About this Event
Spring has sprung at the Ten Broeck Mansion! Join us for special spring-themed tours in April and May digging deeper into the history of the Ten Broeck Mansion gardens, and highlighting some of our favorite floral and spring-themed items in our collections.
During your visit, explore our four acres of gardens in peak spring bloom! Self-guided tour brochures are available in our garden kiosk for visitors to enjoy.
All children (to age 18) are FREE. We recommend at least one adult per child under 5. We suggest you take an additional 20-30 minutes to explore our extensive gardens on your own with self-guided tours, and browse our museum shop.
