Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
A labyrinthine mosaic garden by artist Isaiah Zagar, assembled from broken tiles, glass bottles, and mirrors.
This outdoor and indoor installation covers half a city block. Its walls, floors, and tunnels are all covered in mosaics made from recycled materials, making it one of Philadelphia’s most photogenic spots. Admission is about US$15, and time slots must be booked online in advance. Located on South Street, the surrounding area has plenty of Zagar’s mosaic murals, cafés, and secondhand shops.
