Take a tour of JD Rockefeller masterpiece. Tour run from spring to fall and will sure to enlighten your senses. Nelson Rockefeller was a grand collector of art which you will see all throughout.
Gardens are very worth the visit! The grand tour doesn't go upstairs in the house, but gives time to explore the basement art collection and outdoor views . 3 hours long: put on your walking shoes .
Take a shorter tour if you know it's going to be a hot summer day. We recommend doing the grand tour on a mild spring or fall day - you'll be more comfortable and it's totally worth it!
Kykuit was the jewel in the Rockefeller crown – a home, a sanctuary and a museum . Tick off work by artists in the gardens but you have to go underground to see the Picasso tapestries.
Timed tours only. Park at the visitor's center and you get bussed over. The house and grounds are spectacular but the underground art gallery is a huge, tacky disappointment.
This place is a gem and good for all age groups. Go during the fall for harvest experiences.
Wear comfortable shoes ...modern art collection is unexpected in such a classic old house
Interesting account of one of America’s most powerful families. The essential tour covers a lot.
The most beautiful place upstate!
What a lovely tour ! Mid-70° weather is perfect for this tour !
Brian gives excellent tours ! The views are spectacular.
The exteriors are singularly splendid but the interiors are not as impressive as I thought they would be and left some to be desired. Skip the grand tour and go for one of the shorter options.
Take a tour of this house on the hill through November, home to four generations of Rockefellers. We love the view from the head of the terraced gardens .
My house is a little bigger, but overall, a beautiful "cottage."
The tour was amazing!
Beautiful. Great to visit.
Gotta love the view of the Hudson and the Playhouse.
The art here is breathtaking!
Great place to visit.
Not as nice as my estate. LOL
Overflow parking isn't as far as it seems. Easy enough if main parking is full. - Roni Weiss
Took the classic tour it was extremely extensive and very informative. Just the right balance! - Roseann LoSchiavo
Great beer selection, burgers and I love their nachos. - Kerri Ahern
The summer menu is off the charts. Worth the splurge. - Amanda Shulman
