They tout the 9 floors and 175 rooms. Your tour? About 10 rooms on one floor! No kitchen, bedrooms, rec areas, mechanicals, etc. However, you can buy additional tours of specific but still very limited viewing areas but it has to be carefully timed. Don’t bother with the house tour until they stop being so restrictive.
Feedback:
Nice place to explore some unique stuff. I like the calm atmosphere and their collection was superb. Actually me and my friend went there to find some stuff and were really happy with the experience we had . Perfect place to bring children to get them aware of some knowledgeable stuff.
Feedback:
Above all, I appreciate the acres of mature specimen trees that people with money and sense decided to plant and preserve so that we have nice things now. Also, the mowing and maintenance that allows us to stroll around the grounds from one Abies to another. I feel like I missed out on azalea season and wish I could drop by during the spring. Service is a bit dotty and spotty but they seem to be doing their best.

Somehow, even in the blistering heat, our Garden Guide, Terry, was fabulously cool, calm, collected and gave us a a truly outstanding tour of the estate. SO grateful for this oasis of beauty in our midst and for Terry and all the garden guides who grace the property with their expertise and finesse.
Feedback:
When I first went there, I thought it was just an over the top example of ostentatious wealth. After I learned more, I appreciated it more. After Mr. DuPont saw some other museums of Americana he wanted to turn his house into a museum that gave examples of the best of American art and architecture from different periods. He greatly expanded the house, not so much to live in but to house the collection. He not only collected paintings and furniture and other decorative arts, he also brought in rooms of historic homes that were being demolished and recreated them in Winterthur. It is really quite impressive and a bit intimidating because of its size. You could spend a couple of days there and not see everything.The grounds are also worth exploring.

It was amazing the experience was awesome
Feedback:
Beautiful! The garden tour is great, they have the (introductory) house tours down to a science, and what this place contributes to the community is astounding! A must see! And loved the The Crown exhibit!
Feedback:
From the moment you drive through the rolling hills, to meeting the lovely and knowledgeable information staff, to the friendly and helpful bookstore and museum store staff, to the shuttle drivers who made you feel like home, to the passionate tour guides of the house, current exhibit, and the tram tour of the grounds - Matt, we knew that this place was special and would do our best to share it with others. A breath of fresh air in the country. And tour guide Matt, you did an outstanding job. I was laughing almost the entire time as I appreciated the time you put in to master your craft. Well done to you and the entire staff!
Feedback:
NOT A FRIENDLY PLACE. WAS STOP BY THEIR RUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL SECURITY PERSON WHO ACTED LIKE A GESTAPO AGENT.NEVER COME THERE AGAIN.ALSO THE FOOD WAS SO GROSS ,SPEND OVER $50.00 FOR GARBAGE FOOD.
Feedback:
Beautiful gardens and staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. At admissions they organize everything so that you can catch a guided tram tour through the gardens before taking a guided tour of the home. All of this is included with the general admission price. They seem to have a little inferiority complex with Longwood gardens and I found the obsession with the "follies" to be a bit strange, but overall I liked it. Do bring your own bottled water though because it was ridiculously expensive, more than buying bottled water at Disney World. Additionally, something should be done about the horrible musty/mildew smell that greets you upon walking into the welcome center.
