Do not miss touring Winterthur if you are in Wilmington, Del or even Philadelphia! The house and grounds are mind blowing! This is one of the largest homes in the US and was owned by one of the DuPonts. He amassed a huge collection of early American furniture, art etc which is all on display as you tour the home. He would buy whole rooms out of homes and install the walls, lighting, etc. There are people in every area as you go through the house to answer questions about all the art, furniture, silver etc. The home sits on huge grounds and your entry ticket includes a ride around the grounds with a guide. There are other separate tours you can take but the initial entry ticket covers so much! The people working here are fantastic! They have golf carts to whisk you from the visitors center to the house and around the grounds and they will call one for you at any time so you don’t have to worry about having to walk long distances. Don’t miss it!

Great garden and fall colors! We liked the meadow and the old growth forest beyond.
Good signage on the way in.
Our first visit was on a Trick or Treat Saturday.
If you are an American Horticultural Society member and live more than 90 miles away, present your membership card for free admission.
Went straight to the cafe that could perhaps put up signs to separate people ordering hot food from those picking it up.
For the garden tram tour, driver Mike was great but could use the mic a bit more, and there was some noise from the engine on tram #4. Another tram had squeaky brakes. This would be a perfect place to have electric or hybrid carts! Great for the environment and quiet for the best experience.
Mike stated that Winterthur was best in the spring and recommended the March Bank, daffodils in the meadow, and Azalea Garden. He recommended checking the bloom report on their website.

Start with this tour for an extra $10 to ‘set the scene’ and go behind closed doors on the upper floors of this enormous house. Our guide Nancy was so well-informed on the decorative arts and the history of this outstanding collection. It is wonderful to see the top quality items in their room settings instead of behind museum glass. We learnt a lot and then did the self-guided walk through the principal rooms downstairs. The admission terms allow a return visit the following day. We also enjoyed Bob’s narrated tram ride around the estate. Don’t miss the delicious ‘Kennett Square mushroom’ soup for lunch.

Very disappointed. Maybe it is fall, but the grounds we saw were not that interesting.
Too many "tours" to choose from, when they should combine them. Won't be back.

Winterthur is an estate where one may spend part of a day visiting the home and museum or return many times to walk the grounds, have a picnic or enjoy the lovely grounds. During a self-guided tour of the home, one will see part of the fourth and fifth floors of the 9-floor mansion. The home which began with twelve rooms, now has well over 100, many of which are underground. We also took the garden tour, a 30-minute narrated tour which went around many areas of the grounds, as well as enjoyed the museum and galleries with many collections on display during our visit. The estate is so large that one cannot see everything in just one visit.

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We travel from NJ a few times a year, trying to hit every season because every season holds reveals a different array of flowers. We love the team tour which gives all of the highlights and history of the mansion and surrounding grounds. Louise is the absolute best tour guide. She has such a personality and passion, and is a bubbling spring of information. The mansion tour is self-guided but has historians available to answer questions in almost every room of the tour. The museum has various presentations; it’s different almost every time we come. We also appreciate the air conditioned shuttle (especially when it’s very hot) which drops and picks up at various spots throughout the day. Gifts shop and cafe are on site as well Everyone is pleasant and helpful. We would recommend Winterthur for all ages as there is an enchanted fairy garden for the children that young and old alike will love.

To call Winterthur a garden is such an understatement. It is a garden with acres of manicured lawns and trails. We visited on what we expected to be a busy Saturday. We were surprised to find ourselves alone with lovely views of rolling hills and meadows without another person in sight. The azaleas were already done blooming for the season but we enjoyed the rhododendron and dogwoods. We also went on the home tour where the staff stationed in each room were happy to share interesting facts about the home and the items in each room. We did not use the tram that circulates around the property but it would be convenient for anyone unable to walk long distances.

Winterthur was one of the two top priorities my wife and I wanted to visit during our trip to Wilmington. Our timing was very good, as a garden tram tour started within minutes of us entering the estate. The guide was very enthusiastic as she discussed the gardens, meadows, woods, etc., on the property. We also spent time viewing the main residence, which was filled with objects (art, furniture, etc.). I found the house very interesting. We also viewed the galleries, where I enjoyed the furniture exhibits. We finished our tour by the reflecting pool, which was very calming.
While you can tour in about three hours, if you want to spend some real time in the gardens and other areas, you might be better off spending a full day here.

This month, we ventured to Winterthur in northern Delaware, just a 1 hour and 55-minute drive from Seaford.
Once a DuPont family retreat, Winterthur boasts 60 acres of stunning gardens and a 175-room mansion with the world's finest collection of American decorative arts from 1640-1860. The estate also hosts contemporary art events.
Open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm, Winterthur offers customizable itineraries. General admission includes self-guided tours of the fourth and fifth floors, garden access, walking trails, the enchanting three-acre children's garden, Enchanted Woods, exhibitions, and a narrated tram tour.
Admission is $25 for adults, $23 for seniors/students, and $8 for children (3-12). Free wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers are available.
For a deeper dive, a 75-minute guided tour is available for $10 more, covering areas not included in the self-guided tour. Reservations are recommended, as tours are limited to 5 people and offered three times daily.
Winterthur is beautifully preserved, with knowledgeable guides sharing rich history. A must-visit for history and nature lovers, Winterthur is a true Delaware gem worth experiencing year-round.

Is the tram heated during November, December?

How much time should we plan on spending here? How much does it cost?
كُتب بتاريخ 28 أغسطس 2019
There is a lot to see at Winterthur so plan for as much as you want to see. There are house tours, a 60-acre garden to walk through, galleries and exhibitions as well as a library. The tickets are valid for two consecutive days, so you can always split up your visit to see everything.
كُتب بتاريخ 11 سبتمبر 2019
I see they sell tickets in advance for the introductory tour. Is it necessary to book tickets in advance? Or are people usually able to purchase tickets when they arrive?
كُتب بتاريخ 24 يونيو 2019
You can purchase tickets upon arrival. However you may not get the tour time that you want.

My friend and I came for the Yuletide tour and The Miniature tour. We would like to return. When is the best time to see the Spring Blooms. We would also visit Longwood while in that area.

If you take the Amtrack train, what are the transportation options from the station? Will they let taxis drop you close by where you don't have to do extensive walking before you get to the house?
كُتب بتاريخ 6 أبريل 2017
A cab ride from Wilmington's Amtrak station should take 15-20 minutes. It can drop you off at the Visitors' Center. (The cafe there is quite good.) There is a shuttle that takes you to the mansion.

What about self-guided Yuletide Tours?
كُتب بتاريخ 22 أكتوبر 2016
I have not done the Yuletide Tour either. All of their tours have some things included and things you can do on your own. Check out their website for details. You will also see on their website offerings of discounts for certain events. I found them at the "bookstore". We ordered something in advance and then received a discount on admission.

We are considering taking a handicapped 90yr old here for her birthday in mid-December. Does anyone have experience with how well they handle complex visitors? Is it worth the hassle to visit in December?

Our Yuletide Tour is wheelchair accessible. It is a beautiful holiday tour and our most popular tour of the years, and we have the Tiffany Glass: Painting with Color and Light exhibition this year during Yuletide as well in the Galleries. The colors will be spectacular! We do have wheelchairs on site, but they are first come, first serve, and we do not offer reservations for wheelchairs. The garden is open if you want to walk through it but at that time of year, there is much blooming and it can be chilly. I hope this helps. Feel free to call 800.448.3883 for more information.

It depends on what time of year you are planning to visit. If it's nice out, you will probably want to spend quite a bit of time outside in the garden and take the tram tour, so that may limit how much time you want to spend touring inside. If you are interested in more than a general overview of the house, there are several great in-depth reserved tours you can take. Again, this does depend on what time of year you are visiting. The Fashionable Furnishings Tour and Winterthur Then and Now are both very popular reserved tours. You can visit the website for the most updated tour information.

The gardens are sprawling and more naturalistic than those at Longwood. THe owner was very interested in how to approach the landscape, hardscape and plantings and what he achieved fits well with the house and grounds.

Have tickets to Yuletide Tour @ 9:30 AM. What time should we arrive? What else should we do while there (definitely want to see the Downton exhibit), and in what order? (For example, should we ride the garden tram before the tour? Will there be more house to explore after the tour?)
كُتب بتاريخ 19 ديسمبر 2014
Sorry that I've been away and just now saw this. If it's not too late, the only thing I would add to all this good advice it to visit the clothing in the museum addition, if you enjoy the Downton costumes. They are lovely, too! Bon voyage!
