Reviews of Heritage Museums & Gardens (Museum)

Phyllis Manchester

Was on the Cape this morning looking for something to do. Stopped at Heritage Garden to look around. Enjoyed the car display (dates range from 1899 to the 1930s). It's located in a building complete with AC (in case you need to get out of the heat fr a while). 2 floors of vintage cars including a Presidential car of President Taft. They had a Model T you could touch & sit in. (The other vehicles are understanding roped off). The gardens were pretty but didn't anticipate all the walking we did. (Hills included)..by the time we got almost to the end, we were too tired to continue. Missed the exhibition hall & carousel. We waited a while at one of the "transport" bench's hoping to get a ride back..no one came, so we walked a bit & found another transport bench. We waited again for about 10 minutes then googled and called the Museum's main number asking for someone to come by..we waited another 10 minutes and gave up.. we ended up finding our way back to the admission gate and parking lot. Expect hilly terrain and lots of walking. Pace yourself!

Michael Durand

We'd been saying for too long that we wanted to visit. Now that we have, we wonder what took us so long. Walking the grounds was both peaceful and interesting, and the museums alone would have been worth the trip. We'll be back again!

Do not I repeat. Do not miss this experience.

Bridget Morrissey

Beautiful place!

Steven Sh irk

The museum was great and the grounds were superb. The latter reminds me of the royal gardens in England, although on a smaller scale. They also have fantastic attractions for children, e.g. Hidden Hollow and a vintage carousel. These are located throughout the park so that the adults can enjoy the gardens while traveling from one destination to another.

Deborah Burke

Fascinating look at the history of automotive innovation! With the restored vehicles for reference! Perfect! And we went for the amazing flower show!!

Sagnik Ray

A treasure of a place, hidden in plain sight... a must visit if you are in the New England region, and if you are racing enthusiast. Has a good collection of yesteryear's as well as modern race cars. The grounds around the museum are famous for blossoms around the year, and depending on the time of the year you visit, you will be treated to a rainbow of colors. There is entertainment for the kids as well with a carousel and an open-air classroom.

John Houlihan

Went to the Indy 500 exhibit. Great history! The round barn is terrific, and made for a good tour of the vehicles. Snack bar has decent food.

Colleen Keegan

We had a blast. Went not knowing it was the 50th birthday party. Lots of stuff for kids and adults. Loved the car exhibit well thought out and the beds of plants were so inspirational.

Ingrid L

So much to see but we got rained in for a good portion of it. Makes for a great stroll for good weather days and has a little something for everyone of all ages! Worth another visit.

Linda Kron-Dalton

Very nice. The antique automobile cars and NASCAR's race cars were a treat to see. The flowers were awesome. Loved it all. Will visit again in the fall.

John Dziedzic

You'll find quite a number of different things on display here. Aside from the countless beautiful plants, there are also antique cars (with a photo-op with props!), artwork that changes out every so often, a flume fountain with a lily pond, a working old-fashioned carousel, a treehouse, and various collection pieces like statuettes and rifles. That said, if you plan on staying here a while (because you honestly can, considering how large the grounds are), I would suggest bringing some sort of insect repellent, since there are a number of non-paved forest paths you can take and there may be mosquitoes.

Donna Marie

Great place, have to go again.

Tatsiana Greenberg

Great place to go on the week end.

ALLAN KENNEY

The grounds were beautiful. Very nice place for a wedding exceptional and the antique cars in pristine condition was icing on the cake

Barbara Ridgway

I have always loved Heritage for its beautiful floral displays, antique cars and wonderful art exhibits. Now they are enriching the experience by adding fun and educational activities for small children. Sadly, we couldn’t try out the hedge maze, as renovations were under way, but the new Hidden Hollow area was a smash hit. Adults were able to relax while the children experimented with activities like puppet theater, musical instruments and water play. Lots of walking, but there is a little trolley style transport if you run out of steam.

Maria Zolotarev

This place is really really nice. It's definitely a hidden gem of the Cape. The gardens are lovely in the spring/early summer and there is an amazing nature children's playspace inside as well as a vintage working carousel and lots of art exhibits. There's also an auto museum on site. We got the combo tickets and went to the nearby Aerial Adventure park first, which was really fun. Come early to beat the crowds and if you decide to do the black path (the hardest one), just be prepared to face your fear of jumping from heights at the end!

Ariz Trad

Very beautiful to explore and just relax, especially in May when all the rhododendrons are in bloom. Many different paths to walk on. I especially loved the waterfront lake Shawme path.

Dave Blane

Wonderful and beautiful place for both family and couples. Been taking the twins here since 2006. Also went to see an exibit of someones huge car collection there in the round house....spectacular. Some great walking and hiking areas and nice Merry Go-Round for the kids. Great time !

bee wolk

Really nice nature place!

Steven Schmitt

Great place to visit with the kids. There is a wonderful play area at the tree house and also a great vintage carousel. The car museum is also worth it and the grounds are just beautiful

Kate Castonguay

This place is absolutely gorgeous. I ran a 5K here but want to go back to make slower rounds. The fountain and sundial area looks gorgeous for weddings. Would highly recommend.

Greg Marchand

Very beautiful place. Great for walking, contemplating, or just wandering. Admission price is not low - the seasonal family pass is worth it. Great place for kids to get some exercise, explore in the kids specific area, and ride the carousel when opened. Kids seasonal programs - Halloween, Christmas, etc are well worth it. Flower and plant shows are spectacular and the classic car collection is fun for enthusiasts.

Nightingale

It was a beautiful and awe inspiring journey through the gardens. The car show was exhilarating for my husband. I loved the beautiful Hydrangea garden and the tranquil water fountains. The museum had beautiful paintings.. and the carousel was so much fun. Spend a beautiful cool sunny day and would do it again. Great for a fun family day.

Mary Beth Dugan

Great festive fun! Gardens a Glow holiday lights

Is F

I went here with my grandma who's visiting from Indonesia. The place has a great landscape and has picturesque spots in it. It's great place if you just want to take it easy during the day and have family time. Also, the staff and the people around this area are very kind.

Sam Miceli

$18.00 and $7.00 for kids is not worth the cost for what was there. There were better displays and lights in downtown Sandwich on the way to the gardens. A few sets of lights spread out over the grounds. There is a car museum if interested in antique cars.

Ellen Saslovsky

Fabulous venue with wonderful antique cars. Lovely Gardens!

Michelle Hoffman

Stunningly beautiful place that seems almost magical.

Kevin Gardner

The car museum was worth the trip alone! Even if your not a car enthusiast

sharon cicchetti

Lovely way to spend the day. Take my friend's and family here when they visit. Totally worth getting the yearly membership...

Thomas Bourque

I have been here multiple times. The last time we went, most of the flowers weren't in bloom yet, but it was still nice. I am posting a daffodil pic from that trip. When the flowers are in bloom it is very cool! The car museum is great too!

Alfred Greco

This place is amazing! Lots of great cars to see and things to do. Also a go gift shop with interesting things to buy .

Jennifer Schelly

Awesome gardens, neat car museum, nice cafe, cool carousel, amazing children's play area, and tons of cool programs. What's not to love? Parents: Really awesome children's play area. Tree house, ball and pipe rolling area, stage with performance stuff, music area, sand area, coloring, and water play in a water fall. Bring a change of clothes, including shoes, if you think your kiddo will get into the water or sand areas. Our 3 year old went to the carousel and then spend 2-3 hours playing here (use the back exit out of the carousel). It was awesome. We started at the far end with the tree house and worked our way to the messy sand/water zone at the front and it worked out perfectly. EV Drivers: No charger

Donald Thelen

It was more of an unsupervised playground. There were many children running around

Calvin Harris

Beautiful grounds and history. Kept immaculate

Geoff Zub

Very surprised at this place, has something for everyone. Wonderful gardens, play activities for children, automotive exhibits and art exhibits. Well worth a stop, but make sure you give enough time to explore I would say at least a couple hours minimum.

Christina Filep

Beautiful grounds, and variety of art, displays from classic cars to carousel. There was something for everyone.

Juliana Ames

Lovely place, perfect for kids and adults

Amber 14

Fantastic garden, everything looked well taken care of,the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable,took us about 2 hours to walk the whole thing,I dont even think we saw everything but we just got tired from walking and headed home haha definitely something to do if you're on vacation and nearby

Sean Cronin

Alexis Aragon

Karan Cheema

Nice museum, we enjoyed the walk on the grounds

Maria Hall

Very nice and pleasant afternoon

Judi DiMartino

This place is beautiful outdoors and in. Stunning gardens, friendly staff

Pauli Pendleton

Flowers gorgeous, car collection amazing, great lectures and events, a treasure for the town of Sandwich and for the Cape.

Amy Singh

Very nice. Make sure you spend all day

Capechick Murf

Absolutely breathtaking! Soak it all in as you will find happy places to stop and smell the flowers and fresh air around every corner and path. Treehouse play area, antique car museum, gallery, snack bar, carousel you can ride as many times as you want. Flowers I've only seen in books. Simply Amazing!

Stella Yu

Fantastic garden that both parents and kids can joy themselves. I love flowers, especially the stairs with hydrangeas alongside. My son had a blast in the Hidden Hollow and indoor Carousel. There are also some trails to explore, you can spend a whole day inside.

Nancy Farnsworth

Beautiful gardens! We had a group of 16 ranging from 1 -60 and there was something for all of us to enjoy. Kiddos loved the tree house!

Rich March

Groomed grounds for a day on the park with a two floor car museum and a carasol. Bring a picnic basket and make great memories her for the entire family young and old. Plenty of parking with clean bathrooms make this place a place to soak up some vitamin D and admire the beauty of nature and make sure you visit the gift store.

Karina Bagdasarova

Absolutely loved this place. I am so happy we came across the recommendation. We are traveling with 2 little kids and they enjoyed it so much . Beautiful gardens , gorgeous playground, forest hike .

Art Beecher

06.02.19 TL; DR If you like nature, just go already. It's beautiful. The review I visited here with a group and liked it so much that I became a member. We visited this weekend because the rhododendrons were in bloom, which is supposed to be spectacular. The Gardens are absolutely beautiful. The grounds are so well-maintained. You can follow the paved trails or amble down dirt trails to quieter areas that are equally well-maintained. Just so, so pretty. I'm not much of a Car Guy, but those who are Car People *loved* the museum with amazing older cars. The carousel is also kind of cool, and I found myself more interested than I would have thought when talking with the operator about the history of the carousel, and carousels in general. Note: several of the people I was with said things like, "aren't the rhodies *beautiful*?!?!" Because of this, I had to unfriend them.

Jack Hoang

Nice botanical garden with a great collection of antique cars and art. The Hidden Hollow is lots of fun for kids.

Amber Deoliveira

We went for the christmas lights and it was amazing. Loved all the activities for the kids that they had.

Interesting, beautiful, informative. Helpful and friendly staff.

Alex Barshevsky

Beautiful gardens strewn across picturesque woodlands.

Christine Lefort

Beautiful grounds and fun activities for our young grandson! Love this place.

Joseph Drazek

Beautiful grounds. Pricey, but worth it every once in a while just to observe the museum exhibits and the blooming florals

Lucinda Guerin

My friend, Janet, lives in Sandwich and when she invited me to join her for a tour of Heritage I was thrilled. We walked the entire campus. We enjoyed our morning. The paths were easy to walk and all the lovely blooms kept us entertained. We explored the art exhibit, the lake, the children's hollow, the carousel, and " start your engines " Indy 500 exhibit. Not even the rain put a damper on our fun day!

Michael Hamrah

Great place for the family. We come here every time we go to the keep. Amazing flowers are always on bloom, great rotating art exhibits and sculptures, beautiful walking paths and great activities for the kids. The hidden hollow and tree house is an amazing spot for the kids with lots of fun, creative, outdoor activities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. There's also food and beer when you need a break.

jorge gomez

Excellent place to enjoy family time. Loved the old cars and the park is beautiful.

Boston Kyle

Amazing place. So peaceful to walk around. Enjoyed the car museum and the American art museum as well. Check it out if you are in the area!

Joshua Krutiak

This place is amazing! Beautiful scenery, art gallery, car museum, Adventure Park across the street (it does cost another $50 and usually requires reservation, but totally worth it!)...for $25 ea. my daughter and I took the guided tour. We were 20 minutes late...missed it, basically. But the staff got on their radios and Mike, one of the fantastic maintenance crew, gave us a lift to rendezvous with our group. 5 star treatment all the way! And the "snack bar" serves incredible gourmet sandwiches! Phenominal experience! (For $50 you can get a season pass to go as many times as you like, even the "Gardens a Glow" Christmas light display)

Carissa Trocchio

Always a beautiful walk with different flowers blooming, offering a new experience each time you go. A playground for kids, a carousel, and antique cars too!

Carol Bloom

Beautiful collection of vintage cars

Mary Wilder

Absolutely beautiful went while visiting family..it was the Rhodendran festival..Beautiful gardens and great sculptures and fountains..

Justin Cohen

Beautiful gardens. The kids loved the Hollow and the carousel especially

Patricia Croteau

Beautiful pathways through lovely maintained gardens. The car exhi it was very enjoyable. You can spend all day here!

Chris Hart

Awesome place. Loved the cars but the grounds and gardens are impressive as well. We planned a few hours for our visit but ended up staying all day.

Josh Coleman

What a cool spot! Lots of gardens and little trails to wander around. Signage could be better, especially around the parking but a neat place overall!

lizakroberts

I bought a membership this year and it was the best money spent for this spring and summer. I love theses gardens.

Huffenstein

Very fun to walk around and explore, but is fairly small

Jade Arnold-Scott

Amazingly beautiful at night!! I can't wait to see it during the day. When you go through the labyrinth, greet the trees as you approach the center, and you must await the next traveler to release you from the center, or touch the tree in the center, and you can gracefully, and fairly jump the walls to freedom. You should wait at least the duration it took you to complete your labyrinth. (That's just the game my husband, our friend, and I played. People had fun playing along with us!)

Good Dog!

Great place for families and to take a break from the beaches. Cool cars, history, art and beautiful gardens. Yummy eats and drinks too. Parents should try to explore the sites before going to Hidden Hollow (kids treehouse and play area), the kids will want to hangout there for a while. Don't miss the carousel ride!

Helen Miller

The gardens are beautiful and there are a variety of nice trails to walk down.

John Paul

History of the Indy 500 was a great exhibition. Included the actual cars. From Eddie Rickenbacker's to Danica Patrick and most everyone in between.

sharon mitchell

What a great time. So relaxing to stroll through such a beautiful well maintained place. My daughter and her mother in law and I took the grandchildren (1 & 3) there, even they enjoyed it. The merry go round is beautiful and there was a area for them to sit and color in one of the buildings. If hungry, the snack bar although small , had a good selection, good food ( cost more than I would have thought ) ( you can pack a lunch yourself and eat there) . This was worth the visit.

Linda Hurlburt

Beautiful awesome cant wait to go back

Rob McKnight

Place is absolutely beautiful and tranquil. Car show was very nice as well as the bright beautiful sunny Saturday day. Just a good feel and vibe. Grounds are beautifully kept and the museum's are spectacular with the antique cars. As well as the local hand national history. Great place to take the family or that significant other.

dee smith

Not very big. Lacking in flowers and plants. Overrated. Suggest you avoid.

Sujeetpal Singh Sardar

I had pretty high expectations from this place. Liked it but not worth going for on a 1 hour or more trip. Loved the carousel in there .:)

Troy Tufano

This is one of the most amazing gems in our area. Until recently I didn't even know it existed. We went on Mother's Day and will be going back again soon. Totally worth every penny. Fun for the entire family, young, old and everyone else in between!

Adam Overlock

Nice lights display and carousel. Meeting Mrs. Claus was nice.

Paul Knarr

The rhododenrums were very impressive. Hundreds and hundreds all over the extensive grounds. Spent 3 hours walking the grounds

BRENT Buchannon

Words cant describe how beautiful this park is everything is so manicured so perfectly laid out just breath taking,the car museum is immaculate and has so much history, everyone needs to go there.

CHRISTINE DANGELO

Excellent gardens, museum, beautiful scenic views. Will visit this wonderful place again

David Smith

Very pleasant gardens to walk around. Great for kids too.

Steve Johnson

You are visiting Cape Cod or from Cape Cod and have never been here you are truly missing out it is a beautiful example of an outdoor Garden, they have so many special events throughout the year Christmas time light show is wonderful and the carousel that you can ride five times in a row if you want is great especially if you have children make sure you check out the outdoor rock garden with the water features beautiful

Rita Hansen

Absolute serenity! Beautifully kept grounds!

Craig Smith

We went on kids day. The grounds are well maintained, it's absolutely beautiful. There were lots of activities for kids, including a scavenger hunt. Barnstaple sheriff's were there doing a K9 demonstration. Great day!

Doug Temple

Great place for all ages,something for everyone,Rhododendrons are peaking now

Brandon Sanford

Wonderful garden with a surprisingly good collection of early 1900-1930's cars.

amitesh kumar

Every penny worth it and well beyond One of the best heritage museum. Lots of greenery. It was so cool even on a hot sweltering day. Garden, walkways, meadows everything was just amazing. Special exhibits are a treat to watch. The paintings, the alphabets and famous chronological events..the heritage racing cars...and the very best 110 year old carousal..too good to be true...the hosts were very courteous in directing towards next destination on the trail of landmarks...the tree house and hidden hollow was fascinating...a small waterfall and bore well with pump, s set of nice musical instruments built with pipes and wood...other landmarks like large Mic's, center stage in the garden, giant bed frame made of water pipes etc....and as mentioned at the start the whole garden and varieties of trees, bushes and flowers and soothing sound of so many birds....just mesmerized

John Gilpin

Very nice.

Sean Gilbert

This place was awesome. The museum was running an exhibit on the history of the Indianapolis 500 while we were there and it was pretty fascinating to see the evolution of that sport. The grounds are beautiful and there are some pretty nice , and easy, hiking trails around the wooded areas. Overall it was a really nice relaxing day here.

Jennifer Hart

Free fun Friday event, lots of paths to walk and fun things to check out. A maze, a Labyrinth, tree house and carousel are some of the treasures you will find

Emily Johnson Peterson

We go here multiple times a week in the spring and summer months. Extremely courteous staff and always something new to explore in the gardens or museums. My kids are 4.5 & 2.5 and they LOVE it. I recommend Bringing a change of clothes and or water shoes for younger kids.

Jon Husby

Very unique car collection from several lesser known car companies, as well as established ones. The staff was very knowledgeable. Very informative signs and overviews. As a car guy from Detroit area, I appreciated this venue. I'll be back!

Spencer Richards

Always a great time for the family. Such a beautiful place with plenty for all ages to do and see.

Miriam Sanchez

Outstanding collection of vintage cars!

Jessica Meau

Amazing place to spend an afternoon with your littles friends and family. Absolutely beautiful grounds with so much to do for toddlers.

Kimberly Smith

Beautiful place! I loved the old carousel they have in one of the buildings. You can totally ride it still! There seemed to be endless nooks of different flower displays and little things to do. Great way to spend some time

Corey Anderson

The lights were magical this time of year! Really enjoyed it with my 7 year old. There was some really interesting spots to visit and the merry-go-round at the end was fun with the group we all were with. Nothing too crazy but that's exactly what I expected going to this place and it delivered a nice, relaxing experience with good friends.

Janice Nelson

Bravo! A FANTASTIC visit. We certainly made a wonderful memory at your festival of lights. Thank you!

Luca

A little pricey but worth it if you spend some time. Enjoy yourself. Bring a picnic and enjoy the large green spaces.

Kevin Warren

Great place to walk through the grounds, visit the various buildings and take lots of photos.

Aaron Richardson

Gorgeous place. My family likes the carousel.

Mark Wlaz

100 Acres of gardens and museums. Well worth the visit.

Charles Gates

End of May is a great time to visit.

Trox Cronos

Beautiful plants and trees

John Kish

Loved this place, especially the old cars

Karen Rezendes

Lovely gardens, amazing car collection, nostalgic carousel, art exhibits, wonderful walking trails, a large shaded labyrinth and more! Something for everyone! Children of all ages can take delight in Hidden Hollows with its huge tree house and its variety of nature games, music makers, and imagination generators. For those who prefer to ride through the property, there are shuttles/chauffeur-driven golf carts. This special place is an ever changing, always worthwhile retreat - a place to walk and breathe in beauty.

T Johnson

Visited here while vacationing on the Cape. Nice activity to do if you are looking for some variety on your vacation. Child friendly. Car museum was excellent. The café was excellent as well and I recommend eating there. Took 1 star off as I thought the children's activities could be a little better. This is a GEM (great experience for members) according to AAA.

Sandra Hodzic

Such a great place. It’s on top of a hill in a neighborhood, where you wouldn’t believe a museum like this would ever be. It reminds me of the arboretum in MN. Such beautiful landscape. And so much history!

Nancy Edwards

Beautiful grounds. Excellent automobile collection. Fun carousel

Gail Mathews

Perfect day ! The gardens are superior, lots to walk around, the car museum is fantastic and just right for a 5 year old boy !!

curtis wyman

Great place. Loved the old cars. The flowers and walking paths are lovely. We'll go back soon.

Chris Jeancake

A bit pricy but great for the whole family. Loved the cars. The grounds are beautiful. It was our first time to chimpmonks. My wife enjoyed the carousel too. Worth the time and money.

chaitanya krishna

Nice place to spend a day with family. Lot of vintage cars and great collection. The day we had gone they had vintage car show on display. Beautiful cars and lot of activities. Surprisingly outside food is allowed at this place, though they have a restaurant/cafe style place. Outside the park there is also zip line, more of an adventurous thing for kids 7+ and adults to fully grown adults also.

Matthew B

Gorgeous gardens highlighted by a wonderful rare car exhibit.

Tom Sprague

Always a fabulous visit. Well eun. Friendly, professional staff.

Michael O'Connell

50th anniversary was amazing. So many old cars and tons of knowledge I learned a ton.

Michael MacDonald

Beautiful grounds, great old carosel, realy cool antique auto museum.

Paul Gryniewski

Very nice place to stroll and take in the beautiful gardens and auto museum

Richard Drake

Great car show last weekend didn't seemuch else

Jules Latouche

It's a an extraordinary place to visit.

Dan G

Not in full bloom yet but still nice

Daniel Athearn

Absolutely specactular place to explore.

Jacqueline Lugo

Loved this place I would definitely return and do it all again.

Ken Bryant

There is a lot to see here, including an old merry go round you take a ride on.

Taylor Bosley

We visited in the middle of June, so not sure if it was too early in the season, but I really don’t understand what the hype is all about. Sure it is a nice place to visit, but really not that much different than going to a public park. It was nice to see a few uncommon trees but it was confusing to walk around and very little signage and direction. They need an app or something that directs visitors where to go and what they’re looking at. If it were free, I may take a second look later on, but would not pay to get into a place like this again.

Nancy Simison

Constantly improving, if you haven 't been in a while you haven't been. The grounds are really beautifully arranged and well cared for. Enough for kids to keep them happy.

Adam Federer

The lights were beautiful.... the kids really enjoyed the carousel and visiting Mr. And Mrs. Claus

Pamela Cavagnaro

Went of Free Friday last week. Very nice place, very calm and peaceful. Reg price is $18 over age 12. The car museum was small but cool. They have a Nascar exhibit now. Wear good shoes, lots of walking.

John Jereson

Awesome place to walk around and explore.

Quintin Duquette

I went there when they had their lights up for Christmas time and it was the best display of lights I’ve seen on cape.

Greg Blume

First visit - we were so impressed we became members. Very well run and obviously much planning goes into the planning here. There is something here for everyone, young children will find fun things to interact with the exhibits. In the Indy Car showcase children can build component racecars and test the out on ramps. In the art display building children have a place to trace and color. Lots of fun to be had in the hidden hollow for children as well.

Tim Carpenter

What a beautiful set of gardens. Plants and trees well identified. Things for children and adults to enjoy see and do. The collections housed in museums are fascinating; from antique cars to paintings to miniature military figures to decoys. Plus they have an indoor operating antique carasoul that even the adults can ride!

Allen Russell

I love this place. Great place to wander around and enjoy the gardens on a nice day. Amazing antique car collection and interesting art and other collections throughout the grounds as well. Also open for the most amazing holiday light display around in December.

Susan Souza

This space is wonderful with so many different things to offer the adult, but also things for children. Outside gardens are well maintained and plentiful. There's a gallery, a museum, a car collection, gift shop, food and beverage area and simply hours of enjoyment walking the grounds.

Diones Lima

Beautiful, peaceful and ruge so, bring some water with you.

Henry Savelli

A terrific place to take the whole family. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly. The flowers and grounds are beautiful. "Hidden Hollow" is great for the kids. Their auto museum was of particular interest to me as they had an Indycar exhibit there. Highly recommended.

Nir Sveri

A nice place to walk around at but a little disappointing with the minimal colors at this time of the year very few blooming flowers so it was like walking in central park. The car exhibition was very cool and the place is clean with lots of romantic walking paths (hikes LOL) with plenty of helpful people to guide you but a better map (or way more signage) would have made the exploration part more fun I'm not sure what's their target audience but it seems like little kids were bored to tears because there are few to no activities for them. I think placement of some some refreshment selling carts around the place would make you stay longer- we were cooked after an hour and it was only 80 degrees. Lastly...the last mile or so is driven on a pothole filled dirt road!!! The place is celebrating its 50th anniversary...evidently so is the road LOL...fix it please.

Megan Donoghue

I never knew this place existed when I was growing up camping on cape cod! We now come down a couple of times a year and explore the gardens in the spring and summer and at Christmas time. They are so beautiful and peaceful, the grounds are massive, and the staff is very friendly. We also love to ride the carousel over and over again.

Peter Ball

Not enough color. They need to plant more flowers with color at all times. Our visit was on 25th June and rhododendron had almost all finished but azaleas not in flower and hydrangea not yet in flower. Nice walks with good view of lake. Exhibit hall and car museum were both very interesting.

Jody Mellinger

Beautiful gardens, very nice antique car collection. Makes for a nice visit with the car collection for the men and the flower gardens for women. Carousel and play area even for children. There was also an interesting art collection on display during my visit. I would be sure to allow several hours to see everything and plan for a lot of walking. It's been awhile since I was there, but from what I remember I believe most areas are wheelchair friendly. There is also a small cafe/snack bar and also a gift shop.

Evelyn Elizabeth Garzetta

Beautiful, interesting, great place for photos. Bought 3 hydrangeas whire, red and purple. Will definitely return. Carousel, tree house and full of history. Wonderful trails. Don't miss it!!!
