Haddonfield
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Haddonfield; walk the historic centre, visit the Hadrosaurus sites and Indian King Tavern, then return to Philadelphia.
Haddonfield is a compact historic borough in Camden County, New Jersey. All attractions lie within a 2‑mile radius, making it easy to explore on foot in a single day. Train service from Philadelphia (PATCO) takes about 20 min, and parking is available for drivers. The town’s single B&B and limited dining mean a short stay is sufficient.
