Dave and I totally love this place. We stumbled upon on it back in 2008. Since then, we have been there many times and whenever we have visitors, we always make sure to bring them here.
The place is absolutely marvelous. From ceiling to floor and wall to wall, every bit of the place was covered! Quotes and pictures and random things popped out of everywhere, and everything connected together. Inside, outside, indoor and outdoor, there was not an inch of space that bored me. Even the bathrooms were a piece of art. $5 admission. It’s a must see! They always have events here too that you check out. We have been to quite numerous event.

About the Magic Garden
Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens is a folk art environment, gallery space, and nonprofit organization that showcases the work of mosaicist Isaiah Zagar. Located at the site of Zagar’s largest public mosaic installation, the Magic Gardens includes a fully mosaiced indoor gallery and a massive outdoor labyrinthine mosaic sculpture. The installation, primarily consisting of found objects and contributions from the community, covers half a city block with myriads of tile, texture, and color. A walk through the labyrinth will reveal sculptures from Latin America and Asia, bicycle wheels from local South Street shop Via Bicycles, Zagar’s hand-made tiles, and mirrors of every shape and size.
