  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Cherry Hill is a suburban township of about 71,000 people in Camden County, New Jersey, 15–20 minutes by PATCO train from Center City Philadelphia. It has no walkable downtown: sights, malls and hotels sit along Route 70, Route 38 and Haddonfield Road, so a car or a rideshare is the practical way to move. Most travellers use it for cheaper hotel rooms near Philadelphia, the Cherry Hill Mall, or the Garden State Discovery Museum with children. Two nights covers it; one night is enough if you only need a bed.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

A car or rideshare is the default: distances between the mall, museums and hotels are 3–8 km and pavements are inconsistent. PATCO's Woodcrest station runs 24/7 to Camden and Center City Philadelphia; NJ Transit's Atlantic City Rail Line stops at Cherry Hill station on Route 70 at Cornell Avenue, but trains are infrequent, so check the timetable. NJ Transit buses serve the Cherry Hill Mall and connect to Camden, Pennsauken, Merchantville and Philadelphia. Interstate 295 has three exits in the township, and the New Jersey Turnpike Exit 4 links to Route 73.

See & do

Day-trips, door to door

Day-trips

Door-to-door, not ride time
Philadelphiago

Door to door: About 40–50 min

PATCO from Woodcrest station to Center City, about 20 min

The main reason to sleep here; trains run around the clock, so a late dinner is possible.

Camden, New Jersey

caution

Door to door: About 20–30 min

PATCO to Camden, or a 10–15 min drive

Check which attractions are open and go in daylight; the waterfront museums are the draw.

Haddonfield

go

Door to door: About 20–30 min

PATCO to Haddonfield, then a short walk

Small walkable centre with shops and restaurants; a half-day.

Collingswood

go

Door to door: About 25–35 min

PATCO to Collingswood, then walk

Restaurant strip along Haddon Avenue; good for dinner.

Lindenwold

skip

Door to door: About 20–25 min

PATCO to the end of the line

Mostly a park-and-ride and suburban housing; no reason to go unless you are connecting.

Somerdale

caution

Door to door: About 20 min

Drive via Route 30 or I-295, about 15 min

Suburban shopping and dining; only worth it if you are already driving.

Pennsauken

caution

Door to door: About 20 min

Drive via Route 70 or Route 130, about 10–15 min

Mostly commercial and residential; useful for errands, not sightseeing.

Runnemede

skip

Door to door: About 20 min

Drive via I-295 or the Turnpike, about 15 min

Small suburban borough; nothing that justifies the trip.

Eat & sleep

Which area to sleep in

Where to sleep

Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.

Route 70 / Marlton Pike corridor

The main hotel strip; restaurants and shops within walking distance of some hotels, but pavements are patchy.

Cherry Hill Mall / Route 38 area

Walkable to the mall and its restaurants; handy if shopping is the point of the trip.

Woodcrest PATCO area

Best for car-free trips into Philadelphia; few hotels, so check availability first.

Haddonfield Road / Garden State Park

Towne Place shops and restaurants, plus chain hotels; needs a car for everything else.

Watch out

Safety

Cherry Hill is a low-crime suburban township and generally safe by day and night. The real risks are traffic on Route 70, Route 38 and I-295, unlit crossings between shops, and leaving valuables visible in a parked car.
  • No walkable downtown: plan each stop by car, bus or train, not on foot.
  • PATCO and NJ Transit fares and schedules change: check the operator site before you travel.
  • Route 70, Route 38 and I-295 are busy commuter roads; drive defensively and expect tolls on the Turnpike.
  • Hotel rates spike when Philadelphia has a big event; book early or stay further out.
  • Summer afternoons are hot and humid; carry water if you are walking between shops.
