Our office went to see the Garden of Lights. It was beautiful. Walk at your own pace. They have a snack bar with hot cocoa, cider, and mulled wine. Treats for the kids. Find all the gnomes hidden inside and receive a prize at the end.

A Great Museum Full Of Historical Idems of The Past. And Had A Special Marvel Experience. Definitely, A Must See If Your In Your The Area.

Entry was free on Wednesday, the museum has a wing that changes every time I've gone. The garden wasn't completely in bloom when I was there but the bamboo garden was nice

We've lived in the area for about 15 years and can't believe we've never been here! What a great museum. Some of the permanent exhibit is a little dry for kids but the outdoor gardens are huge and well maintained and worth a visit on their own ..... especially with the Lego sculptures (which just finished up). We'll be back for the Marvel exhibit and to explore the trails on a cooler day.

Took my granddaughter to see the Lego exhibits today and it was wonderful! The weather was perfect and the exhibits were magnificent. We were there for an hour and a half to two hours and had a great time. Great way to spend a day off school for sure.

I cannot say enough about this place! I took the grandsons to experience the "Lego" exhibit. The boys are ages 16 and 9 and both had a blast! The artist is so talented and made beautiful sculptures out of these popular building blocks. We visited the Asian garden and went into the bamboo garden. Both were tranquil and peaceful. I was shocked when the 9 year old asked to see the exhibits inside. I think he may now be a lover of museums.

Really nice small museum with a historic house and very large, spectacular gardens on the grounds near the new building. The museum space is surprisingly small, so I assume the new building is also a warehouse for the collection. On display were antique furniture and clocks, some art work, historical artifacts, and large house models. The portrait of Washington alone is worth the trip. Large Lego statues are on display currently.

Beautiful museum and grounds. The gardens, house and outdoor area were very nice and full of information about the previous owners of the property. The museum itself was laid out quite comfortably to walk through. Our family had a great time here.
