About
Nemours Estate is a 77-room mansion with the largest French formal gardens in North America. Young kids tend to enjoy the long reflecting pool, fountains, statues and the Chauffeur's Garage full of vintage cars more than the house itself. A garden-only pass is cheaper than the full estate pass, and children 5 and under are free. Strollers are allowed in the gardens but not inside the mansion; picnics are encouraged on the grounds.
