmas at Strawberry. Decorations are up until December 23, come see them while you have the chance! #phillychristmas

Weekend 1 of #ChristmasAtStrawberry! Only 3 more weeks to see this year's decorations, so plan your visit today!

Today is the 1st of December, and you know what that means- Christmas tours at Strawberry have officially begun! Come see the mansion decorated in holiday splendor, Thursday-Sunday until the 23rd. Payment by donation ($5/person suggested but all are welcome regardless of funds)
