This historical gardens in Long Island is worth a visit regardless of its entrance fee $10/adult and $6/senior citizen, even if the House is under renovation, you can t get in the Mansion / Museum at the moment due to its refurbishment. But once the restoration is done, this Old Westbury Gardens will even be more gorgeous than ever! The gardens look very British. You can walk around the park with your dog for as long as it has leashed on. This Park is ideal for family as well. Children can run around the green meadows, there are no children s playground though, haven t seen one. But taking a stroll in this Garden Park is indeed invigorating. In Autumn, the flowers are mostly Chrysanthemums in colours of golden yellow, golden orange, magenta, light pink...so lovely all around the park. The Rose garden is gorgeous but roses are not in bloom anymore but imagine in summer when roses are at its peak. Could have been more lovely to take photos. I can highly recommend this serene place for people who wants to get away from the hustle and hustle of the big city. Always worth your time and effort.
