Andalusia Historic House, Gardens & Arboretum is a natural paradise located on a beautiful stretch of the Delaware River in Bensalem, PA, just north of Philadelphia. Andalusia is a great place to spend a day exploring history and nature.
Andalusia is closed for the season and will reopen on March 31, 2025.
During winter months, Andalusia can still accommodate small groups (up to 12 people) for house tours.
Larger group tour bookings for the 2025 season are now open.
Stroll the spectacular formal gardens and native woodlands on a self-guided tour of the Andalusia grounds.
