The woman at the front desk was incredibly rude! The docents inside the house weren’t much better, and they were not very knowledgeable. They seemed more interested in hurrying us through; we were done in less than 20 minutes. When asked questions about the artifacts, they either didn’t know the answer or pulled out a giant binder to rummage through—still not providing interesting context. The art museum and gardens were nice, but the rest of the experience was negative. Garden Tram driver Bob was the only redeeming factor of this trip; he was great!

We spent at the least 1 hour. But we were really into the history of it all. And the garden tour is well worth the extra time .

Are there accommodations- like a golf cart - to take a visitor to the cafeteria (because she needs a walker) ?

Sandy Muchnick | Oct 20, 2019
Adventures in History Films | Oct 20, 2019

Yes. The cafeteria is at the visitors center, and you can pull up right next to the visitors center to let out a person with a walker/wheelchair/etc. There is a bit of a walk on a paved downhill path (no steps) from the regular parking lot to the visitors center, so when I bring my mom with her walker I always drop her off right at the visitors center. There is a bus that will take you from the visitors center to the mansion/museum. At the mansion/museum you can board a tram, which will take you for a nice long tour around the gardens. Hope this Helps!

How often do the shuttles run?

Kelly Wood | Oct 20, 2018
Katie Hennen | Oct 20, 2018

Not sure what the official schedule is but we've never had to wait for one.

Does winterthur identify antiques as to period and possible maker. I have a birdseye maple which is not victorian but I believe it is late 1800, also I have an embroidery mounted in a mahogany frame from the mid 1850's which I believe is exceptional.

Richard Hubbard | Oct 20, 2018
Mary Anne Cotugno | Oct 20, 2018

I'm not aware that they evaluate items from the public. I agree with previous responder; contact them.
