Purchase Tickets Online:
Do you know what date you will be visiting? Save time by purchasing tickets on our website in advance! Purchasing your tickets in person when you arrive will put you on the first available tour, which may result in a longer wait time and if it is a busy day, we may be sold out.
Beat The Crowds:
The weekends here can get quite busy – we recommend visiting us Monday-Thursday to beat the rush and have a more relaxed experience. Please note that June and July are an exception, as every day tends to be busy during that time.
Hours Of Operation:
Open daily from 10AM-4PM on weekdays and 10AM-5PM on weekends (closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day). Closing times vary seasonally, please check our Buy Tickets page for current tour times or the top of our webpage for today’s hours.
If you are purchasing one of the later tours of the day, please note the estate fully closes 90 minutes after the final tour begins. Entrance gates close strictly 15 minutes after the final tour departure. We recommend arriving earlier to explore the gardens before your tour to ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy the full estate.
