Reviews
We attended an event at Mt Cuba Center recently and were so impressed that we signed up for a membership. The lands were absolutely beautiful and there were informative signs to give information about what we were looking at. The staff were extremely friendly and were stationed all throughout the property. We can’t wait to go back!
This location was PERFECT for engagement photos! This couple's wedding is Lord of the Rings, so I had to find a place that had stunning views outside and a lot of moss!
Mt. Cuba Center is a hidden gem—a serene and beautifully maintained native plant garden that offers a peaceful escape into nature. The staff are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. Every path leads to a new scenic view, with a calming, natural aesthetic that feels both wild and wonderfully curated. A perfect spot for garden lovers and anyone looking to unwind in a truly tranquil setting.
Beautiful flowers, plants, grounds. They could use some more small signs around the paths, it was difficult to find directions at times, but so worth the visit!
The Great Outdoors! A great place to spend some family time away from social media, news and politics. Have a picnic and chase Butterflies!
