- Camden Children's Garden - Operated By: Camden City Garden Club Inc. -

The Camden City Garden Club is a non-profit 501c3 environmental and educational organization.

Originally formed in 1985 for the purpose of assisting Camden City residents with community gardening, the Club's programs soon expanded in 1989 to include the in-school Grow Lab Program and the Youth-at-Risk Job Training and Employment Program.  The organization’s community gardening program has been expanded to include community greening, beautification projects, urban farming and food security.

In 1999, we opened the Camden Children's Garden, our attraction located on the Camden Waterfront. 
The garden is designed for children and families. It is a special place to explore and discover the natural world. The four-acre garden provides horticultural experiences for creative and imaginative play. The Garden includes three indoor attractions, the popular Philadelphia Eagles Four Seasons Butterfly House, the tropical exhibit, Plaza de Aibonito and Ben Franklin’s Secret Workshop. Other exhibits include a Dinosaur Garden, Maze, Tree House, Picnic Garden, CityScapes Garden, Storybook Gardens and the Fitness Garden. Visitors can round out their visit by riding the Carousel, Arrow River Train and the Spring Butterfly Ride. Our Administrative Offices are located in the garden which also serves as a hub for our community programming.
