One of the most beautiful places to visit in Houston. The gardens are beautiful and the house is packed with great art and history.

Wow...I loved this!! Winterthur in Houston is an apt analogy. The Hogg family had a lot of money and were avid collectors of early American furniture. The collection has been maintained and is tastefully organized and arranged throughout the house according to the period. You begin the tour with a room furnished in Jacobean pieces onto Chippendale, federal style, Victorian, neoclassical, Etc. Each room furnished in a specific period. My docent was simply delightful and well prepared for the tour. I highly recommend the guided tour. The grounds are beautiful. A definite GO!!!

Can you take pictures with your phone and what the cost to enter?

anna hernandez | Nov 4, 2021
Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens | Nov 4, 2021

Hello, Anna (and thank you, Elizabeth! For reasons I don't know, I did not get a notification for this question, but I did for your reply, so I appreciate your assistance): Anna, the quickest answer is as follows: yes, you can take pictures with your phone. No flash photography is allowed inside the house, and photos can be a commemoration of your visit, but cannot be "event" photography - bridal, engagement, Christmas card photos, etc. Our admission costs, as well as the complete text for our photography policy may be found here: https://www.mfah.org/visit/bayou-bend-collection-and-gardens/bayou-bend-visitor-info Children 9 & under are free, and the most anyone would have to pay otherwise is $12.50 for a visit that includes both home and gardens. A variety of discounts are available to students, seniors, and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston members.

I’ve looked at the reviews and it says the best time to go is in March, but I would like to know how the Gardens would still look in early April(specifically April 3rd) and if there will be any construction or something going on on that day.

Alaska2210 | Nov 4, 2020
ken crimmins | Nov 4, 2020

This year the lack of harsh winter is leading to early bloom of the flowers. So April 3 should be good if it is a nice day

I’ve noticed pictures of the nice big bridge with lights on it during the night However the place closes at 5pm! Would you be able to get there past dark to see the bridge lit up?

Nathan Best | Nov 4, 2020
Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens | Nov 4, 2020

Hi Nathan, The lights on the bridge are for our annual Christmas program. During the month of December, we are open nights so it can be seen lit up! Keep an eye on mfah.org/christmasvillage for 2020 dates a bit later in the year.

Is there separate admission fees for the self-guide house tour and the self-guided garden tour? Or is it all paid in one fee? Asking for me and my husband, we would like self-guided tours for both...

Andrya Beasley | Nov 4, 2020
Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens | Nov 4, 2020

Hi Andrya, Any purchase of a house tour at Bayou Bend includes the gardens, so if you choose that option, there is no separate fee. There is also a less expensive, gardens-only admission if you're only interested in the gardens. If, during your visit, you decide you'd like to go into the home, you would only be required to pay the remaining difference to upgrade to a full house + gardens tour. If you have any further questions about our admission schedule, give us a call at 713.639.7750. Thanks!
