Although we didn't take the hourly tour to the house, the video telling the history was very informative. The grounds are amazing. It was a worth while visit

I've traveled here twice in the past 2 years with my elementary school students with special needs, as part of their school program. The staff at Lyndhurst has been exemplary with regard to the knowledge they were able to share and their patience for both "typical" early elementary school students and students with special needs.

This is especially nice during the Fall and Christmas season. There is an entry fee but it was well worth it. Great place for families to go and spend a day.

A very pretty property and the guide was very knowledgable about the inhabitants and life in that time. There are many mansions to see in this area, you may be able to combine two or more tours on the same day.

I took my two kids on the hour long tour of the Lyndhurst Mansion and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids were bored but I definitely want to go back without them and spend more time exploring the grounds. The mansion itself is breathtaking and our tour guide was very knowledgable and informative.

Just visited today and had a wonderful time. I am not sure what some of the other reviews are talking about in terms of upkeep. I thought everything was very well restored. While not everything on the property has been restored yet, the main house is in very great condition. All of the furnishings are original to the main house,... More
