Guide offers plenty of information. However, certain driving routes [Fairmount Park Drive, for example] will get you lost. Also, closed attractions are not clearly stated. For example, the Horticultural Center has open hours listed. But Fodors shoould CLEARLY state that it is CLOSED ON MONDAYS. Other details are also missing... like the Bishop White House and Todd House only accomodate about 20 people a day for tours, so you need to sign up EARLY to have any chance of touring it.
