Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Native Wildflower Habitats

Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve presents acres of native plantings, where seasonal displays and habitat restoration are the main draw for visitors holding the combination ticket.

THE VIEW

Panoramas from Bowman's Hill Tower

Ascend the Tower for sweeping panoramas over Bucks County—the Tower's vantage is the ticket's complementary counterpoint to the close-up botany of the Preserve.

THE PRACTICALITY

One Discounted Ticket, Two Sites

The combination ticket removes the need to buy separate admissions: it allows same-day entrance to both the Wildflower Preserve and the Tower for a single price.

What the day feels like

How the day feels

The combined visit pairs close-up time among native wildflowers with a short drive and a stair-climb to a high, clear view; the ticket is designed for same-day visits that let you move from meadow trails to the tower’s outlook in a single outing.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who should consider this outing — and who should rethink it.

Visitors who can climb stairsBecause the Tower's elevator is not operational, the visit requires climbing the tower steps; the combination ticket covers access but does not change vertical access requirements.

Drivers and those with a carThere is no direct pedestrian link between the Preserve and the Tower; visitors must drive between the two sites to use the same-day ticket.

Visitors seeking consolidated admissionTravelers who prefer a single, discounted admission for both Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve and Bowman's Hill Tower will find this ticket convenient for same-day access.

Those with mobility limitationsBecause the Tower requires stair climbing while its elevator is out of service, travelers with mobility constraints should consider this access limitation before purchasing the combination ticket.
