The small visitors center was nice, but as someone that loves historic places like Gettysburg and Valley Forge, the grounds were severely lacking. I understand it's state run and has limited funding, but some hiking/walking trails with historic markers doesn't have to be elaborate would go a LONG way. Recreated earthworks would also be an inexpensive way to help set the atmosphere and visually separate it from any old local park.
The visitors center and historic houses are great. Battlefield is large for a Revolutionary War one, but not a lot to see.Visited onWeekend
Beautiful place steeped in history. The tour was very informative and well constructed, and the people at the information center were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend coming here.
September 2022 Very enjoyable way to spend a couple hours walking the grounds and visiting the few Revolutionary era buildings. Some great exhibits on hand, and you can get guided tours, as well. Washington was on these grounds for a couple days during the Battle of Brandywine. The Gilpin house is in great shape, even has a room believed to be the tavern from nearly 300 years ago. Huge 300 year old tree not far from the building is really cool to see.
Nice place bit not actual battle site, just General Washington's headquarters! Also the park currently is opened on Fridays. Staff encountered was very friendly and informative.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
A must see sight, one you can not miss is the historical tree that has been there since the signing of the Constitution! On a different note it is a great kissing spot.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree

For how important this battle was in the revolutionary war, I had hoped to find more signs and different exhibits.
They close at 4pm missed it by an hour, most parks are sunrise to sunset. We had dinner up the road and thought it might be nice to enjoy.Visited onWeekend
The Brandywine Battlefield is always a pleasant place to go. It is well kept and clean. The museum at the visitor center is small but well done and worth seeing. The Battlefield is also a great place to hold outdoor events.
