Wow! What a fantastic "summer cottage". Huge, detailed architecture, amazing furnishings, and great views. Self guided tour. Full review by Monte O

The staff is eager to answer questions. The mansion is stunning, but the inside tour is short. There is no access to the entire third floor, and like every Disney attraction, the tour ended in a gif… Full review by eileenv525

Had to go to at least one Mansion when visiting Newport and this is the one to visit. It was busy but everyone was very curtious and things kept moving. Make sure when visiting to download the audio.… Full review by David S

Q:
Is it possible to NOT a pay a ticket? I am not interested in the inside tour. I am interested in just seeing each mansions property and outside, getting some photos and moving on. Its confusing online because the tickets seem for INSIDE tours? But is it free to just admire from the outside? Thanks

You are missing a treat by not visiting the inside! If you take the time to research where the cost of admission goes, there isn’t a better value for the money spent. These wonderful mansions require a great deal of care and upkeep. It is remarkable for us to be granted a look back into the past for the price of one good glass of wine… Do yourself a favor…skip something else, but don’t miss going inside and outside to visit such a grand old piece of history!!

Hi. The website says that "House and grounds close 1 hour after last tour admission." It gives the hours of 10AM-5PM, but I don't know if that means that the last tour admission is 5. Are the house and grounds open until 6PM?
A:
It will depend on when you go. The brochure says effective October 30th, the hours are reduced during the winter months from 10am to 4 pm. However, you can call them or …

It will depend on when you go. The brochure says effective October 30th, the hours are reduced during the winter months from 10am to 4 pm. However, you can call them or contact them to find out. However, even if they allow admission up until 5pm, I would not wait until that late to begin a tour because the tour can easily take longer than an hour, especially if you: are with multiple people, take your time, take photos and explore the grounds outside.
