Located just 16 miles north of Philadelphia, the borough of Ambler is very small in size, but packs a big punch. The definition of a “small town”, Ambler covers an area of only one square mile but has an incredible array of shops, restaurants, bars, and special events. Ambler is a very walkable town, and easily accessible by car via the turnpike and Route 309. Art lovers are drawn to Main Street, home to the historic Ambler Theatre and The Act II Playhouse Performing Arts Theatre. The Ambler Theatre was built in 1928, and consists of 2 auditoriums seating 140 and 110 people respectively, and features independent and classic movies 7 days per week. Many renovations over the years have restored the marquee to its original majesty, including the 30-foot towering vertical neon sign. The Act II Playhouse Performing Arts Theatre is renowned, receiving 42 Barrymore nominations and 6 Barrymore awards. Act II is committed to creating and producing original, classic, and contemporary plays, musicals, and cabarets that reflect the highest artistic standards in an intimate, interactive venue.

The 7-block stretch of Butler Avenue is also known as a culinary hub, with La Provence, Geronimo’s, and From the Boot being excellent dining stops.
