I was looking for a bubble to pop and ended up doing a lap around the entire zone. Really fun tho!
My husband and I went to see this place today and we were both really disappointed. This place was flooded during hurricane Harvey and left the gardens pretty much in a bad shape. And perhaps that it’s fall season didn’t help either. Flowers are not in bloom and whatever greenery were left needs some TLC. I feel that it’s a reap off to charge people an entrance fee of $10 each wihen the condition of the garden is not up to par and all you could do is see the main house which has lots of history but nothing extraordinarily special.
This a very nice and pleasant park. Naturally, I would enjoy visiting a place like this. Unfortunately I had broken my leg several days prior to my visit here and I had to use a wheel chair and started to really appreciate wheel chair friendly places. Unfortunately, this is not one of those places - hard to pass trails, a lot of places with several stairs and not a single ramp. The house has two stories and there is a lift to the 2nd floor but it only for staff use! In short, it's a great place but they have a lot to improve in the accessibility department.
I stumbled across this lovely place, never knowing it was so close to home. Lots to see!
The best time to go is mid March when the azaleas bloom. The rest of the year is more green than flowery, but I never regret going. Whenever I come here, I just fantasize bout being able to live there with such an amazing garden as my back yard. The lawn is beautiful from the house, and several of the trees are amazingly enormous and stately. The house tour isn't really worth the money, but you could do it once just to say you did.
