What to expect from this tour

  • Self-guided mansion tours do not include access to buildings other than the mansion.
  • Access to the basement Tahitian Room and Grizzly Bar will be led by a visitor services staff member approximately every half hour.
  • You may take as much or as little time in the mansion as you’d like, but we recommend planning for 45 minutes to allow enough time to explore.
  • Tours of the mansion consist of substantial walking and standing. The historic mansion is not currently wheelchair accessible. There are several stairs to access the first floor, and several flights of stairs to see the other floors. The mansion does not have an elevator. Please make the best decision for the accessibility of your party with this knowledge.
