What families say

Nemours Estate offers a rich dose of Gilded Age history—kids can see a 47,000-square-foot mansion with original French-influenced decor, plus a classic car collection, while guides stationed in each room share stories that make the history come alive. Plan for a few hours to cover the house and the 300 acres of grounds (a shuttle tour is included), and note that water and umbrellas are provided if weather turns rainy. Reviews consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff, making this a solid pick for history-loving families of most ages.
